Human, all to human, really. I understand bulimia in a cat, yet isn't it interesting there is rarely anorexia?? They're just not that vain. (Or, not hounded by a mother to be thin.)<br /><br />I once inherited a cat which had been abandoned as a kitten at a construction site; I was her third owner. She had such food hoarding behavior, the bowl simply had to be picked up. It was a true scarcity mentality, mixed in with several other neurosis. Yet for all of it, there was a sweetness underneath.<br /><br />Dogs show separation anxiety, our pets often suffer excoriation, but we assume it must be an allergy, and pay beaucoup to the vets looking for an environmental problem, instead. I think Cesar Milan's tack is correct: so many problems with pets can be solved by using human psychology, which is to say, psychology.<br /><br />Dogs, especially, have lived with us so long, it is little wonder we (or more often, they) understand us so well.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08839236994990699117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-6267736259361167492016-06-13T18:46:22.278-07:002016-06-13T18:46:22.278-07:00Well, to just wear out the topic and my welcome......Well, to just wear out the topic and my welcome... I have never, ever seen a hairball. My cats puke up the kibble and it's just sort of wet kibble, not even especially mushy. The Vaseline puts an end to it. It's worth a try. <br /><br />Jill, the reluctant cat owner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-2922702122942244692016-06-12T18:50:35.588-07:002016-06-12T18:50:35.588-07:00These don't look like the Nit's "hair...These don't look like the Nit's "hairball yaks", Jill. She DOES do that, but the expellate looks very different - it's...well, it's a hairball. These are undigested kitty kibbles, which is why I think she's gorging to get the kibbles down her neck before the little Drachma gets after her...FDChiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10607785969510234092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-8392233338286725672016-06-12T10:56:22.832-07:002016-06-12T10:56:22.832-07:00Unsolicited advice which you probably already know...Unsolicited advice which you probably already know.... Hairballs are most often the cause of the puking up of undigested food. Try a gob of Vaseline on a front leg and paw once a week and see if it makes any difference. Works for my cats. As I said, you probably already know and do this.<br /><br />JillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-89679467853554398652016-06-08T11:24:58.930-07:002016-06-08T11:24:58.930-07:00The one lingering effect of the midnight-cat-yack,...The one lingering effect of the midnight-cat-yack, Talyssa, is that I DO tend to step VERY carefully in the morning, having stepped on a cat-mine once or twice. It's not an experience that encourages repeating. So I emerge from my scratcher on the <i>qui vive</i>, searching for the nasty emanation, determined to get it before it gets me.<br /><br />When Nitty DOES his something other than bare floor, well...gah. Clothing and shoes and whatever tend to end up in the bathtub to be washed out as I go find cleaning materials for the nearby floor.<br /><br />Meanwhile the cat is tripping me up begging for more food. That seldom amuses me, given the situation...FDChiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10607785969510234092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-66892819939798073162016-06-08T06:09:03.903-07:002016-06-08T06:09:03.903-07:00Hahaha I remember a neighbour of mines cats did th...Hahaha I remember a neighbour of mines cats did the same thing, think she got over it after a while as well, because every so often there would be a surprise "cat yack" on the carpet in her house hahaTalyssahttp://www.thehiddenthimble.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-14485408793016760552016-06-07T06:47:22.328-07:002016-06-07T06:47:22.328-07:00Both Sides Do It!!!Both Sides Do It!!!FDChiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10607785969510234092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-36827258454329939302016-06-06T21:43:31.239-07:002016-06-06T21:43:31.239-07:00I'd blame Bundy, except he's in jail.
