Happy Caturday!

So my appointment with the doctor for bloodwork yesterday was a complete waste of time (no bloodwork done). Then I remembered I was taking Estroven a few months ago and stopped because I wasn't sure it was doing anything. Well, after the last week I had I think I'm going to get back on it and see...

Shooter is doing fine. Nothing new there. Cats have quite a memory. I didn't think so before but now I think it's that they just chose to do whatever regardless of us thinking they remember or not. Like my Pepper cat, my grandma had him the first half of his life and gave him squirts of whip cream. When I got him he drove me NUTS every time I opened the fridge because he would cry and jump on my leg and want it. He didn't have any for years and I thought he forgot about it but one day I had bought a can of whip cream for a pie and he went crazy wanting it. Now he has to have a squirt of whip cream every morning during his breakfast. Ugh! Now I'm gonna have to break this habit AGAIN! (and never buy whip cream again). lol

Such a funny story about Pepper! They’re so smart!

I agree with you about them never forgetting…. My son was in high school when we got Ivy as a baby. She loved him. He adored her. They got along great.
Then he went off to college and lived away for four years. Of course he came home every break in the semesters and parts of the summer when he wasn’t doing some program away from home.
When he came home she was angry at him and treated him differently. She wouldn’t allow him to pet her or pick her up. She became aggressive toward him. Hisses, will scratch or bite if he comes too close.

When he moved back home after he graduated, it was as though he’s a complete stranger and she wants nothing to do with him. She still won’t let him touch her.

It’s so tragic because he just loves her and wants to be able to help in her care etc. Bur she won’t allow it. So he has to keep his distance.
All this to say I think she never forgave him for going off to school. It’s as if she holds a grudge and just won’t forgive him.
So… they have a very long memory. (My son has been home longer than he lived away, and still she’s not forgiven him)

I hope you feel better Heather. Hope the medication will help if you restart it again.
Have a happy weekend

Oh she’s a little stinker isn’t she? I think he should call her Grudgey. Lol
