I passed out on the couch last night and didn't get up till very, very late. Blue was sleeping in Kasha's bed - he started this yesterday, don't know why, but he's sleeping in her bed and she's not thrilled about that. Nor am I. But what can I do? She was sleeping in my bed so I went and lay down with her till it was time to get up. She got up for breakfast and grazed on some FF. Before I left for tbp this AM, I was tearing apart tiny pieces of rotisserie chicken for Kasha and I felt something touch my calf... I looked down and saw nothing - just assumed it was a thread from my skirt or something, making me imagine things. Then I felt it again and looked down (now I thought it was a spider or something!) and saw the very tip of a little lion tail gently swish by my leg... Kasha knew I was getting chicken ready for her and she was at my side like a magnet. Those of you who experience this everyday with your kitties may not realize how huge a deal it is when the kitty who wouldn't eat on her own for weeks is actually waiting underfoot for some chicken!!!
I think she's feeling a bit off - the cerenia injection should still be helping, but she didn't eat as much chicken as usual. However, it's there for her to nibble on and there is another spoonful in the timed feeder for later (that was one was frozen).
Kasha story: Kasha used to be really aggressive. We would play fight all the time and she'd get really into attacking. For a while, if we were upstairs in the bedroom of the old apartment, she would attack and attack until I jumped on the bed and then she'd leave me alone. It was almost scary how aggressive she'd get... Then one day, she cornered me and I jumped to the safety of the bed. Except, this time she came after me - with that wild look in her eye... stalking me across the bed... LOL! That's when I decided we needed a "safe word" - or, in her case, a safe gesture to signal the play was over. Eventually, when I would touch her nose and say "easy" or something, she would know we were done playing.
Later, we had a house guest for quite a while (and more than once) - a crazy friend of the ex-BF, who would play aggressively with Kasha until she was tired out (and that took a LOT of playing at that time). I think he eventually just wore most of the aggressiveness out of her, because the last time he visited and started to play with her, she started trying to avoid him so he'd leave her alone!
That said - she hissed at the vet tech yesterday when she tried to reach into Kasha's carrier to remove a bandage on her leg (I later removed it when we got home) and today she hissed at Blue when he tried to crowd her out of her bed. I like when she's feisty.
