Cats And Coupons

The sound of a cat purring has always been one of my most favorite sounds ever. There have been many times where I just snuggled with my cats over the years and listened to them purr. I believe that purring is a result of happiness. Some people also think that purring happens with nervousness, but I’ve never had a cat that did that. I’ve always wondered how purring happens. I know many people, including myself, consider it a vibration. But noone really knows exactly how it happens. I’ve had cats that purr when interacting with people, and others that seemed to purr all of the time. Does your cat purr a lot?

Getting rid of bedroom furniture new york? This might be an ad that I would place if I were my Mom and I lived closer to the city. When my parents travel I generally take care of their pets. Recently, I went to my Moms to let the dogs out. Her cat, who usually doesn’t bother with me, came and sat next to me and let me pet him for a while and was purring. This cat is funny in a number of ways, one of which being because he will usually only sleep on a bed. But, he won’t always go on my Mom’s bed if the dog is on it, so he goes into the spare bedroom and lies down there. My Mom mentioned she was thinking about getting rid of the furniture in that spare room and putting other things in there, but decided to wait a bit rather then upset the cat since he’s getting really old. My cats have always slept anywhere they wanted, including a bed, couch, chair, and the floor. I’ve never had a cat that would only sleep in one place. Where does your cat sleep?

One of my brothers used to have a cat. Once while my brother was away I noticed the cat licked some really weird things. One day I saw him licking the chair. Another day I saw him licking the bed skirt. These things were strange but they are only surfaces so I didn’t worry too much. Then I saw him licking ashes. How weird is that! He also licked clothing at times. Now if it was equestrian riding apparel that he was interested in it might almost make sense if there was a scent from a horse. But this was just regular clothing. Clothing in itself might even make sense if it had been worn and had human scent, but this was clean clothing. Does your cat lick anything odd?

Our two cats are messy eaters. They always drop food on the floor when they’re eating. I got tired of it tracking all over the place so I decided to put something under the bowl to catch the food. I used a big square plastic tray with a low lip. Now when they drop food onto the tray when they’re eating it doesn’t go all over the floor. Do your cats drop food on the floor when they eat?

Well we’re far enough into our battle with mice that we know one thing. The cats are useless. They don’t seem to smell , hear or see the mice. We’ve decided to use mousetraps in our battle to best the tiny beasties. We decided to use some reusable plastic mousetraps. They’re a bit more expensive then the wooden ones but you don’t actually have to touch the mouse when emptying the trap. If you’ve ever had a mouse problem, what kind of mousetrap did you like best and why?

Here’s an update on the mouse situation. Basically we don’t think that our cats could find any mice, not even if they had a car gps strapped to their backs. They never so much as look at the cabinets, never mind try to get in them. Maybe they play together. So we’re using mousetraps. To date we’ve caught four mice in the kitchen cabinet. They seem to be most attracted to cookies, something we discovered when we discovered the mouse problem. We had noticed all Oreo packages were getting chewed while other packages weren’t getting touched. We’ve used peanut butter as well as the cookies. I thought we’d have caught more by now, because where there’s one surely there’s more.

Recently we discovered that a mouse had been making himself/herself right at home in the cabinet over my oven. We found droppings, and lots of chewed paper from packages in the back of the cabinet. My father told me that we’d need to empty the cabinet and set traps. I let him do the emptying, being the chicken I am. He’d take something out of the cabinet, we’d check it and then he’d hand it to me and I’d put it on the table or in the garbage. After a quick glance we noticed the paper had been chewed from around the top of a bottle of olive oil. After looking more closely, we discovered a dead mouse in the bottle. He must have gone in to eat or drink and drowned. I wonder how many more there are. And why the cats didn’t know about this.

Does your cat like tuna fish? Throughout my whole life, every cat I’ve ever had came running into the kitchen when I used the can opener to open a can of tuna fish. Then they begged for tuna fish. Until Romeo. Romeo wants nothing to do with tuna fish. Not only that, he doesn’t even want anything to do with canned cat food. Do your cats like tuna fish?

My older male cat has a very strange habit. He mouths anything soft, especially blankets. At first I thought he was humping them, but he doesn’t hump. He picks up a portion of the blanket in his mouth and gets happy feet (kneading). He can do this for hours. Besides blankets he’s also gone after the occasional piece of clothing and towels. If you try to take it from him he gives you a low half meow half growl. Has your cat done anything like this? How did you handle it?

My younger cat, whom we’ve had for a year, loves to watch me shower. It’s pretty strange. When I turn on the water the cat is nowhere to be seen. Seconds after I get into the shower and close the curtain he is right there. He usually goes to one end of the shower, stands on his hind legs and looks into the shower. If cats had jobs, this would probably be fall into the category of customer service jobs. He’s quite dedicated. I thought it was just the shower that attracted hinm, perhaps the sound of the water on the curtain or something, but this past week I found that he also peeks into the tub when my youngest son is taking a bath. I’m surprised that the cat isn’t afraid of getting wet. Does you cat watch you shower or bathe?
