Morning. ~O) ambg 115 ( ate 2 hours ago)

Shadow continues to be mysterious.
We really only get 4 p's now.... playing is rare.
Since my last post, I tried taking off the protective pad from our bed since I know it can cause static electricity to see if that made a difference for Shadow but she still
isn't hanging out on the bed any more. I managed to get about one hour total this past week. She doesn't really want to come to her food on my nightstand.... she'll not eat during the night
so occasionally I take it to her on her rug in the middle of the night.
I even found her under the bed on Tuesday and she hasn't done that in a long while.
She just sleeps on her bathmat instead every night so last night I grabbed my pillow to go lay down with her instead and she moved over to another mat so I followed her over there
and she attacked my arm. ( couple of good scratches :? )
So I left and went to living room and she followed me ( a little later) and hung out .
She did let me hold her and purred and enjoyed ear and chin scritches.
And I tried to take her to bed , got to scratch her chin for another minute or two and she got up and left and went to her rug.

She also doesn't do her "usual" thing of following me around the house. ( being my shadow)
but she often just hangs out in her tower by the open window during summers.

I just wait for some clue to figure out what's going on inside that body.
Shadow's last condo 6/10


ot: my dd wants to get married next July (2014). She will be 18.5 by then. He'd be 20.5.
I think they are kinda young and sheltered but it's not really my decision. I've got numerous examples of couples around me who married early like that.
 
Oh poor Shadow, I hope she comes around soon. I only now 1 couple that is still together going on there 35 anniversary.They have been threw a lot to and have 6 kids and she had a stoke a few years ago, ad they all live in the same house. close family.
Well hope shadow started following you again and letting you love her. cat_pet_icon

Thinking about you and Shadow. It is so hard when they act different. ((((Rhiannon))))

I am one of those examples. We got married 24 years ago. He was 18 and I was 20 and we are still going strong!
 
Hi Rhiannon. Sorry to read that Shadow is acting normal. Do you think he's just reacting to getting less attention since he's OTJ? While getting insulin he was probably the center of attention and getting lovin' and at-a-boys quite frequently. I've noticed whenever PF gives us a big number allowing us to go 5+ ours between test he will come to us about ever 2 hours for attention. Just a thought. Hope it's just a new norm for him. We'll keep Shadow in our Prayers.

It's hard to offer advice on DD. DW and I got married a month after her 19th birthday; I was 19-1/2. That was 45 years ago in August. My daughter got married when she was 20. The only suggestion I have to offer is to set them both down and have a very open conversation. OPEN is the operative word. They might just go through the motions. Unfortunately at her age there isn't much you can do.

Have a great day Rhiannon.
 
I hope Shadow starts spending more time with you. It's hard when they act different and we can't figure out why. Sending prayers for you and Shadow.
 
Hope you can figure out why Shadow is "different." It is so hard when we know something is not right, but we cannot find out why!

I was married at 19 y/o, DH was 21. That was 38 years ago. I would not recommend it nowadays, but they will be adults in the eyes of the law! Hope that you like and approve of him :-D
 
Awww Rhiannon.....it's so hard when kitty starts acting different, and you don't know why. I thought at first she just liked the bath mat. Could it be, she just got into a different routine and nothing is wrong? How about taking the bathmat into your bed with you....or have you already done that?
I know, that's not all she's doing differently. I hope she gives you a clue soon, Rhiannon.
 
I know it's not a lack of attention for Shadow... she gets lots of it from me.


I always disliked mysteries....
especially without clues..... :roll:



and we do like the young man.
this is the one that wanted to be a vet but now he's leaning towards bio-chemistry. He really likes chemistry. He's my cat sitter for Shadow if she were to need insulin again....
he can give shots.... :smile:

I will like him As long as they don't move far away.... :evil:
 
((Rhiannon))
Kitties are too good at keeping us beans in the dark sometimes.
I hope Shadow gets back to her normal Shadow-self asap.

Sending "mystery solving vines" your way...I know how hard it is when something feels off with our babies, but we don't quite know what it is...
 
{{{ Rhiannon }}}
I am so sorry to hear Shadow isn't back to her normal self yet, and you are so worried...
It's so hard when they act differently and don't hang out with you as much as they did before, and you can't figure out what it is they don't like.
Lucy had a phase like that for a while about a couple of years ago.
It was so worried and heart broken ....
I hope you will find a clue and solve the mystery soon...
 
Ah, the mysteries of our furry babies. I'm wondering if the heat is impacting her sleeping. I know my GAs Baxter and Simon were much more cuddly in the winter and as the summer heat came on they slept elsewhere. Fur Ball has been sleeping less with us as well. Plus she may be picking up on all your stress. I hope its something as simple as this. But know you are definitely attentive to her needs and if she is ill in some way, you will find out. :smile:

Hi Rhiannon, I understand your frustration. Shasta goes through moods where she kind of wants nothing to do with me...like right now. Saying prayers for Shadow that she starts feeling like her old self and stops snubbing her mamabean. As for your DD, I'm glad you guys like the young man. But I understand your "concern" for the marrying young. I watch too many of my students get married right out of high school (or get pregnant w/o the marriage) and sometimes it works...sometimes...not. Will say a few prayers for a good decision! ;-) Give Shadow scritches from me and Shasta.
