11/07 Jackson AMPS 425, +3 357

[Dyana]

Yesterday
I am embarrased to report that Jackson stole almost my entire half of a bagel from my dinner last night. I had two bites out of it.
He was a "normal" (for him, lately) 248 at PMPS and soared to the 400s. As opposed to the night before when he went into the 400s at PMPS for no known reason..

I did offer him his treat puzzle at +2 this morning and he got all his freeze dried salmon treats out and enjoyed it. I like that Sabrina does not try to interfere with him and his puzzle (Anti-Jinx).

Sabrina is on her cat tree just staring through the sliding glass door outside.

Omg Jackson the naughty bagel bandit! I hope he comes down for you gently today. And I can’t believe Sabrina is still staring at the great outdoors

Awww, Jackson is so sneaky!!

So much for the catnip fake bagel I sent him keeping him occupied. I hope he comes down soon.

Hi Dyana, I've been a little quiet around here lately, just trying (and needing) to give my mind a bit of a rest in general. But I always think about the Forum and all of you.

We know for sure that carbs aren't good for him, but Jackson's cleverness and tactics are just too much He's absolutely hilarious and smart ! I think he's kind of hooked on those bagels by now...

I hope his numbers get better again soon, in spite of all his food adventures

Maybe you will have to hide some of those bagels

Before the "scape" event, did Sabrina use to go outside and spend time on the deck, but would she always come back inside? Have all those renovations going on around your place finally been completed?

Sneaky kitty. At least you know why he's high. He'll come back down soon enough.

The Bagel Bandit strikes again

Oh he likes the catnip bagel and lays with it in his bed. Maybe if I buttered it..

Hi Clarice. I hope you are getting all the rest you need and a bit more. I love your mindful posts.
Hopefully his cat treat puzzle will help. He has another one he's getting for Christmas.

I was trying to think of what else I could have with my dinner that could soak up the sauce or whatever. I bought some rice yesterday at Aldi's. It's so hard to find chicken flavored rice without pasta mixed in and not an "instant" already moistened rice, but Aldi's has it. I haved shopped there since the pandemic. And of course I picked up some more asiago bagels for myself.

My cats have all been leash trained for 25 years. Jackson doesn't like being on a leash and he tries to run home and pulls on the leach until he starts coughing like a dog that pulls on a leash. Jackson is afraid of not being able to run when "he needs to" I think. A few years ago, Ginger and Jackson used to sit out (loose) on the lawn in front of my condo on a big beach towel while I sat out there with them and visited with my neighbors when the weather is nice in the evenings. Twice he went wandering just as it got dark outside. The first time it took me 45 minutes to find him and I told him okay no more outisde until July. The second time he wandered off as it got dark outside and my neighbors and I search for him for 90 minutes. He's black and the darkness was black. I told him that time no more outside until next year. After Ginger passed two years ago I didn't let him out anymore. Recently, I let him out just a little bit with me standing there with him, and he'll stay with me in front of my deck for anywhere from 30 seconds to 3 minutes and then he heads to the door to be let back in. Sabrina wanted to go out too, so I cautiously let her out along with Jackson. After a couple of minutes I would say loudly "Treats!" and they would run back into the house for their treats always given right away.
The construction has been completed, but I'm still scared of letting Sabrina out. I'll probably wait until she is used to walking in her new harness and may wait to try again next spring or summer.
