Here’s my cats doing what cats do best earlier today... You wouldn’t guess by looking at these pics, but the girl cat/on right doesn’t allow the boy cat/on left to touch her under any circumstances...
This is about as close as he can get and he knows it. If he touches her he gets rapid slaps and maybe even a claw across the face for breaking her rule.
They get along great otherwise... I had hoped she would’ve grown past that by now, but it’s been at least 8 months now and she still won’t allow physical touching.
I feel bad because the boy wants to play with her but she won’t allow it. I need cat whisperer Jackson Galaxy to help fix this problem. Lol.

We had 2 female cats that didn't get on for the entire 17 years they were together. The older of the 2 was half Siamese, so she wanted to be the only "child". Nothing could make them like each other. They had a habit of sitting in the hallway or on the stairs just so the other couldn't get passed.Here’s my cats doing what cats do best earlier today...

On a different tack, I was just walking my 2 dogs through the park in the new area we've just moved to, and I notice a snake slithering across our path, only about a foot long, but I wasn't taking any chances. Lucky neither of the dogs saw it.

The part I find wierd is that my 2 cats actually get along. This boy cat is the only cat that ever wandered into our yard without getting the typical hate treatment which is how he eventually became part of the family. They eat next to each other and everything.
The only thing I can think of is a minor skin condition that the boy has always had and maybe that’s the reason she won’t allow him to get too close because knowing the girl cat she’s smart enough to know it’s contagious.
I haven’t had the vet confirm it but I’m all but certain it’s ringworm. I’ve begun treatment but I gotta be consistent in order to completely eliminate it from the cat.

We have a neon light in one of our rooms, and Rocket likes to sit next it, it makes for some good lighting.

Friday was one of those character testing days and one I wish to forget. My little best friend went missing at about 8am, we searched for hours without luck. At about 5pm I was phoned to say he had been spotted, despite another two hours of driving around I had given up, taken a shower in exhaustion. Right after I got dressed someone had witnessed him being hit by a car, followed him without spooking him until he sat at front door of a house, MY HOUSE. Somehow he found his way home when he most needed help. We raced him to the vet at 7.30pm,for an after hours visit and me playing nurse. He will be ok, the only broken bones being in one of his back paws, that will be operated on Monday, thankfully saving the leg.
I am so grateful for all the help I received from three complete strangers, its so nice to see people helping people. And whilst I am still upset and fearful, I am so happy he is in safe hands.
The car that hit him didn’t stop. Frightened and stressed animals can be unpredictable and do silly things, so I don’t blame the person who hit him, but I do blame that person for NOT STOPPING and owning up to the situation. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if you hit an animal, stop. Think about how you would feel if it was your pet.
Sorry for the down beat post, it has been a pretty crap couple of days, but I just needed to vent about. Can't wait till he comes home, I'm lost without him.

Good to hear, Buster & Ziva said to say Hi. This was them on the weekend when I grabbed my hat and headphones to take them for their walk.My best friend is on the mend, he spent a week at the Vet and returned home very tired but happy. He is slowly getting his character back and enjoyed some loving pats on the back lawn yesterday.
So grateful to have him home with us again.
Dave.

Scary stuff. Glad he's doing better. When I was a kid we had a Beagle puppy and she got out of the yard and was hit by a car. Unfortunately she didn't make it.
Glad it was relatively minor injuries. Hope he heals up well with no setbacks.

He was back at the Vet today to have his bandages changed, the wound is taking longer to heal than is ideal. The biggest challenge at the moment is keeping him settled, especially at night.
Thanks everyone for the well wishes. It is a situation that all pet owners would never want to happen. This little dog is my best friend, he never judges, always loves and somehow knows my mood before I do.
keeping him setled- i had to do that with my dog when he tore a ligament in rear hip. does the vet give advise on HOW to keep a dog that wants to smell everything settled????
i dont think theyvew figgered that out yet.
this is another instance showing theres still a lot of good in the world. i read it often around here when a pet goes missing-people get out searching.
the pic when he came home i find funny-reminds me of the only time i had my little guy off leash and he disappeared for a couple hours. got home and he had a,"i dont know what all the fuss is about. this was the best day ever!"
