snowleopard said:Came home a few days ago to find cat and dog snuggled up sleeping together. The ignominy . . .
Early in the morning, as soon as she hears me stir, the cat arrives at my bed. She either is there for a little attention, or I am being summoned for one of three tasks for which I am responsible. She will a) lead me to the door to be let out to attend to bodily functions, b) to her dish to witness her dismay that it is empty, or c) to the stove (invariably out and cold), where she sits down in front of it, and looks at me meaningfully. At first I thought I was surely imagining this, but it's happened too often for coincidence.
Also, when she has been outside and the door/window is opened to let her in, esp. in the bitter cold, she zooms past and heads for the stove. All doors lead to stove.
pen said:If this stove runs I don't have to see the cat. If the stove goes cold in the winter the damned heat whore is in my lap. Doesn't matter how many flying lessons she's had, she just doesn't get it.
This animal makes poor judgements regarding the people who want to spend time w/ her >:-(
Wife could be sound asleep on the couch, or the boys in bed, and she feels the need to cuddle w/ the enemy.
The winter she finally kicks it I'll probably drop down from 4.5 to about 3 cords of wood per year to heat this place.
brb, an overabundance of food in her bowl helps keep her away too

BrotherBart said:You obviously need 1. A bigger dish and 2. A bigger stove.
Don't even mess with number 3. If they are happy not crapping in a box in the house, feel blessed.

we'll call it "hair of the dog"
snowleopard said:My 13-y.o. old GSD had surgery today to remove a mass on her back leg. Spendy! Vet said that it was deeply adhered and that was typical of the more aggressive growths, so probably realistic to expect it to return, but might have bought her a few years. She is deaf, developing glaucoma, and getting creaky in the rear end. Still seems to be having a good time, though. Looked pretty goofy after the anesthesia tonight, but found her way to the dinner bowl anyway. Need to explain to the kids that unless circumstances change, we probably won't be doing this again, for a variety of reasons. Sounds like we may not need to make the decision, but better to have it made in advance.
After the dog returned home, the cat checked her out--somehow knew that she wasn't firing on all 8 cylinders--double nose-touching protocol, careful sniff of the muzzle. Gotta say, it makes me grateful again for the day she wandered in and decided to stay. Somehow knowing that there's going to be another critter around will make this easier. Anyway, she's patched up for awhile.
BrotherBart said:19 degrees this morning so I got to see Michelle's winter morning ritual for the first time this year. When I come down she is talking to me. Wanting to go out and do her bidness. I crack the door, she flies through it and comes to a screeching halt when she hits the cold air. And then does what she does whenever anything annoys here. She lifts her right paw and shakes it once. There is never any need to wonder if something irritates her. I have only seen her shake it twice one time in three years. There was a wall of snow outside that door that morning.
