My sister's cat

[City Slicker]

I have been on a bit of an 'enforced' rest period and just getting back to full throttle again. In the meantime, my sister had to go out of town for work. I am looking after her cat.

She dropped him off on Friday. All was well. He was even playing with Hank for a while - Hank was wonderful with him and he with Hank.

I have a great book I am into and my new routine is getting into bed a bit early and Hank tucks in his bed by the window in my room.

I was at a great spot in my book as I got ready for bed looking forward to a few really great chapters.

I pulled back the covers and climbed in. I was into the first chapter before I realized the cat peed my bed.

Cats have quite a bit to say about life eh. Talk about 'pissed off'.

(I am just back from the vet where I took him just to make sure he isn't blocked up and he was fine - now he's really mad at me - flicking his tail and hissing) but he's letting me cuddle him so that's a good sign - I think he's just making his point that I am never to take him to the vet ever again...)

Cats do that when they are unsettled... and in a sense marked you as the problem.... sorry.... that will teach him to do that, a vet visit it is then.... he'll settle down.... I hope... good to hear from you... give Hank kisses for me.... and hugs to you and the cat...

Thanks @ladee
He's settled a bit now - he took treats from me and then rubbed his head in my hand and let me hold his head for a bit.

But I did tell him that I would take good care of him and if he peed somewhere he wasn't supposed to I was going to take it seriously and get him to the vet asap again and that I make no such promises to not take him lol.

I will give him (Boxer) and Hank kisses and hugs - hugs to you as well.

New cats often don't like to pee in another cat's litter box or in any place they think isn't safe. Maybe the cat just got desperate?

I suspect most cats suffer from PTSD :)

I love love love cats.... have had them all my life... a houseful at times.. when I had to put my 24yr old cat Diva down, I thought I was going to cry myself into a coma...then rescued Chica dog, who is now called Hero dog in my diary.... she is such a smart girl, wasn't as abused as Hank, but had to do a lot of work with her.... but I want a cat or two or three.... tell Boxer that the 'vet threat' is real !!!!!

Would love to know what Hank is thinking... I knew he would be a sweetie with the cat... such an awesome boy he is.. I wrote that where Hero dog couldn't see it... not up for emotional melt down from the dog tonight...:sneaky::sneaky:

She is a tad 'needy', and I am used to cats... cats don't need nothin' but food and a place to sleep, and/or pee....

Hope Boxer learned his lesson and leaves Aunt City Slickers bed alone, or, or. or.......

Lots of hugs and kisses to you all, I miss you and Hank reports... hope you are feeling better and happy to be up and around again... think of you often !!!

If either of you haven't seen Simon's Cat you should check it out. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCH6vXjt-BA7QHl0KnfL-7RQ . Whenever I watch the videos I think about getting a cat again :)

I love Simons Cat @Deadman. I have emojies of him on messenger.

 

[City Slicker]

in any place they think isn't safe.

Thanks @Deadman - He might have thought Hank could somehow get to his box. There are no other cats here but he might have been worried or concerned about my dog Hank being near his box especially if he was having some 'regularity' problems from the new routine.

I miss you and Hank reports... hope you are feeling better and happy to be up and around again... think of you often !!!

Thank you so much @ladee - I am getting back to my routine now after the injury and I will also be sending another Hank update shortly! Sending you huge cyber hugs!

If either of you haven't seen Simon's Cat

What a treat! I wasn't familiar with the videos - so perfect now that I am sharing space with a feline. What a creature he is. Thanks for passing that on @Deadman -
