My cat could have stared in that cartoon! I think someone came in and saw how he acted and made the cartoon out of it, that's great.
One of my cats likes to go down stairs to the laundry room in the middle of the night and bring up all the dirty underwear. We have to keep the kleenex box covered because the other one likes to pull them all out of the box in the middle of the night. We wake up and there are underwear and kleenex all over the living room floor.
Mine aren't stupid either. I got one of those laser light pointers and started playing with them with it. After about 5 minutes they realized they couldn't get it, so that was the end of that.
I've stopped buying them toys too. I've got all these cat toys all over the place that they want nothing to do with. A bottle lid, clothes pin, piece of paper or a cardboard box are much better for them. They will spend hours playing with these things!
My two cats are sedated with the rescue remedy this evening. One of them was scratching his ears badly, so I began treating him for ear mites last night using mineral oil. Today, the treated ear was scabbing nicely which means the mineral oil treatment helped, but I noticed scratches around his other ear too, so I treated both sides with mineral oil mixed with an essential oil (a mixture of neem, citronella, cedarwood, catnip and a few others) that I got from the alternative pet store.
As I was treating him, I looked up and the other one was scratching his ear *sigh* So both got the ear drops, and I mixed the oil into their leave-in shampoo and gave them both a bath. They are so pleased with me right now.
I realized afterwards that the smell of cintronella is probably driving them nuts, since cats are not fans of citrus smells. Oh well, they'll hopefully get over it. In the meantime, we're enjoying the smell :lol: Although, I'm not *entirely* pleased with partner since he asked, "Aw, are you going to do that tonight?" Yes tonight! Kitter is gouging his ear out, and you want me to wait?! And btw you're helping so we can both be evil overlords kthnxbai.
I have a full day tomorrow doing laundry and cleaning to make sure all the surfaces are bug-free. Poo. I am not a happy kitter mommy right now. Stop making me be all clean n stuff!
Yup. So like Charlie. And yes, sometimes it feels like I get whacked by a baseball bat.I watched every one of Simon's videos. They are so funny and true to life! Now multiply that by 5 and you have my house. It's a wonder anyone gets any sleep.
