That’s a lot of belly fur on display … but is it a trap 🪤 or a plea 🙏 for snuggles

For our front deck I didn’t want a top enclosure so we went with the purrfect fence . The company was absolutely fabulous to deal with ! Quick shipping and helpful with install questions.

Our cats are little escape artist and certainly tried to escape but so far so good.

This is pretty tame for him. He often sits at the bottom or the top of the soars and talks very loudly. Not early in the morning or because he wants food. So,times it feels like he is calling his sister but generally it’s just a lot of noise and he doesn’t seem to be in any discomfort. It’s gotten a lot worse in the last 2-3 weeks. He also seems unhappy and quite vocal about wanting to get back in the garage and its beloved cement floors -apparently excellent for rolling. We had to shut them out of the garage after his sister ate a quarter of an exercise mat over a few days…yikes, who knew that they get obsessed with chewing on rubber

Anyway- how to best deal with this vocal aspects, I know for sure this clip here is him wanting to go for a walk in the garden, which we will do shortly, but what about the general yelling at the top or bottom of the stairs. Do I give it attention or ignore it ?it’s gotten to the point where it interferes with my work as I work from home and you can hear him on my conference calls

Ah, nothing like waking up at 7am to the cat scratching at the hardwood floor …always a dead giveaway for an errand poop …but this morning it wasn’t just a little flung poo. It was full poop-ageddon.

Into the shower, poop everywhere, no one’s happy but we endure….looks clean get ready for towel…what more poop how….back to washing ….good ? Nope are you still pooping?…oh dear lord….

Finally we both had enough stress, so released …bolts to the catio, follow along and sure enough more poop stuck in his fur. At this point I know he can’t take another shower, so we cut out the last pieces and let him finish clean up on his own.

He is 10 month, this was his first diarrhea in many many month, like at least 4-5month. He does have a sensitive digestion system and we did cause him some issues early on by trying to vary their wet food, but he gets the same food now all the time , and he didn’t eat anything bad. I read that hairballs can also cause diarrhea and he did puke earlier in the week after eating some grass but no hairs ball just a lot of liquid. He seems otherwise fine eats with a healthy appetite drinks lots of water and chases his sister , so I hope it’s just an irritation of his intestines and what is causing it will make its way out soon.

I sure hope this is the end of the weekend poop wars …

Cat tax includes wet cat in catio, after the wash thee was no way I could get a blow dryer even close to him. I turned in the fireplace so he could warm and dry next to it, but he chose the catio. And the dry little prince in his full simba mode ….love him to bits, but dang his poopy butt….his sister (knock on wood) has the stomach of a trash panda and never had diarrhea once..

I think I just needed to vent to those that understand… 😮‍💨..and I hope he will love me again in 24h

We did not know that we for fun started trowing their freeze dried shrimp would turn into their favourite hunting game and here we are - they don’t even want their treats if they don’t have to chase them .. sigh .. also all other toys are now a bit blah

At least we figured out proper hunting directions so they don’t end up under the couch as we definitely do not want to have any stray shrimp 🙈
