10:10 - Saturday, Aug. 27, 2005 im beginning to think the cat is DEAF!! he dont respond to his name, i generally call him "cat" and for the most part just ignores me. yesterday, i had to go move the futon to vaccumm, and cat was as usual sitting under the futon. so i went to lift it to move it, and he was in the way where i needed to put it down. so i sez, ok cat cmon, look out!!! and he just sat there, face to the wall, not moving!! aggg!! after a few minutes of this, i had to literally move him myself!! and i just dont like it that he spends all or the majority of the day under the futon!! i just dont know what to do about it. he seems to know when its time for me to go to bed, as then he comes and jumps up on the bed and stays there while i sleep. then when his bowl is empty he nudges me awake or howls! that howling, its frightening! cat dont care for catnip. i got him a scratchy post yesterday that supposedly has catnip in it, but he just looked at it and went under the bed. also i got him a collar with a bell on it, and a leash. so i put the leash on him, and took him outside to check out the nice grassy area we have, and dontcha know it, he ran like hell back inside!!! he just dont like the outside world!! also, i got him some cat milk, which is lactose free, but it looks grey, not like milk at all. and he seemed to enjoy that! he still wants to go into the closet with the water heater, and the drain pipe. i keep it closed, and just dont want him in there. the one day i forgot to close it, when we came back from the vet, he made a beeline for the closet and wedged hisself in between the wall and water heater, and i dont like that at all!! he can possibly get stuck there and its HOT!!! it was all i could do to get him outta there!! the only time he comes out and about for any length of time is at night. i know, i know, give him time. i am, maybe im a lil impatient. i dont know if hes sad, or what? do cats get depressed?? or maybe im just depressed. i dunno. he dont play, just mopes around. he eats good, i make sure of that. and i put water in his food. and i worry about him when im not in the house. i just dont want him to croak on me. and i cant wait til 5 pm when i can get home. i wanna try to get him to cmon outside, i guess that i will have to be real slow about. he needs fresh air!!! i just do not understand why he is so scared of being outside!! its not like there is raging traffic about!! we have a nice courtyard where he can roll around in nice grass. i thought cats are supposed to LIKE grass!! well, anyway, i just dont know what else to do. any suggestions?? blogthings!!!
CAT OF THE DAY
