Fun Stuff > CHATTER
We love our pets!

I went to feed and water a neighbour's cat who (the cat, this is, not the neighbour) I was told was very shy around people he doesn't know. Since he doesn't know me, I was expecting to have him hide under the sofa or something. Nope. Almost as soon I walk in the door, he's on the arm of a chair, trilling at me. I bend down to tickle him behind the ears, and he jumps onto my shoulder, drapes himself around my neck and starts headbutting me and wiping his nose in my ear (ew). Shy, yes?
Oh, and he also jumps onto the counter top to try to eat the food as I tip it out of the packet into his bowl, the greedy oik.

Probably lonely! Cats love company, no matter how much they pretend to disdain it. Paige is most vocal when I walk in after being out for a few hours, and all she wants is some fuss.
nekowafer:
Definitely try putting some catnip on Paige's scratching post, and maybe pick her up and run her paws down it, just to show her what it is.
Barmymoo:
I shall try that - but by coincidence, yesterday she suddenly started scratching the corrugated cardboard! So that is good.
Welu:
The piggies have had a couple bouts of aggression towards each other in the last couple weeks. I'm worried I'll have to separate them because neutering doesn't change their behaviour but I barely had room for the first cage, nevermind a second, plus the expense of buying double the bedding and stuff for them. Each time it's been during or just after floor time and lasted over an hour. They haven't outright battled but there's a lot of chasing and squealing. One has been chattering their teeth and I've heard a few pained squeals but not seen why they've happened. When I've checked them I don't see any bite marks. I'm hoping I'm worrying too much because I know some squabbling is normal but listening to them upset stresses me out. I'm concerned that they might do each other damage.
Edit: Tonight I tried cleaning their cage after they started and that seemed to calm them down. Dunno if it's messing with the scents or distracts them or just timing coincidence but as long as they are hopefully content right now.
