Oh y'all think it was hell around here while we were gone, but our little critters were nice and well fed and well cared for and there was no havoc. Ozzo is fine. Consuelo is still hungry. Tuxedo welcomed me back with a hub. MaxGoldberg was a little standoffish, but once he calmed down he was fine, too!
That's the thing with cats - you can never quite tell if they've put an experience which might be regarded by them as unpleasant, entirely behind them. You feel they might want to teach you a lesson and are just biding their time for the proper moment.
How long does the grudge last? Dudo's last a few hours. Moose comes running when we walk in the door. We had a cat in California that would TRY to not look at us for a day. He would forget and let us pet him. Then he'd remember and get up and walk away. AND we had a parrot in Connecticut who would dramatically turn his back on us whenever we approached. You could almost hear him say Harrumph!
@Mitchell Consuelo's ended when we walked in the door and gave her a treat. Tuxedo ran to us. Ozzo squeed with delight. But MaxGoldberg stayed away fora couple of hours and meowed as though in pain.
Sleep with one eye open, dads!
ReplyDeleteAbby agrees with Deedles!!
ReplyDeleteI'd keep a close eye on tuxedo; those little kitty brains hold a grudge!
ReplyDeleteFor the next little while, always check your shoes before you put them on.
ReplyDeleteHas poor Ozzo been found yet?
ReplyDeleteAnd did your insurance company believe that three cats were responsible for all the damages???

Ozzo is fine, huh? Stockholm Syndrome? Seriously tho, you do have the cutest little critters.
