Jasper is on the “snub” this morning. He loves pate, and will lick the gravy off the tender cuts but leave the pieces of meat. I’m down to tender cuts (bought them because the brand was being phased out in favor of the more expensive ones) so gave him an ultimatum: if he can eat kibble, there’s no good reason to leave soft meat pieces uneaten, and that’s all he’s going to get!
Cats are known for doing their business outside of the provided (clean) litter box ONLY when trying to communicate a health problem. Mine was in the bathtub or a large planter. He had a kidney infection. Free roaming males may leave their “calling cards” unburied as a territorial mark.
I just say, Jasper, I need to get DOWN!" It might take repeating, but he understands and jumps off my lap. Sometimes he gets back into the recliner, but usually he lies on the floor or gets involved in eating or playing.
“H” a (since deceased) friend in her late 80’s greeted me at her door with, “You’ll never guess who visited me last night!” She continued in great excitement, “My mother and brother!” Then she detailed the visit. I listened, never judging her, but wondering what it meant. When I left her house, I went over to her next door friend and related the incident. The friend hurried to “H’s” and asked permission to look at her prescription bottles. She had been prescribed (by the same physician!) three drugs from different companies, that were exactly the same, and had been overdosing each time she took them!
And my last was in early January 2021, to a place I hadn’t even dreamed of visiting, Michigan’s beautiful Keweenaw Peninsula. I knew that within a few months I’d be selling my car and become dependent on others for transportation.
I learned that Jasper (originally abandoned and on his own for at least 2 years) will walk away from whatever is served if the bowl isn’t CLEAN every morning. I can see his point. Eat off the same dirty plate all day long? Yech!
There are already 2 couples, 2 children, Mee-Maw, Rose’s alter ego, critters galore, the angel/archangel…what did I miss? That’s a lot of characters to fit into the creative process.
That and English Leather literally turned my stomach! I’m an Old Spice gal!
