Ace of Spades Pet Thread

(Reminds me of our youngest)

Good afternoon and welcome to the almost world famous Ace of Spades Pet Thread. Another jammed pack thread this weekend. Kick back and enjoy the world of animals.

A Little of This. A Little of That.

Cats and science, who knew that they liked sitting inside squares?

Have you bonded with your dog? Have you really bonded?

This Afternoon's Feel Good Story of The Day.

Meet The PetMorons

MisHum, thanks as usual for the pet thread.
I've attached a picture of my "3" bulldogs--Mr. Apri, Sarge, and Tank. If you can pixellate out Mr. April's face, you can use that one.
The other two are of Wu, the kitten I rescued last July. I was sitting on a bench outside of my office, when this tiny black ball of fur darted out from under a car, and made a kamikaze run toward the building. She threw herself at the door, bounced off, picked herself up, and made a run for the next one. Well. I wasn't having that. I herded her into a corner and took her inside, where she hid behind my printer until it was time to go home. The gals in the office said she looked like a bat, and we named her Wuhan, because we are terrible people. We just call her Wu.
When I got her home, I took her into the bathroom with me so the dogs wouldn't eat her. She disappeared in about two seconds. Turns out, the person who "remodeled" the bathroom left a giant gaping hole under the sink vanity. She had gotten down there under the floorboards and wouldn't come out. I was terrified that she would die down there.
Mr. April suggested finding video or audio of a mother cat, and that was pure genius. I found a YouTube video of a mama cat purring to her kittens, and sat on the floor playing it until she came out. It was heartbreakingly pitiful. I'd play the video, Wu would cry and come out from under the sink, and dart back under when I reached for her. It took half an hour or so while I shoved towels into the hole behind her every time she ventured out, until she couldn't get back into the hole.
Almost a year later, she now terrorizes the dogs and runs the household. We love her. - April

Quite the family you have there April. So that little cutie kitteh runs the home? It sounds like those doggehs are big softies. Thanks for sharing with us.

Zuko has been featured twice before but we recently took him to the beach for the first time. Turns out hes quite the beach dog and loves sunrise walks on the sand. Thanks, Roger

The Pet Thread is always happy to see repeat stars such as Zuko. I really like that you have him on a long leash. Its been my experience over the years that owners do not have control of their pets on the beach. Which leads to bad experiences.

This is my grand dog, Roscoe, last Christmas. He’s a French bulldog and has grown a bit since this picture. Nothing slows him down. AlmostYuman

So just how many "T-R-E-A-T-S" were you holding to get Roscoe to pose so perfectly? Lovely photo. We appreciate your contribution today. And I'm sure our pal Conor will approve.

MisHum,
Pics of my Siberian cat Chekov just after his shearing, so everyone can point and laugh. His mats had gotten out of control and he would not let me brush or comb him, and several were in spots where it would be tough to cut them out. So off he went to the groomer. He looks like a white-and-black Chihuahua in these pics. I've been making jokes about Capillus for Kitties, Bosley, and the Hair Club for Cats ever since. Miss Linda says that my big black cat Wolf should also get shaved in solidarity with Chekov. My answer: "Solidarity was a political movement in Poland in 1980. Nothing to do with cats." - Wolfus Aurelius

OK, shaved cats are a rarity. That must have been a chore? Did you bath him as well? If so that must have been one interesting adventure. Thanks for sharing with us.

Hello MisHum, attached is an obit, and a few pics of our dog Reece. Many Thanks, Dandor the Realanator
We helped our little Reese go to her heavenly home today....I believe we will see our beloved pets in heaven. After all, we know there are horses there. She is a quiet loving little dog. She is sweet natured and content. But that is who she became. She became very old and left her old self somewhere behind....all but her nose!

She was brought home to be a fun energetic dog for our young son. Wow, what an understatement. She learned that running after balls was the best thing in the world, to be constantly & incessantly pursued. Hide the ball, inside the house, in the drawer, on top of the frig, in the bedroom, utility room, whatever....her nose could find it. She would sit in front of where you hid it, without her being anywhere around to see and she would smell it and know it was there. When we said no, we were obviously lying or so she implied!

When the balls finally all disappeared, she found rocks! Seriously! Take a rock she would bring you to throw, throw it into the woods, she would go in the woods & bring back the EXACT rock. No, really. Tried, tested and true. She could smell them I guess, because even in these last quieter years, her nose never stopped.

The nose knows....did you just put a piece of chocolate in your mouth? Is that an egg you are frying? What are you cooking on the stove now? I know you have something you are snacking on.....She could smell it.

What an exasperating, loving, fun, energetic, softest fur coat in the world wonderful dog she has been. Oh my goodness....she is missed.

So sorry to hear of your loss. It is amazing how such small creatures can be the biggest parts of our lives. Our condolences on your loss.

Hello Again MisHum,
Here is a picture of our sole remaining pet in front of the Christmas tree. Her name is Bella and she is about 7 years old. We rescued her from a mental halfway house. She hid for two years before she got up the nerve to jump on my lap late one night. She has turned into a very territorial cat and has attacked, nay, ambushed the feral cats we have been feeding. It’s apparent that we will not be able to domesticate any while Bella stalks the abode. Best Regards, “Beartooth”

I know why Bella doesn't want any other critters around. Look at that Christmas Spread there at the Casa Beartooth. That kitteh is living in paradise. We appreciate your contribution today.

This is our newest addition, Harley a 10 year old terrier mix. He's a chunky monkey and he's very lovable but is having a hard time adjusting. We put him on some meds to help calm him down a bit. He has no health issues so we hope to get him adopted soon! - Jewells

Another wonderful rescue story Jewells. Hopefully ~~the chunky monkey~~ Harley starts mellowing out soon. Thanks again for all you do in the rescue world.

Get those cats some spinning gear and take them walleye fishing. There is moar to northern MN then snoozing on the porch. But until then, Enjoy! Thanks for the email and photo.

Once again the Horde comes through with PetMoron stars. Thank you! The In-box was full again this week and we will get to all of the pets soon.

If you have something you wish to share you can reach us here at petmorons at gmail dot com.

God willing and the creeks don't rise we will be back next Saturday. Have a great week!

6 My aunt died a couple days ago (lung cancer) which was sad, but at least we knew it was coming. The problem is her two kitty cats who are super sensitive, delicate, shy creatures who were already freaking out at her health decline. I fear we cannot take them into or house, they would die within a week from the strange location and Dexter, our cat being around. He's super friendly but they were REALLY spoiled.

Her will says to send them to Friends of Felines, but I dunno, its an adoption agency for cats but I am not sure what to do

15 Today kid 1 took my older grandson and their Keeshond, Zorro to visit his family and be assessed by another breeder as well. Seems the runt of the litter grew into the largest doggo and was deemed a very good show prospect. He had a happy reunion with his brothers and little nieces.

16 The pic up top makes me think about my Paisley. She is very opionated but she's been oddly quiet today.

18 The study on Mutual Gazing was interesting, even if I disagree with some of the premises. Two of my GSDs (our youngster we have now, and our recently departed one) could win staring contests with their "pack" members. Our current one will stare you in the eye like he's trying to burn holes in your skull. Kinda creepy, actually. It's not a challenge or aggressiveness, though... he's perfectly relaxed and happy when he's doing it.

19 All beautiful pets as always. I just love seeing all the pictures!

Happened to have a shift at Shep's today. Harley has calmed down but he still hates being in the kennel so I spent quite a bit of time with him outside. Now that Viola has been adopted (praise God) we can start integrating the dogs more. She's very jealous of the other females so that made it difficult. She goes to her furever home on Tuesday. We are very happy for her. And us. lol!

36 Pixy ate my first comment. I'll try this one.
I put a Seresto flea collar on the kitten a few weeks ago. She struggled with fleas even over the winter and this collar was advertised as safe for kittens. Recently I noticed that she was spending all her time sleeping and not eating well. She didn't get up for dinner yesterday when I called her...had to go wake her up. Last night she walked across the floor and seemed to wobble. Alarm bells went off. Nothing was different but the collar, so I started researching it. Turns out many people report similar symptoms (and worse). The collar got stripped off right now and five minutes later she was chasing a ball around the great room.
She's a different kitten today...feisty and busy...all over the house and yard. Lesson learned.

42 Nice to see the pets again.

My collie Star is doing poorly, she has back issues and usually needs help standing up. Her list of medication is daunting and expensive. We were going to Tampa this weekend, but cancelled because she didn't do very well at the kennel last weekend.

Doing our best to keep her comfortable and happy for the time she has left, but we have made peace with the fact that she will be our last pet. We can no longer take the heartbreak.

We had the same problem with our cat. When we bought the collar at the pet store they said it was not on of those knock off brands from someplace else. but it still made no difference. It took us a while to figure out what was wrong and even after the collar was taken off we had to take the cat to the vet it was twitching so badly. Cat doing fine now.

60 Hey, all,

MisHum wrote under my pic of the newly-shaved Chekov: "haved cats are a rarity. That must have been a chore? Did you bath him as well? If so that must have been one interesting adventure."

I can't recall if they bathed him at the groomer's. No way I was going to try that myself. Apparently they didn't need to tranquilize him -- he was intimidated by the strangers, I guess. The vets have all told me "what a good cat he is." (Ha.) That was about 6 weeks ago, and his fur has grown in to the point where he looks like a shorthair now, except that the first few inches of his "lion tail" hasn't begun to get thick-furred yet.

I had the late Maine Coon mix Arizona shaved too, for the same reasons, late in his life. His coat had recovered before he departed this life about 6 months later. So I suspect Chekov still has a way to go.

Wolf, I'm sure, would be more than glad that he hasn't had to go through that.

75 The pic of the two cats at each end of the porch seat is beautifully framed. It's almost as if cats know how good looking they are, and make a point of posing. When I was a teen, Mom bought some light blue sheets for her bed. Our red tabby Rusty would jump up there and stretch out, orange and white against blue -- which he never did with white sheets. Cats are color-blind, I think, or can see only a couple of shades? But somehow he knew where he was shown to best advantage.

81 Big black Wolf cat surprised me earlier. Years ago Marie-Antoinette, the smart black cat, used to slide under the covers with me when I took a nap -- warm weather or cold, it didn't matter, but only in the daytime -- stretch out by me, and sleep until I got up. I've been hoping Wolf would do the same. He's occasionally gone under the covers, but never stayed more than a moment. Today he curled up next to me and stayed for nearly 5 minutes. It's a start.

85 It took us a while to figure out what was wrong and even after the collar was taken off we had to take the cat to the vet it was twitching so badly. Cat doing fine now.

***
The Hartz Mountain topical stuff did the same to the Siberian cat Angelique. We washed her off in the sink and she was fine. True, for the rest of her life she would climb in your lap, then growl if you moved an inch. She wouldn't leave, understand, just growl, like "Don't you dare move --!" But she was not nerve-damaged or poisoned as far as we could tell, and lived to be about 11. Lesson: Don't use Hartz Mountain topical flea treatment.

Hope all is well w/ Paisley.

We have the opposite problem. Kahlua, 5 yo choc lab, is devoted to Jules and lives to chase the orange ball. She's now getting obsessed and barking to go out and play way too much. A rolled up paper or magazine pounded on the furniture used to shut her up but doesn't help much now.I'm thinking of getting a squirt gun and trying that, what store carries squirt guns, no toy stores here?

Any other ideas? We've used a no-bark collar on another dog before but that is last resort.

Don't worry, they never actually catch a cat, but sometimes catch a bloody nose.

Bruno is shedding like mad. Great gobs of dog fur had filled the shop upon my return from being gone for a day.

Great looking bunch of pets as usual, and a fuzzy Moron too!

Our dogs think that even when they are getting exactly the same thing. Cat food though, is a delicacy. Maybe it smells like cats.
