yesterday

Miou was in a great mood yesterday. She is a very social kitty and likes to be admired, so when I have visitors she manages to be the center of attention and loves it.

After the visitors left at night, she tried her stunt of inapropriate urination at the usual spot
... but this time I cought her right in the middle of the action, and sternly told her "not there". She stoped imidiatelly and run staight to her box out in the balcony, for the rest of the pee. I made sure to praise her for being in the box.
Knowing she had been a bad girl, she tried all the tricks in the book to show she was sorry, and she has quite an irresistable repertoire consisting of tricks like "look at me I am so cute blinking at you", "come rub my belly", "belly streching to the left and to the right" "head rubbing on mommy" "sit and lift one front paw" and many more.
Of course I could not resist for more that a couple of minutes and as we cuddled I explained that mommy would be a lot less stressed if she stoped peeing in front of the door.

Later when I poked her ear for the pm+2 test she was all purring and sweet. But when I tried to get a +11 this morning she got really upset and kept turning her ears and her head.
I always pet her when trying to poke her ears and this time I went on petting to calm her down, but she thought I was still trying to poke her ear and started getting more irritated so I left her alone.
An hour later when I called her for the AMPS test she came but was grοwling. Τhis time I put her between my knees to do the test and fed her immidiatelly after it
... she was still pissed at me even after she ate and didn't let me pet her.
I am not sure but I have the impression that she gets more pissed when I try to poke her right ear, and usually is ok with the left
I didn't test for a +2 and Miou seems to have forgoten her bad mood ... actually she woke up as I was writting this post and did the "come rub my belly" trick...
I don't know what to do... get a test or leave her alone for now?
 
Re: 09/15 Miou AMPS=84 - resisting ear poking again

FWIW, I test only one ear with Gabby. For many cats, one ear tends to bleed better than the other. Given what Miou's SS looks like, you're not going to be poking for all that much longer. If she tolerates ear pokes better on one ear, poke that ear!

Hi Elsa,
Wow on Miou's SS :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Very impressive!
I used to be able to poke both of Hoots ears but he has decided he no longer wants the left ear poked which is fine with me. It's easier to poke the right ear.
He also will not sit still for his pokes so I swaddle him in a big towel and he absolutely loves it. It calms him instantly :smile: ECID!
Good luck with the pokes and have a great day!

I thought of trying to test her a few minutes ago. So I opened the little plastic container to get a test strip...
As soon as the popping sound of opening the container was heard Miou disappeared under a low table in the hallway, faster than a lightning bcatrun_gif
Ok! I got the message ... I didn't even got a strip out. If I am going to push a test I will leave it for the PMPS.

For the rest of the day we both had a quiet Sunday and I finally remembered to upload a picture for Miou's profile :-D

counting down for 2 more cycles before OTJ trial... nailbite_smile

She is so cute!!
Elsa,
Do you give her treats before and after her tests? That is the only reason Hoot lets me do it.
He hates the poke and makes a little noise that sounds like he says "Ouch" every time.
But he is always very forgiving because he knows he will be getting his FD chicken treat...EVERY TIME!!
Good luck ;-)

Hi Elsa! What a great looking spreadsheet Miou has! Won't be long before you'll be on trial....hope you have a good lawyer :lol:

China's left ear is her bleeder...when I try for the right I get a fight, so it's just easier on everyone to keep doing the left ear. I know cats can be "right pawed" or "left pawed"...I wonder if it has anything to do with which ear is better for poking? Might be an interesting thing to try.

Have a great pokeless day!

Right on the spot Marje... a little devil who knows that is adorable ;)

Yeap! she gets her meals right after poking ... or some food anyway.

But it seems Miou is not going to help me. I went straight to the left ear for the PMPS test and she was growling even before I touched her.
Of course I had to put her between my knees, as she hates the towel trick more. So maybe she got stressed and her BG was 104, not saying it's a bad number, but could be a stress indicator.
Yeah and then she waited an hour or so and peed in front of the hallway door... I really am in despair! I am sick of mopping pee! I have tried all the tricks :cry:
The night before yesterday I had to mop 2 puddles... If only I could solve this problem it would be great.
Doctor says it's phychological, and ruled out URI. I think he is right as the puddles are always at the same place!!!
I have tried all the tricks, positive reinforcement when she uses the litter-box, washing the floor with chlorine, peroxide based solution, enzyme cleaner, special cat repellent, vinegar etc.... NOTHING stops her!
The doctor had suggested some antidepressant pills (something like porzac I guess), if nothing else works. I didn't want to go there, but either Miou or I will take those pills in the end. Or maybe both of us!

Thank you! That made me laugh and I really needed it! :smile:
 
Come on Miou. One more day of shots, and then .. :mrgreen: You're doing so good. Help your mom, please.
