Why’s Andrew hanging his head in shame?
Could it be because he managed to hide from me all day, thereby avoiding medication two times?
Yes!
=(^+^)=
When I couldn’t find him in the guest bedroom, I searched the apartment, then found him in my bedroom. “Someone”, it seems, forgot to close his bedroom door, a strategic error Andy made use of! As soon as I approached him, he ran under the bed, the one spot in the apartment that is foolproof for avoiding capture.
I tried to coax Andy out throughout the day, but he won the fight to avoid me.
Round Two: more of the same. After I had a little tantrum, I said to hell with it. If Andy wanted to go blind and whatever would happen if he missed his hyperthyroidism medication, so be it. I didn’t give a damn! I took a nap. (I clearly needed one!)
When I woke up four hours later, my mood was improved, I no longer was upset with my little darling, and it was time to feed him. First, because I was on my bed and he had moved over to be next to the door, I scooted him out of my bedroom, using my foot to gently guide him out. After a game of “mousies in the kitchen cabinets”, I fed him a plate of kitty food.
My bedroom door is closed now. I hope Andy doesn’t remember there are other tough places to hide in the living room and the dining area because I am not in the mood to have another day like today!
Not easy to catch them they are clever more than us always they find a new place to hide… This is a kind of medication fight. But you are the winner at the end. Thank you, Love, nia
I’m usually pretty good at catching Andy, but he isn’t totally out of tricks!
“Medicating the Kittie” is the name of this saga.
Lots of adventures, Dolly!
Familiar story.
Those kitties don’t make it easy sometime! 🙂
How true!
I have been through this Keystone cops drill myself. You have my sympathy. And yes he is a very smart kitty!!
He continues to use that dark spot, which is great for me because he’s trapped.
I suggest a broom handle to scoot him out from under the bed. He can’t understand that the meds are for his own good!
I have a walking stick that works exactly that way when he hides there. It even works as a restraint if he just sees it.
However, if the bed is mine, the walking stick under the bed just shoos him to the other side of the bed. That makes him safe because of the size of the room and location of the door. Were I to go to that side, he’d slip out of the bedroom and hide elsewhere. While I’d eventually find and corner him, I am disabled. The chase would be more than I’d be up to. I’ve been there….
Living wit a cat asks patience and a good strategy , Doug! 🙂

How true! The little rascal is smart enough to stay a step or so ahead of me.
Oh my, better luck with future med. Hopefully an occasional miss will be okay.
An occasional miss, acceptable or not, will happen because Andy is a smart little kitty!
Oh no! At least he has the good grace to look contrite. Louis Catorze does this to me all the time and couldn’t give a hoot.
LOL! Yes, I can imagine that of Louis Catorze! On the other hand, how do I know Andy is sincere?
You don’t. But he gets points for trying, non? Catorze doesn’t even try.
Yes, points given and tactics noted for future reference!
