what are your pets doing right now?

[charlie and algernon]

Esther is behind me splayed out on her back snoring soundly :-)

[LeftyMom]

1. Vader is sleeping, Dora and Piglet are play fighting, Trin is glowering at D&P

and hissing if they get too close to whatever she has decided is her personal space.

[femmocrat]

2. I love when they sleep on their backs. So cute!

Mine are tucked in for the night in their room. They know when it's time to go to bed. They are so smart.

[charlie and algernon]

8. wow, yours have bedtimes?

Esther just sleeps intermittenly throughout the day and night.

[femmocrat]

9. More or less.

They know to go to their crates at night. They are downstairs; we are upstairs. I love them, but don't want to share the bed covers with them! :)

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Jeoffry is sleeping on my right arm.

Pixie is sleeping on the top level of the cat tree. And Milo is at the vet's with a bladder infection. :( I hope to take him home on Monday.

[TZ]

40. Uh oh. I hope Milo is okay....

But I sense more cat drama in your future.....

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

55. I think he'll be fine.

He had a blockage on Friday so I took him in, and they kept him over the weekend so they could keep a catheter in and make sure everything was OK. I think the infection wasn't cleared up from last time. Of course the problem will be when I bring him home. It took three weeks of hissing for the others to get over the last disruption. :eyes:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

67. UPDATE: Once again I have descended into Cat Hell.

A couple of hours ago I discovered that Jeoffry was apparently peeing blood. Great, another cat with a bladder infection. So I haul his fuzzy ass off to the emergency vet clinic (it being Sunday, and these things always happen on weekends). They check him over, give me a bottle of Clavamox and some other stuff, and send us home -- after another $200+ is charged to my credit card.

On arrival back home, the following dialogue occurs, of course:

PIXIE: Hiss.
JEOFFREY: Hiss.
PIXIE: Hiss.
JEOFFRY: Hiss.

And so forth. Since Milo is already at the regular vet's, at least there isn't a third cat to fan the flames. Tomorrow they will get to hiss at him.

Sigh.

[TZ]

71. oh dear

When Milo comes home Pixie isn't gonna know who to hiss at....Maybe they'll all have one big hissing match and run to their separate corners...:hug:
You know I think just NOW my cats are all the way back to normal..they've started grooming each other again, which I hadn't seen them do for a lOONG time. Cats.

[SeattleGirl]

4. My two kitties are sleeping, and my dog is laying on the

couch next to me, watching the football game with me.

[Left Is Write]

5. Dino, the cat, is curled up in the recliner. Frankie, the dog, is curled up by my feet.

[bicentennial_baby]

6. Milk is in her new house and Kitteh

is drinking from his fountain.

[charlie and algernon]

12. how's milk doing?

weren't you going to get her checked out for some problems?

[bicentennial_baby]

16. I haven't had a chance to get her in yet, but it's nothing

serious. She's doing quite well, other than kicking Kitteh's ass on a regular basis. :rofl:

[charlie and algernon]

19. well that's good

:-)

It's nice to hear milk and Kitteh are at least comfortable in the same room together. It's been almost a month since she's been here and Esther still wants nothing to do with the Chihuahua living upstairs.

[bicentennial_baby]

27. They do fine 90% of the time

They can be alone all day together and most nights. They don't cuddle quite yet, but we're getting there. :)

[erinlough]

7. Princess the cat is draped over my legs, Zoey the dog is laying .....

next to me on the footrest of the Lazyboy, and Mitzy the dog is always hot so she is laying on the wood bedroom floor.

[SacredCow]

10. Not my pets....

but they're chasing a laser pointer....

[ferrferr]

11. By pets do you mean kids? For those of us with kids and no pets. *rofl*

[leeroysphitz]

13. Fornicating. n/t

[AlCzervik]

14. Bob is in his igloo avoiding me.

the igloo is in his cage which you would think offer him enough protection from me but i guess he's taking no chances.

[NV Whino]

15. Well, of course he's avoiding you

The proper habitat is a soup can, not an igloo. What do you think he is, a polar bear?

[AlCzervik]

17. i think he loves me so much that's it's almost too much for him to be in my presence.

yeah, that's the ticket.

oh his rather large bottomed self could never fit in a soup can unless it's was one those institutional sized jobs.

[NV Whino]

21. I keep forgetting that Bob has grown

:rofl:

[hobbit709]

18. Rusty dog is in his chair

The other four are in various positions on the floor, although Jake gets on the bed for about an hour then comes back to the living room.

[Roon]

20. Daniel is sleeping on top of my monitor

Morrison is sleeping in a chair and Barney is in the kitty condo on the second level dozing.

[flvegan]

22. Well, Dharma the dane is upside down on the couch right now.

Quite undignified if you ask me. I've been yelling at the tv (Red Sox not doing so well tonight) a bit, so the dogs have given me "baseball space" thus far.

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. Jessie is still pissed off about her bath today..under the table.

Merlin is looking at me with mooneyes and warbling and Kittimus is with his mother.

[Lil Missy]

35. LOL! I just think it is so funny when pets (Jessie) do things to "get even". LOL!

On the outside, I always properly chastise the inappropriate and/or naughty behavior.

But on the inside, I always chuckle, and admire the "spirit" behind the behavior.

Pets are so honest, and basically innocent and true with their reactions. And I don't feel like I would ever want to clip the wings off a bird, so to speak.

[ScreamingMeemie]

56. ...and she is still put off this morning.

:)

But she was a walking "smells like poo" factory and it had to be done. She is upset mostly because I had to cut out a couple of yicky spots. Her eyes are always so accusatory.

[lizziegrace]

63. "The cats don't have to have to take a bath..

why do I??"

Poor, poor 'bused puppy. :(

[lizziegrace]

45. Poor Jessie...

I'll come save her. Tell her I'll protect her. ;)

[ScreamingMeemie]

57. She'd be on the next train too.

:hi: :hug:

[lizziegrace]

60. Tell her to pack her bag

there hasn't been a Sheltie in this house for too long. x(

[ScreamingMeemie]

61. We'll come visit some time, I swear.

And you are always welcome here. :loveya:

[lizziegrace]

62. Ditto

:hug:



:loveya:

[TX Screwball]

24. All 4 of our critters are asleep

Dottie the dalmation on the couch, Guinness the mutt on the floor near me, and Wendy and Graykitty on the bed. Lucky critters.

[TX Screwball]

31. The dalmation just farted.

Glad I'm upwind.

[hobbit709]

49. A friend of mine called her two "Damnations"

[charlie and algernon]

32. Welcome to DU

:hi:

[TX Screwball]

37. Thank You!

Nice friendly place you all got here. Cheers!

[dawgmom]

25. One is sleeping; the other is barking. It's a normal evening here.

Peggy Sue is curled up in the corner, snoring. Buddy is at the gate outside, barking at the idling car in the driveway across the street. The idling car/barking dog is the nightly ritual here. Teenage girl, sitting with her boyfriend in his car, saying goodnight, and not going in to the house one split second before her Midnight curfew.

[Lil Missy]

26. Mine are happy and content tonight, but yesterday, OMG, I had one very pissed off kitty!

I took all 3 pets, 1 dog, 2 cats, to the vet yesterday, which is a major nightmare in itself. I wanted my dog seen right away for a problem with his eye, and wanted a separate appointment for the cats to update their yearly physical and shots.

Vet is on vacation for the next 2 weeks, so they suggested all 3 at the same time. *groan* I reluctantly agreed, but I knew I could count on my mom to help me. I have one "special needs" cat in particular, that gets absolutely hysterical leaving the house, or meeting strangers.

He howled and wailed and cried from the minute I stuffed his furry little ass into the carrier till we got home. When they took his temp, (as in sticking a thermometer up his asshole), he went totally postal! And unfortunately, he fought so hard the tech had to do it twice to get a good reading.

From now on, I am going to insist he be sedated before an exam. It just upsets him so much. He's okay tonight, but that's after a lot of TLC and comforting since yesterday. He's been practically pasted on me since then, because he was so traumatized. I'm not going to allow him to get that traumatized again.

[charlie and algernon]

29. aw man, that sucks

They need to come up with a better way to take a cat's temperature. Esther didn't like it either, she even shed tears :cry:

If they can take a human's temperature through the ears or mouth, why not a cat?

[Lil Missy]

39. With this cat, it wouldn't matter. He was already worked into a frenzy before we got there.

Thus, why I say I'd just prefer he be sedated BEFORE an exam.

The previous vet, before he retired, used to sedate him after the fact, because of the obvious hysteria.

But I just don't think it is necessary for this cat to have to suffer trauma like that in the first place. I KNOW he is an exception, but I don't care. So what? He's happy at home, and that's all that matters.

[meow2u3]

28. Max, the giant 7-month-old kitten, is sleeping smack in the middle of my bed

Ruby, the mom cat, is sleeping on the chair in my room; Rocky, the new kitten, was sleeping on me until I got up to get something to snack on.
The dogs, Honey and Jackie Chan, are downstairs with my roomie's kids; the puppies (Cleo, Sophie, and Bruce Lee) are in the kitchen sleeping.

(edit: forgot the dogs)

[RFKHumphreyObama]

30. Playing games with my grandpa and my mother in the afterlife

[lizziegrace]

46. ...

:hug:

Are you in a position to get a pet? It would be good company for you.

[Chovexani]

33. My cat is sleeping on my feet.

I hope I don't have to pee any time soon.

[Inchworm]

34. Big one is under chair and little one buried in blankets on bed

:)

They got it made!

:hi:

[RoyGBiv]

36. Trying to bury my luggage ...

Kitteh saw me take out the carry-on bag and knew I was in the process of taking one of my trips.

He does not like.

He's sitting on it right now, occasionally pawing at it, apparently trying to figure out how to bury it.

[lizziegrace]

47. I had a cat who would sit on the suitcase

and hiss at me when I tried to open it to pack. She absolutely refused to budge.

[wartrace]

38. Lucy is sleeping on my lap, she just knocked Chairman Meow off...

...on to Larry who reacted by trying to bite him. Curly is in the hallway on his back, I ought to check on him, he looks like he is playing dead but you never know. Moe is sleeping at my feet next to Larry, Peedee is also sleeping across the room. Flea Taxi is hugging a speaker on top of the desk. Oh, Buddy is on his pillow molesting a smoked pigs knuckle.

[Bombero1956]

41. Lily is spending her first night in her new home

[TX Screwball]

44. Awwww

She is a cute T.
Cheers!

[ashling]

42. Patches is pretending to sleep

while she plots to take over the world
:rofl:

[lizziegrace]

43. Gracie and Widget have disappeared.

They're probably on the back of the sofa looking out the window.

I came to bed tonight to find that Gracie had gacked on my bed. Ick...

50. since they were up at 4am, just to make sure I got to work on time...

They are probably passed out sleeping soundly.

[charlie and algernon]

52. esther woke me up promptly at 7 am too, just in case I needed to get to work today (I don't)

then when i ignored her, she upped her efforts by licking my forehead promptly at 8 till I was definitely up.

[Jamastiene]

51. Yogi is running through the house howling

and Sunday Girl is growling and hissing at him every trip he makes by her. He even jumped from the bed, over her head (she was in the chair between the bed and the chest of drawers) onto the chest of drawers in my aunt's bedroom. Sunday followed him over her head hissing the whole way. You just saw her head fly up in the air and his from left to right as he went over her. It was funny as hell. :rofl: My cats are as crazy as I am. :crazy:

[Blue-Jay]

53. Bella's out having her morning piss.

[littlebit]

54. Eddie and Scooter are still passed out on the bed.

Beau is sleeping on the couch. Bailey is laying beside me watching tv. I don't know where Lucy is.

[pookieblue]

58. sleeping

I want to wake them up and make them suffer with me.

cats, you gotta love them. LOL

[Eurobabe]

59. Not sure, but earlier the Demon

and I had a nap in the sunshine on the back balcony. It was heavenly. :loveya:

I suspect the older fellow is upstairs on the couch with Dad.

[applegrove]

64. Monster is circleling me and Twilight is following him. They want something.

[UTUSN]

65. In and out. IN and out. IN AND OUT. Oh, did I not add that this entails

MY dropping what I'm doing to do the facilitating?!1

[Heidi]

66. "Who are you? What indulgence do you request?"

The Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger, on his new rattan throne next to the radiator.

[TrogL]

68. Fighting

The kitten has decided to take on four adult cats.

The kitten's winning.

[rbnyc]

[Zookeeper]

73. Getting really nervous because Mr. Zookeeper is watching...

It's a heck of a loud, stupid movie.
