Dougy sneaks up on me. Next, he rubs on my legs and I stroke his back and tail while he weaves back and forth. Never fails! It’s our morning ritual.
Andy sneaks up from the side and roosts on the recliner back. He wants to know if I’m going to give him kitty medicine, so his trust level is low!
Once he’s decided he can trust me, it’s over to the recliner arm closer to me so I can rub his head and ears. Purr, purr, purr! (Then I give him his kitty medicine. LOL!)
“Darn, foiled again!” Andy says.
Most timers, he gets away first! We both have lots of practice being sneaky. I think we must be four years into this kitty medicine routine. I’ll have to look for sure.
Heel leuk ochtend ritueel
Het kost ons allemaal een beetje tijd om te functioneren, natuurlijk!
That last sentence…
Tricking him into complacency is my specialty!
Very nice lol
You have a couple of very good kitties, but I did find the last line funny, too! 🙂
It’s pathetic that poor Andy can’t trust me. It goes back to kittenhood when he and his brother had diarrhea and got several poop baths., He fought it more than Dougy.
I thought you were done with kitty medicine. Is this still for his eye?
Dougy was the eye drop kitty. Andy gets medicine for high blood pressure, though it’s had to imagine why a cat would have high blood pressure. (Apparently it is common enough. It needs to be controlled for the sake of their eyesight, kidneys, and vascular health, though.)
Andy is a bit too trusting Doug, your a trickster! 😎😻
I count on it, though he always acts a little “goosey”, even when I’m just reaching down to him to pet him or give him kitty treats. Poor little guy!
That’s too bad that you always have to be the bad guy with that medicine.
I agree. Poor Andy always acts like I’m about to hurt him when I approach him, even when it’s to pet or give him kitty treats. It goes back to kittenhood when he and Dougy had diarrhea and the two got lots of poop baths. Andy took it personally. Dougy just fought it while in the bath, but got over it soon after.
We have to catch Floki today or tomorrow and put him in a carrier to get his nails trimmed because he wont let us do it. Once we do that, it will take a long time before he will let us get close again.
I just had an Andy moment. Barely got away from me while he was standing on the walker, where the next dose of medicine was. Trust is lost again for the time being, and catching him should be a challenge!
Best wishes on catching FlokIi! My kitty boys’ nails are pigmented black the entire length, and I am hesitant to try to trim them…~!
It’s too bad you have to be the bad guy everyday.
I agree. Twice a day at that. Funny, though. As long as he’s on the recliner, a box in the dining area, or a few other spots around the place, he feels safe and is be very pleased to be next to me. He’s been on the recliner arm next to me, for example, for over 90 minutes. He even watched a documentary with me! I don’t think he found it very interesting, but he toughed it out.
🙂
the last sentence made me laugh… amazing!!!!
Good! Andy probably would hiss if he read it, but I have to be sneaky to get that n=medicine down his throat!
