Related: About this forumI have the strangest cat evah!
Some of you remember the post from august before last, about me rescuing a kitten at a job site. Starved, eye infections, worms, ear mites, fleas. Rode on my shoulder for two hours rubbing her face against mine. Burying her head under my chin.....I swear she knew what was going on. And was thankful.
Fast forward to today. She split up double trouble. The Beans no longer hangs out with her brother Steviewonder. He has been relegated to chill with old man Muddy (our 14 year old black kitty, and coincidentally, my favorite. Shhhhh!) The Beans and Bootsy are now the best of friends. Spend all their time together.
Here's the strange part.
I wanna give her some lovin? I literally have to chase her through the house.
Me: C'mere boots. Daddy's got some love for ya. Boots! C'mere. (Now under the couch in the greatroom) C'mere baby! (Now, out the back of the couch down the hallway.)
C'mon Boots. (Into the kitchen) Hey baby... (Under the table. Get on my knees and she splits to the rock room (spare bedroom. Elvis velvet oil painting, giant Zep Poster, Giant Bob poster, etc)) There you are! (Under chair and back to great room.)
We could do this all day.
Ya know when she wants love from her savior? The man that probably saved her life?
When I'm sitting on the toilet having a constitutional. Seriously! She'll come wandering in, all purrs, and flop down at my feet. I can pick her up and hold, squeeze, and love on her. She'll even let me kiss her little nose! As soon as i pull up the drawers? Like a bullet, she's out of there!
Weirdest cat ive ever had....

Honestly? I think I got a cat that thinks my shit don't stink!
P.S. Hope you doing well baby. Been a minute since we've chatted.

(112,666 posts)You must aggressively treat the symptoms and finish ALL of the medication; otherwise, relapses may occur.
However, you can take advantage of one of your elderly mentors for your medical needs now. My prescription is to take two and call me in the morning.

What a, weird little creature! But damn, I love her to pieces....

(11,686 posts)will not let me pick him up. If I try he runs, if I succeed in catching him he flips and flops ( claws included ) until I let him go ( which is not to long. ) He however has to be snuggled up to me, on me, getting pet by me ( bitting if I don't ), walking next to me, in front of me, and behind me.
I wish she was that affectionate..........off the toilet that is.

(20,605 posts)or something. Yep - I think that's it!!

(7,417 posts)When you chase her she runs, its hunt/hunter. When you sit still its friend time. Try sitting on the sofa for a bit and see if she will come to you.
