@Versa, I mean... there are worse habits than a cat rubbing against your legs. XD Oliver does it to me, especially when he wants attention. |
Versailles |
He's always screamed when he wants food, and I generally just ignore it. Recently he drank a TON of water at like 4 am after screeching at me for food, and then vomited on my floor. This prompted me to *get up* because I had to clean it, and I gave him a little bit of food because he was rubbing against my legs and purring. I thought he wanted comfort. ... No. He didn't. He was begging. And now he does it consistently at every meal time. |

Sketti is, however, starting a new habit that is beginning to really annoy me lol |

@DD, I think I remember you mentioning that. Did you ever talk to your vet about a hydrolyzed diet? |

I've got too much experience with animal ear infections 😫 |
Hummingbird Meadows |
@Puck, do you think his vestibular disease was caused by him being outside though? |

I let Mo out in the barn during the day while I'm working. He always hangs out around me and comes when called, and has a bell so he can't catch birds, and the other barn cats have been safe and happy in the barn for over a decade, so I never really thought anything of it, but he got super sick over the weekend and $1400 later got diagnosed with vestibular disease..... he's going to be stuck inside for a while while he recovers, and then I think after this his outdoor time will be limited to on-leash :/ |
Hummingbird Meadows |
@Glacier, yup! All the time. Oliver can go outside in his catio or roam the yard if I watch him. |

Cats should not be outdoor pets, so no... Mine never have. They've actually all been afraid of the outdoors. |
