okay, weird kitty alert...

[WMliberal]

My cat James is recovering from a bad fight he got into a few weeks ago (he snuck out when I was bringing groceries in the house). Every time one of our cats have recovered from s major injury, they develop a personality quirk.

James has decided to start obsessing over this one old Barbie doll my sister has. She calls it Leukemia Barbie, because she cut all of its hair off when she was 6. James calls for it, rubs on it, licks it, bites it and sleeps on it.

Anyone else have kitties get weird traits after injuries?

1. heheheheheheh

I am chuckling at this, only cos my Beans developed a crush on my Donnie Osmond doll after I had her fixed. She sleeps with her 'arm' draped over him, nuzzles up to him, etc. Nothing dirty, though.


And why, you may ask, do I have a Donnie doll? It's a throwback from my Barbie collection when I was a young'un. My roomie & I have several outfits for him. He travels with people, and is known to appear in the strangest of places. The other day, I opened the washing machine, and he was waiting for me. . . Amazing!

2. Cats shouldn't be outside. I've done both and my "inside " cats lived

about 10years longer than my "outside" going cats.

5. we've never had trouble in the past 20 years

Until last year, when someone down the street got a cat and didn't have it neutered. Now everyone else on the street has had to take their cat to the vet at least once.
Until that thing gets snipped, our kitties are indoor kitties.

3. My cat, Andy, developed a thing for a wall in my kitchen -

honest! We'd look away, give him his privacy. Thankfully, it was short-lived. No word on who broke up with whom, or why.

4. I was just telling my husband the other day ever since we had

something removed from Bugsy's cheek and left her at the vet for most of a day and took her home, she thinks NOW she is a human alarm clock. Without fail every morning she sits in the hall and meows, pretty much until one of us responds. (Between 5:30 and 6;30 - we are retired)

Food bowl is full, water dish full...I wish she'd let us sleep in. She never did this before. 7 year Grey Persian (pug nose little snooty thing)...I love her.

6. oh, ours STOPPED being one with this incident.

He used to start at about 4:30. Now he sleeps through the night.

7. This is one advantage of a 2-story house

Kitties are downstairs, and we are upstairs sleeping. I can hear them meow when I come down to get something from the kitchen, but by the by, unless there is an electrical storm, kitties know they have to stay in..it beats outside, garage, and they have nice beds in their room.

10. Bad fight, or

11. Let us know when he starts humping it.

Hope admin doesn't consider this a "sex" thread.
