To start off, have a really big cat and a sugar glider, in Japanese photo booth version, of course.





Funny enough I'm not actually a fan of the sugar glider, but he makes great fodder for the photo booth app. Oh and FYI, that's our cat at his healthy weight, 14 lbs. Apparently he was at 22lbs before I met Edgar :O]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10741&Focus=335583#Comment_335583 2012-07-02T09:21:00-07:00 2013-05-19T13:58:57-07:00 Foamhead http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=8779

He's two years old now and we love him dearly.

This month he's had to have an operation on his elbow and he's supposed to be taking it easy which sadly means spending about ten hours a day tied to the radiator to stop him charging around.

Sadly the list of genetic problems with the breed is pretty bad and so insurance for these breeds costs more and really must be paid.
Monster is two years old and his vet costs are already past 5,000 euros.
His breed type, known as the Victorian Bulldog, is supposedly an attempt to breed out some of the inherent problems with the old english breed- obviously not so successful in his case.
He's still recovering from his operation for elbow displacia(spelling?) and may need his other elbow done in the future, he also has bad skin allergies and requires a special diet. His facial folds require cleaning regularly and I've known of other bulldogs who have had to have facelifts costing thousands of euros to stop the folds on their foreheads damaging their eyes.

Now having said all that, please don't let that put you off considering a dog of this type, the rewards of sharing your life with a bully are well worth the extra care required. I mean who couldn't love this boy?

Does anyone here own a scaly pet? I have a very angry lizard named Harvey:



He's a blue tongued skink that I inherited from a friend who couldn't pay attention to him. Harvey has... problems. Likely, he just wasn't handled very well or often when he was a wee babe. Some of his toes were already missing when I got him and he refused to be touched or even come out of his cave.

I've done a lot to attempt to rehabilitate him - he lived in my office where my ex and I spent 90% of our lives, so he got used to humans doing human things and making human sounds and he's now social enough that he hangs out with me, watching TV, climbing around and generally being the curious sort that blueys are known to be. He comes when I call him, sleeps outside his cave at times, and seems generally OK enough with me but hates most strangers/even my roommate.

I can't for the life of me, touch him for more than a few seconds before he freaks out.

I can pick him up out of his terrarium (a friend bought him a nice front-opening one so he no longer stresses when I stick my hand in) and move him quickly into another box for cleanings. But he won't stand for being petted or being held. He bites fingers if I get too close for too long. I tried doing a daily handling regiment to get him used to it but it stresses him so badly that he once gave himself a bloody snout trying to get away, so I just stopped. Tried also teaching him to hand feed, but he lunges and most of the time just gets my fingers instead of whatever I'm offering (I feel this is on purpose, he's kind of a bastard.)

I want him to be a pet I can hang out with on my bed with my roommate, or carry around on my shoulder. Suggestions to tame the little bugger? He's an asshole, but I love him like the abusive boyfriend he is.

Escape!

The When: Last night, around 1.30am.
The Who: Treacle, a very timid, kitten-sized and (seemingly) contented house-cat ever since she first spat, hissed and clawed her way into my vestigial lump of a heart 16 years ago.
The Where: Right outside my living room window in the flat's communal back garden, which are permanently locked to keep the local scrotes out and I DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO.
The Why: Apparently just to "patrol" the area directly below the window several times, stopping occasionally to munch on some lawn, even though she has access to grass indoors.
The Result: Fifteen wasted, increasingly anxious minutes of me shout-whispering at her to come back inside, trying to tempt her by waving an opened sachet of catfood over her head and really hoping one of the local urban foxes didn't decide tonight's a good time to drop in for a visit. (In case you're wondering why I didn't clamber out after her, the main, big panel of the window opens 4-5 inches, max, which, until last night, I assumed narrow enough for her not to be able to squeeze through. Hyeah.)
The Aftermath: She eventually deigns to return, slumps down on her blanket for a couple of minutes to clean herself up after The Big Adventure and then proceeds squawk at the top of her lungs to be fed...which is why I was looking for her in the first place.



Epilogue: Woke up this morning to find a gift from Treacle, which I'm interpreting as her way of apologising for last night's shenanigans: a small, partly chewed, undigested glob of regurgitated grass. Oh, and once I'd cleaned that up and went to give them both their brekkie, she was AWOL again. Naturally, the first place I checked was the back yard and, surprise surprise, there was a petite black cat mooching around out there. Just begun to call and try to beckon her back again when a familiar, near-ultrasonic, plaintive "I'm-hungry-so-feed-me-NOW!" mewling erupted right behind me. Rightfully, the cat outside shot me a contemptuous, dirty look and carried-on with its mooching.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10741&Focus=336112#Comment_336112 2012-07-08T06:58:10-07:00 2013-05-19T13:58:58-07:00 flecky http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=8949

So we attempted to give him a bath, w/ the intent of putting some flea medication (off-the-shelf, but not Hartz; I've heard some scary stuff about their products) on him after and getting the apartment super-clean.
He hasn't had a bath since he was a tiny thing, about 5 years ago.
We're calling this a failed attempt. The fella and I got his back washed and rinsed, but that was it. And I walked away w/ this:

Klink (on the left) is a Dachshund/Jack Russel cross. He's quite elderly now, but you wouldn't know it from his energy levels - people often mistake him for a puppy.
Rudy (on the right) is a pedigree miniature Dachshund that grew too big to show (he's in between a miniature and standard in size). His name is technically something like "Etoir Mr Earl", but that's a ridiculous name for dog, so "Rudy" it is.

Cat baths:
1) wear a jacket. Preferably leather.
2) Rubber gloves may also be needed
3) If your cat isn't used to wearing a harness, I suggest this. It gives you an added area to grip.

Have one person hold the cat, and the other shampoo, then rinse the cat, being sure to avoid getting suds in the kitty's eyes/nose. Towel-dry kitty before you let kitty escape, and offer lots of treats post bath.

For our girls, I generally do it in the sink, but the neighbors have had luck using the shower with their cats; just make sure the water isn't too hot.

If all else fails, there are wipes you can use on the cat instead of getting the kitty soaked with water; not sure if there are anti-flea ones, but there probably are.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10741&Focus=336189#Comment_336189 2012-07-09T09:07:15-07:00 2013-05-19T13:58:58-07:00 Argos http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=7792

I've always washed them in the bath. I fill it with about 2 inches of water and then you can use a cup to scoop up water and pour it onto the cat. Don't use the actual shower setting as it freaks the shit out of cats and might make them literally shit themselves. I learned this the hard way when I was about 8 years old.

our cats like to play hide and seek. They run somewhere, make a search-call (It's a rather distinctive meow that means "WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?!!!", that I've heard in not only my kitties, but in lions on tv). When the other kitty comes to find the first kitty, the first kitty jumps out to surprise the second kitty, and they chase eachother about the house for a while, until it's time to trade places.

...For a while they would do this when I was trying to sleep, using my bed as part of their kitty race track. Now that they've mellowed somewhat, it seems to occur several hours earlier in the evening- around 11-midnight instead of 3am. That way they can play games, and be tired in time for bed. Or in time to argue over who gets to sleep with what human and where.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10741&Focus=336224#Comment_336224 2012-07-09T13:48:58-07:00 2013-05-19T13:58:58-07:00 Argos http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=7792
