And the sneezes aren't cute and dainty, they are robust and productive. Also she misses the litter box, she tries, but misses. I wish there was a home where all these old problematic cats could go live happily.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-21416087424558468612011-06-24T16:35:47.652-07:002011-06-24T16:35:47.652-07:00I fixed that, Anon.

She drools when happy, and refuses to poop in the litterbox.

For example, I was taught as a child that a cat learns to hunt from its mother and won't hunt if taken away too early, but that is demonstrably false. No one taught Frowst or Henry how to hunt, but there are birds, newts, mice, and rats who can all attest that they figured it out on their own. <br /><br />Even kittens I bottlefed showed hunting, grooming, litterbox-using, etc... normal behaviors. <br /><br />Al is truly a freak.the Drunken Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14606104534453493304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-52013779987435227052011-06-22T11:06:51.628-07:002011-06-22T11:06:51.628-07:00Welcome back-

Repeated interventions have failed to address the problem. Rather than focus on this annoyance, I should be grateful that human toilets typically remain stationary which prevents a much bigger (and smellier) problem from occurring.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-50648226082093213442011-06-22T10:16:59.580-07:002011-06-22T10:16:59.580-07:00We had a cat like that, but, um, without the hair ...We had a cat like that, but, um, without the hair issues. She was so affectionate, but clueless about personal grooming. She used to dive into her food and there would be crusts of wet food all over her nose all the time. Every now and when we'd take a warm washcloth and try to free her of most of the crusties, but it was a hopeless business.<br /><br />I wonder if it's a reflection of them being taken away from their mothers too soon. It leaves them needy and without the "teaching" that I think that mothers impart on their young. Of course, you'd know with your fostering of kittens. Do the ones who are taken away from their mothers at a too young age miss and who miss "cat 101" from their mothers tends to be cluesless about being, well, cats?Claire M.
