Woohoo, we're coming down. Mama wants to see blue.

I can't believe sometimes, the people who think cats don't have personalities. I used to be one of them. When Checkers was a baby, I would go to DD's house, where he & sibling, were being cared for...and totally ignore the kittens. I thought they were just 'things', like a wild critter outside.
When I took them for a 'week', I was flabbergasted, at how funny they were. I didn't want to go to sleep at night, cuz I'd miss something.
So this morning, Himself ate a bit, then waited for something 'good', like yesterday...Sorry Checks, you aint about to pass out today with those numbers.
He sat on the table, and waited and watched me......until I took a spoon, to give Clancy some of his breffis, and he flew off the table to get his breffis away from Clancy! :lol:
So, who doesn't have personality????

I've had Clancy for three years, rescued from the streets. He still covers his food. Today, he wrapped it with 3 corners of a cloth it was on. There! If no one can see it, they can't eat it. That seems so sad to me.

Keep coming down Checkers, but nice and slow today. Mr. Liver is calming down quite a bit.

Tess used to grab a mouthful of food and run off, drop it on the floor and then eat. She was w/ a hoarder who had "rescued' 50 other cats. She's been trying to cover her food lately too, but i think now she just wants to bury it and be done with it!

Hi Barb, yay for Checkers coming down. Checkers has a really cool personality. Mags and Checkers are keeping company today in the yellows. Maybe you can get out and about, too! Oh that is really something with Clancy covering his food. He's saving it for later and also hiding from others. Maggie was part of a feral crowd. When I first brought her inside, she used to gather all these little furry mice every night and place then in a neat pile in the center of the living room and chat away. They all have such unique personalities.

Hope Checkers comes down for you today and gives Rupie a shout out (although not too loud, methinks he has a wicked hangover from last nights PJ Party at Zener's!)......

and yes, how can people say they don't have personalities! We have five kitties in the house and each one is completely and utterly different and full of character!

same with the horses too!
 
Re: 10/19 Checkers amps 284 +2/337 +3/253

Its crazy how our kitties got their starts in life, but if i had a choice to come back as a cat i'd definitely go home with anyone of us on LL, these kitties have got it soooo good :-D And i agree that each kitty has their own purrsonality, cute story on Checkers this morning trying to steal food from Clancy.

I hope Checks comes down for you today.

Have a great day Barb and Checkers.

Barb, you are so right .. these cat's have the craziest personalities .. Unless you are a "true" cat lover, I don't think you really see it .. my parents have a cat, and that's what he is .. a cat .. they feed it and take it to the vet, etc, but they don't crack up at him like we do with our girls, or you with checkers ..

I think it's sad clancy still covers his food .. but I know he knows you will always take care of him .. some habits are just hard to break!

Come on down Checkers! It is so true on their personalities. Our fur kids each have their own quirks and are like little kids. Most of the time it cracks me up. Of course, like kids, there are times they make me want to scream. That is very sad with Clancy. But you gave him a furever home and he is a happy kitty. Have a great night Barb!
 
Re: 10/19 Checkers pmps 385

Susan (DD) took her fat cat to vet today, and had a long and productive talk about diabetic cats, and weight.
Hers is not diabetic.
I have decided to stop being so intent on stuffing food into Checkers, because it's not putting weight on him; it's only upsetting me.
He has no meat on his hips, and it hurts my heart so, to see him bony.
He will never get that muscle back. I have to accept that, and fix what I can. Accept what I can't fix. Very hard. :YMSIGH:
 
Re: 10/19 Checkers pmps 385

Hi Barb,
Yes, I think we all have to learn to accept and not obsess.
Clancy is one lucky kitty to have landed with you. We rescued Alice (GA) from the street, too. She was so happy to have a home (she was not feral, she had been thrown away), but for as long as she lived, if we were not going to be home and left food out for her, she would wait until we got home to eat it.

Checkers went up again, I see. Tomorrow maybe he'll finish with this bounce!

Have a good evening with your kitties,

Hugs,

Ella & Rusty

Hi Barb and Checkers.
these cats play teeter/totter with us!! @-) up, down, up, down.
I sympathize with how you feel. It's like an emotional roller coaster and we'd all like to get off the darn thing. But I know that Checkers is doing his very best for you and wouldn't want you to be discouraged.
Hang in there woman, you are the VERY BEST MOM CHECKERS COULD HAVE!!!!
XOXO

Re: 10/19 Checkers pmps 385

I didn't mean to imply that I found Clancy in the streets.
He was homeless, and was being fed outdoors by kind people.

He was injured severely by a dog, so the people took him to SPCA, and he was all sewn up, around his head and neck. He lost his eye in the process.
He is the most happy, loving kitty I've ever known.
 
Re: 10/19 Checkers pmps 385

I hope you see some better numbers for Checkers tomorrow. It's great how each cat has it's own unique personality. I think only certain people are lucky enough to notice this though.
 
Oh my gosh, your Clancy is so lucky to have you as his Momma! :YMHUG: His story reminded me of our civvieZack who lived on the street at the beginning of his life, and to this day he is pretty much terrified of me unless I am lying down. Then he thinks I`m the best thing ever. Must have met with unkind shoes? I just say to him ''You GOOFBALL, it's me, the same person as when I lying down!!! :lol:

Thank so much for coming to help us out this morning :razz: It makes a difference to have someone to talk it out with... :-D
