Deb,
Your story reminds me of Henry when I caught him sleeping on the couch. He has never been allowed on the furniture (he can be very dominant, and with dogs who are, they recommend not allowing them in people places). Well, I came around the corner, and Henry was sleeping nicely on the couch, as comfy as could be. I just folded my arms and stood there until he felt my presence (a few minutes... yeah, he's a GREAT watchdog). When he saw me standing there, I thought he was going to have a heart attack. He did a double take, and jumped off the couch like he was on fire. It was soooooo funny.

Beth,

I have a cat that does that double take that Henry does.  He was the most recent baby (another stray destined for a not so good end).  He was very aggressive toward the other cats, so he was told he cannot come to the second floor, so they had somewhere to hide. 

Ever so often we'll see him walking around up there very self-confidently.  When he sees one of us, he freezes and then turns and runs down the steps a top speed.  Then, pretends he was downstairs all along.

He also has a habit of wallking past another abuse-victim cat baby and slaps her as he walks by.  Sometimes, he'll look around first to see if we are watching, and if we are, runs the other direction without slapping her.  You can see his thought process.

His name is Oscar.  Some days, that's short for Oscar the Grouch, others he is Oscar WILDe.  But his original name is Oscar Meyer the Weiner.  I think all cats are narcissists and he is the poster child for narcissist cats.

Oscar Meyer the Weiner????  Now that's cute!!!!

What a brat Oscar is!!!!! Amazing. I can just see it!!!

Henry used to stand up and watch the hamster in the cage... he couldn't help himself... he was fascinated. No matter what I said, he wanted to see him. Well, I think he got too close and got a nip on the nose one day. That wisened him up a bit.

I have been spending time Googling dogs.
Am I NUTS?   
I know I want a few dog-free years when this dear one goes to the doghouse in the sky.
But I have this fascination for shiba inus. Thought I might rescue one someday.

(Shhh. Don't tell Her.)

She had an Official Grooming today and is looking gorgeous and smelling wayyyyyyy better. Her coat is really amazing in winter, must be the chow in her.

What are shiba inus?  That's the first time I've heard of that breed.

They're a "primitive dog" like a dingo.
All that means is very ancient, so the characteristics are more wild.

Not to say they're not good pets, they have lovely temperaments, but they have a natural reserve and are very powerfully loyal. They are the national dog of Japan, in the same line as the Akita, just a lot smaller.

They don't bark, they scream.

Sounds ghastly but they're wonderful. They are so intelligent looking.
They're confident without swagger.

(Maybe I actually want to BE a shiba inu. That's probably it!)

Hmmmmm a dog that screams instead of barking.  Only a very gentle soul could love a dog that does that.

My story is about TOTO the kitty. Totto belonged to very nice people who had two dogs as well. Then they got three more cats. Toto lived in the lap of luxury in a big mansion and there was lots of room for all these critters. However, the stress of additional cats was too much and Toto  developed urinary problems. He had the smallest penis the vet had ever seen. The nice parents of Toto spent thousands of dollars on him. After the last surgery costing 1500 dollars Toto started to visit my friend who had just moved into the neighbourhood. They really liked him and fed him and cuddled him. Gradually he was spending more time with them.
The man of the house likes to eat fried food so he would take bicarbonate of soda in a very tall glass ( Like a big MacDonalds cup). Toto started to really get into this and after awhile he would only drink if the glass was full, had icecubes and bicarbonate of soda.
The neighbours, the original owners of Toto finally gave up and came to the door and said that my friend could have TOTO if they promised to look after all his health problems. ..... So a year passed and no urinary tract problems.
At a party my friend mentioned to an elderly vet that Toto was her darling and how he liked water with icecubes and bicarbonate of soday. The vet was very interested and said that in the old days before there were so many drugs around that Bicarbonalte of soda was a cure for urinary tract problems in cats.
Sort of a miracle that the kitty found the right person to give him the remedy he needed.

Actually, Shiba Inus are a Japanese dog and big around here (inu means puppy/dog in Japanese).
I google dogs too. I used to go to the pet med site and look at the pictures from the people who enter the contests.

How interesting about the urinary tract infection and lucky kitty!!!!

Hey Beth,
Maybe you could stick a sleeping Shiba Inu puppy in Henry's crate for me!

What if we ended up with Shiba Bullies???? Now what would THAT look like??

Got babies on the brain cause I think I am going to have baby piggies soon!!!!!

Love, Beth

Oscar's a stitch!

 

I think some cats were corrugated cardboard barons in their previous lives.
