Stomatitis and the Dumped Kitty - Nic graduates 2/10

[rubygirl1968]

Oh, good! I know Tank started going after squeaky the past week and I had started letting one out at a time so he didn’t succeed in running squeaky off.

I know it’s animal nature but I’d get so aggravated when he did that. I didn’t do anything but scold him but I’d go get squeaky and bring him in so he didn’t get hurt.

@BatCoach

His favorite method of winning battles for prime nap spots is just to sit on or lean against Wheatabix. Wheatabix then passive aggressively licks Milo against the grain until he gets frustrated and leaves Sometimes it devolved into a snap and swat, but honestly someone needs to take Sherriff Wheatabix down a peg.

The passive aggressive licking is funny.
But he’s a naughty boy picking on your old lady cat. Glad you found a way for all to live in peace. Squeaky and tank had to stay in the back bedroom when they were inside.

Snickers is not a fan of sharing. Anything. I tried several times but eventually squeaky hated her as much as she hated him.

The feline mind-meld might be at work. As soon as I opened this thread Nic started early on his 6:00pm zoomies. VERY glad to hear sweet old Uncle Mi is doing so well.

[BatCoach]

Milo and Nic are bonded in their toothless powers LOL!

[BrownDerby]

Nic has started to comprehend food security. He’s down from 4 cans of Friskies a day to three. Demands a noon feeding like clockwork.

[BatCoach]

Deep in his sweet little heart, he wants to be a chonky boy. I’m glad he has slowed down a tad!

[BrownDerby]

Stopping in to give an update that only true cat lovers would understand. Nic puked yesterday. First time ever. So, you know how when your cat is going to gack a good one and they run as fast as they can to make sure it lands on the designated puking site on your bed? Or right in the middle of the stairs or some such landing site? Nic ran to his favorite litter box and puked there. I kid you not!

[trubandloki]

What a good boy Nic is!

Hope he is feeling OK.

[2DogsFarm]

EXCELLENT Choice, Nic!
Sure beats wondering where the barf is so you don’t step in it

@BatCoach I LOL every time I read Wheatabix’ name!
& Now he’s hes got an elected office too?

[BrownDerby]

Oh he’s fine. My penalty for not giving him the demanded beauty salon session with his brush.

[trubandloki]

How dare you make him groom himself.

[shiloh]

Aw, poor buddy! Bless his heart for making it easy to clean up. Now, if he could only talk I would have him come to speak to mine who choose the most inopportune places to puke ever. The middle of the bed, the middle of the sofa, the pillow next to my head…yay…

He must have ran for his office unopposed since Sheriff Wheatabix has decades of corruption to his name.

1. Sheriff Bix has misappropriated public resources. He regularly eats food that is not his and scarfs n’ barfs just so one one else can eat the food.
2. Sheriff Bix is remiss in his duty and takes unauthorized vacations. He is our cat who has consistently ‘broken out’ of each house we have lived in. He just does it once, for like 2 days he takes himself on a walkabout and scares the crap out of us. He returns flea-covered and repentant until we move to a new place and he gets the wanderlust again.
3. Sheriff Bix is hard to work with and does not respect authority. He’s the only cat I have heard of who has been un-invited to return to the vet. He’s not a fun one to handle and his rage knows no bounds.
4. Sheriff Bix also has some self-destructive habits. Instead of whiskey and cigars, its trying to eat plastic bags, or that curly Christmas ribbon.(He really should know better at the age of 15).
5. Sheriff Bix has a disproportionate sense of justice. He thinks any time the can opener is operational it MUST be to open a can of tuna for him. Then gets very miffed if you had the unmitigated gall to open a can of beans or soup instead of tuna. You are a deviant trickster who must be punished by urinating on a personal item. He has a 100% success rate in picking the correct item to pee on depending on the perpetrator of tuna can fraud.
6. Sheriff Bix engages in discriminatory police practices while operating outside his jurisdiction: Wheata will set up a stake-out of public, shared property such as a food bowl or liter box and chase away law abiding citizens at his whim.
7. Sheriff Bix loves the sound of his own voice. He must sing the song of his people louder than any other. He’s really just a blow-hard.
8. Sheriff Bix is a species-est. He hates dogs. All of them. For no good reason. He will violently attack any canine who enters his jurisdiction.

So really, he is a tyrant who is undeserving of the badge. Perhaps Boss Hogg is a more fitting archetype.

[BatCoach]

wow that is a first! What an awesome boy he is. Mine seem to think that my couch and bed are excellent vomit spots. I’m just happy if they make it to the hardwood floor instead of the carpet!

[2DogsFarm]

Here’s how I see Sheriff Wheata:

[BatCoach]

OMG this is hilarious! I must get him a cat-size white cowboy hat so he can wear it sideways.

[2DogsFarm]

Do you think you can teach him the Sidestep?

If you haven’t seen the Best Little Whorehouse in Texas movie (Burt Reynolds, Dolly Parton, Jim Nabors, Dom Deluise & Charles Durning < the Gov) it’s fun.
My other fave scene {drool} is the Aggie locker room dance.
Which makes me a cougar

[BatCoach]

Ok I’ve gotta see this movie! It looks like camp and schlocky fun.

No side-stepping for Wheatabix, his monthly solensia injections help with arthritis, but his renal issues, diabetes, and hyperthyroidism have slowed him down a bunch. He has an appointment Monday for another senior bloodwork panel which he is not excited about. He’s been feeling pretty punky all week so hopefully we find out what is out of whack in that body of his. The vet is honestly impressed that he’s has held up as well as he has. He’s a corrupt sheriff, but he’s a stubborn fighter.

I get it… I had one that would go to the litterbox when he threw up. None of the rest learned that from him.

[BrownDerby]

For Thanksgiving. Nic and his Torti girtlfriend.
