Gyroscopic Investing

My cats are indoor too. I will defend my little fluffballs to the death!

I honestly think it looks quite evil and unsettling. I'll leave you with this:

Each daily picture of Lily never cease to amaze me!

Look who's spying on me while I study!

Ha, Lily.

WiseOne, everybody- do your cats behave when you have to remove their eye gunk? For the first time, ours has a serious case of it, and we need to get it out so she doesn't get an infection. But she is so resistant. She becomes one violent muscle, with claws.

My cats used to hate any form of grooming, so I feel you on that one! Thank heavens they're more tolerant now that they're older.

Try distracting her with a treat? Get her munching on it then swipe at her eye in those few seconds. Next to try, if you sit behind the cat (to block escape) and hold her firmly on the back of the neck/upper shoulders, she will howl and complain but generally won't move. If that fails, put the kitty in a towel burrito (there are youtube videos to show you how), have one person hold the kitty, and the other one do the work.

Thanks! I was just reading something that recommended a towel on the head. I really need that shemagh.

Same here for my three. Reason why I've not trimmed their nails for too many months.

Back on topic!

A few moments ago just as I was going to be doing my maximum weight Bench Presses (using uncollared weights) one of my cats decided to jump on my chest!

Vinny

Adding a little weight ;-)

Not in that particular exercise. One of the other cats attempts to help out on the pushups by getting on my back. In that case it does add weight to that exercise!

Do you ever try to hold still so she doesn’t bolt? When my cat chooses to be in my lap, it’s can be for up to an hour, but sometimes just five minutes. I stop moving, and as a result, I feel like I lose all blood circulation by the time she jumps off. Probably not a healthy lifestyle.

Yup! I feel like I can't move otherwise I'll lose the kitten love, which of course would be unacceptable haha.

CATCEPTION.
