- Thanks for all of the suggestions for getting my cat out from under the bed.
- Actually, as long as she doesn't think I'm going to take her anywhere, if I sit
- on the floor next to the bed, she will come out, as she did last nite, and I
- was able to successfully take her to the vets!
- My one problem is that this cat is totally laid back! I live in a condo which
- has three stories, and she can be sleeping upstairs under the bed and I can
- come in with groceries, whatever, make all kinds of noise, and she doesn't bat
- an eye! If I were to rattle cat treats, I would have to rattle it upstairs in
- front of her eyes, I think! When she has been sleeping all day, she is totally
- zonked! Nothing stirs her!
- The vet said she was the best kitty he had seen in a long time when he went to
- take the stitches out; she didn't utter a peep, just got all wide-eyed!
- I am so proud of her!
- I want to get a little friend for her now, and was thinking about the Humane
- Society, but after reading all the horror stories, I am not so sure! I am FOR
- declawing (please, no flames), and they probably would think me a monster, but
- I would also want the new kitty declawed as well. They would be strictly
- indoor cats, and Chelsea would always get her claws caught in something, not to
- mention she was clawing my new drapes. There is not anything I would not do
- for her, I love her so much, and I would hope the Humane Society would be able
- to see this in my behavior, whether I declaw or not. I am hoping a little
- buddy will perk her up some, she seems so lazy! Well, at least until time for
- me to go to bed, then she likes to play "attack the feet under the bed" and
- play with her fur mousie!
- This morning she jumped on my stomach at 5:30 AM, and I was sound asleep, not
- having to get up til 7:30. She wanted her head scratched! Needless to say, I
- am tired today!
- Thanks for listening, all...
- I enjoy reading everyone's stories!
