The Lizard

September 28, 2015 by pussycats3

Romeo made himself comfortable on the windowsill behind my display screen. It’s one of his favorite places, especially when no one else is there!

All of a sudden, I noticed a lizard (very popular in South Florida), moving around on the window screen. Grabbed my handy-dandy camera, and took a few. I was wondering if Romeo would notice the lizard. It was running all over, having a ball.

Romeo finally woke up and took notice. But before he could follow it and have some fun, it ran out of sight. Something like that squirrel Romeo missed a few weeks ago, when he was on the patio.

How Am I Supposed To Do Any Work Here?

My cats, Patches, Rusty and Romeo, love to keep me company when I’m in the office, working on my computer. All work has to stop when all three decide to keep me company at the same time.

I Thought I’d Never See This

I happened into the bedroom one day last week after shopping, and after seeing Romeo and Patches together, I grabbed my camera. Patches and Romeo are kind of out of sorts with each other usually, and Patches tries to avoid Romeo whenever she can.

These photos are proof that animals are always surprising you. Will wonders never cease?

Update on Separation Anxiety

October 8, 2014 by pussycats3

It’s been about two weeks now, that I have been able to get decent sleep again (see “Separation Anxiety“). Here’s what I had to do:

The first thing I tried was to put Rusty into the guest bathroom which is at the front of the house (my bedroom is at the back). With doors closed to both rooms, I couldn’t hear his crying and scratching on that door. I felt very bad about his suffering and crying, but I HAD TO GET SOME SLEEP.

Then, little by little, I put him into the room with Patches and Romeo for (hopefully) the night; however, Rusty would start to cry and wake me up midway through. So, for a few hours, I put him into his carrier in the guest bathroom, so he would be safe and wouldn’t scratch on the door. I’m sure he didn’t like being in his carrier. And, as the nights passed by, he started to get the idea that he had to stay in the room with the others and be quiet.

Rusty is a smart little guy and he got the message, and, a couple of weeks ago, there is no more crying and Mom is able to get a night’s sleep again. 😀

I have decided, if I have to be gone from home overnight again, the three of them are going to the boarding facility attached to the animal hospital! I figure that way, there won’t be any more disruption in their schedule at home with a pet sitter trying to care for them in the way in which they are accustomed.
