Bad Kitty!
Just great, well I guess venting here is better then venting on the cat. Otis, has really been testing my patients the last couple of weeks. I have never had trouble with him my biggest trouble was Otis having a lot of hairballs and sometimes choking on them and me having to stick my figure down his throat and get it out for him. No big deal more scary then anything. I have had to deal with him getting sneeze attacks which looks like he not breathing good something he does that, it because he has allergies. Not to worry as long as I don’t expose him to anything
Otis was trained not to claw on things he aught not like the couch and the bed or the rug. He normally a good kitty. I got married 2 years ago in August and Otis was well starting to be difficult. Nothing real bad so I just figure he was trying his limits. Why not, now I have two owners, and I gotta see where my new pa will be. Is he going to let me get away with murder or will I get told No, or get down. Just the typical cat testing thing.
Last week I found some runny poop in my closet I figure okay cat got something and got sick. So I didn’t punish him, I was worried more then anything. We changed his cat litter, I used to change it ever 3 to 6 weeks before I got married now we are about ever 6 weeks. So maybe I shouldn’t feel annoyed. I had a pail of clothes in the closet where he had his accident and then a pail on the side wall that was dirty that I was able to wash the last time I did laundry. So I started going through the clothes so I could wash them, and get some clean close. Tomorrow we have a church picnic, so I won’t be able to do it tomorrow, so I figured today after church would be okay.
All the sudden I smelled some very bad stuff and poop fall onto my foot. I am not talking the runny of sorry I just couldn’t help myself, I am talking the solid stuff. Stuff he could have put into his cat litter very easily. Well, I reacted. At first I wasn’t going to do anything but then it was like. If I don’t take him over, and show him tell him No, Bad will he be there the next time he gets mad at me or my husband. Now I don’t believe rubbing his nose would have been right so I did not do that, I figure showing him is all that is needed. If he was a kid I think I would make him clean it up.
I just don’t get why Otis is being so difficult. He has woke me up through out the night and not because I was breathing bad, but because he felt like running away and playing. Okay I can handle that a couple of times but not every night. This morning he was wanting my attention fine, I can give attention that is easy enough. I like cuddling with him. I don’t mind he sometimes thinks my hair is a toy. Shoot I don’t mind he wanted his little rat with him next to me. I don’t mind he wants to clean it till it needs help or replacing. But I do mind being woke up several times a night, and I do mind finding poop in my stuff expecially since he never behaved like this before. I just don’t get it.
I love my cat and sometimes I do tend to spoil him and give him a lot of leeway but maybe I been giving him way to much and he saw it as a weakness. Maybe it’s his way of showing he’s not happy that he know has to share attention with me, but why almost 2 years of marriage would he seem to be getting worst. I have had him for over 10 years and never once until recently has he went potty where he out not to.
Otis is a good cat but right now he just testing limits, like a kid. Looks like I will have to do a good cleaning of the bedroom, so that I can find any other places he decided it be good idea.
Wouldn’t it be great if places like Outer Banks rentals would let you take your pets on vacation, grant it right now I want to leave Otis at home.
