Random moments on Caturday
Things are going well at home. My little cat is growing up and entering his teenage years. I know this because heâs now sleeping like a normal cat. Before, he never rested â heâd spend day and night hunting and playing with other cats that came round to visit, and I never saw him sleeping. He was so hyperactive that he didnât sleep at all, to the point where I was getting a bit worried about it.
Now he greets me in the mornings; when I get up, heâs at the bedroom door alongside his canine brother, and they accompany me to the bathroom, then follow me whilst I brush my teeth, always right behind me, until I serve them both their breakfast and they wander off for a while (the two of them, always so nosy) đ . Afterwards, HermosĂș, my cat, goes off to hunt or climb the big tree in the garden, where he takes a nap; he sleeps there most afternoons on his makeshift bed â an orange rag draped over the dining room chairs.
HermosĂș needs a better bed
He looks so cute lying on his rag that sometimes I pop in and take photos of him. He curls up with his two paws together as if he were praying đ€Ł. He likes his hiding spot under the table because he plays with the tablecloth, pulling it or dragging it towards him.
Iâm about to get him a box to be his new bed; Iâm sure heâll like it. I hope so, and that heâll stop bothering his brother, because on several occasions when I get up at night, I get annoyed because the cat kicks the dog out of his bed â I find Duke curled up, shivering in a corner, and HermosĂș stretched out lengthwise on the dogâs bed. That annoys me, but it also makes me laugh. đ€šđĄđ.
My dog is already a senior, and my cat teases him a lot; I donât think itâs good for the dogâs health that heâs having his bed taken away, but itâs something I donât know how to sort out. When I see that happening, I tell them both off â Duke for letting his bed be taken away, and HermosĂș for being a bully and using things that arenât his.
During the day, he takes advantage of the fact that my mum isnât watching and flops down on the sofa.
HermosĂș sleeps so peacefully that I, as his human mum, have worried for no reason. He lets his head hang over the edge of the sofa, heh, heh, heh (he looks like part of the sofa), and I used to worry that his head might atrophy, but I looked it up on Google and it says itâs normal â cats who sleep with their heads hanging over the edge do so because they feel so relaxed and safe in their home. They wonât hurt themselves, and itâs a good sign.
Watching TV
Sometimes when Iâm watching a film, my cat never misses a chance to join me and curl up on top of me. He used to do it on my chest, but heâs got too big and heavy now; he doesnât feel comfortable on my chest himself and prefers to squeeze in between my legs. He likes films just as much as I do â heâs inherited this hobby from his mum. đ€Ł
Taking the opportunity to play with Duke
Ever since HermosĂș came home, heâs seen Duke as a playmate â or rather, heâs seen Duke as the perfect toy, which he uses to tease him and then run off.
My dog is traumatised because the cat teases him so much; he bites his paws, tries to scratch him and never comes near him to show any affection. Thatâs why the dog keeps his distance or doesnât want him to touch him.
Iâd like them to get on better, to be affectionate with each other and sleep together, just like my previous pets who slept together and loved each other â they were also a dog and a cat â but I realise that they each have their own personality and it seems this pair arenât going to get on.
Sometimes, when the dog is asleep, tired or distracted by scratching himself, the cat takes the opportunity to put a little paw on Dukeâs body. I know he wants to get close without hurting him, but as soon as the dog realises, he moves away, because heâs already wary of the cat. đđ„Č. I try to put them together so they can cuddle, but the dog runs off.
Anyway, HermosĂș is still a puppy; perhaps as he matures a bit more, his behaviour will change and the dog will accept him. Thatâs my latest update â thanks for reading and for your support. đ
Momentos random de mi gato đ±
Amigos de esta comunidad tiempo sin saludarles y sin desearles un Feliz Cartuday, espero que todos sus gatitos se encuentren bien haciendo tremenduras y cosas de gatos.
Momentos radĂłm en caturday
En mi hogar las cosas van bien, mi gatito estĂĄ madurando y entrando en la adolescencia, lo sĂ© porque ahora si estĂĄ durmiendo como un gato normal, antes no descansaba pasaba el dĂa y la noche cazando, jugando con otros gatos que venĂan a casa a visitarlo y nunca lo veĂa durmiendo, era tan hiperactivo que no dormĂa hasta el punto de ponerme un poco preocupada por eso.
Ahora me recibe en las mañanas, cuando me levanto estĂĄ en la puerta de la habitaciĂłn junto a su hermano canino y me acompañan hasta el baño, luego a cepillarme siempre detrĂĄs de mĂ hasta que les sirvo a ambos su desayuno y se alejan por un rato (par de interesados) đ . DespuĂ©s HermosĂș mi gato se va a cazar o a trepar el ĂĄrbol grande del patio y allĂ se echa una siesta, duerme y en la mayorĂa de las tardes y lo hace en su camita improvisada que es un trapo naraja en las sillas del comedor.
HermosĂș necesita una mejor cama
Se ve tan lindo acostado en su trapo, que a veces me asomo y le tomo fotos. Ăl adopta una posiciĂłn con sus dos patas juntas como si estuviera rezando đ€Ł a Ă©l le gusta su escondite debajo de la mesa porque se pone a jugar con el mantel y lo tira o arrastra hacia Ă©l.
Estoy por conseguirle una caja para que sea su nueva cama, seguro le va a gustar, espero que asĂ sea y deje de molestar a su hermano porque en varias oportunidades que me levanto en las noches me molesto porque el gato saca al perro de su cama, encuentro a Duke enrollado con frĂo en una esquina y a HermosĂș acostando largo a largo en la cama del perro. Eso me molesta y tambiĂ©n me da risa. đ€šđĄđ.
Mi perro ya es un canino senior, y mi gato lo molesta mucho y que le quite su cama no me parece que sea bueno para la salud del perro, pero es algo que no sĂ© como solucionar. Cuando veo esa escena los regaño a ambos, a Duke por dejarse quitar su cama y a HermosĂș por abusador y usar cosas que no son de Ă©l.
De dĂa aprovecha que mi mamĂĄ no lo vĂ© y se echa en el sofĂĄ.
HermosĂș duermen tan relajado que yo como mamĂĄ humana me he preocupado sin razĂłn. Ăl cuelga su cabeza como se ve en el mueble, je, je, je (parece parte del sofĂĄ), y pensaba que podĂa atrofiarse su cabeza, pero investiguĂ© por Google y dice que es normal, que los gatos que duermen con la cabeza colgando es porque se sienten demasiados relajados y protegidos en su hogar. Que no se van alesionar y que es un buen sĂntoma.
Viendo TV
A veces cuando veo una pelĂcula mi gato no pierde la oportunidad para acompañarme y echarse encima de mĂ, antes lo hacĂa en mi pecho, pero ya estĂĄ muy grande y pesado, el mismo no se siente cĂłmodo en mi pecho y prefiere meterse en el medio de mis piernas. TambiĂ©n le gusta el cine como a mĂ, este hobby lo heredĂł de su mamĂĄ. đ€Ł
Aprovechando para tocar a Duke
Desde que HermosĂș llegĂł a casa ha visto en Duke un compañero de juego, mejor dicho ha visto en Duke un juguete perfecto, que le sirve para molestarlo y salir corriendo.
Mi perro estĂĄ traumado, porque el gato lo molesta mucho, le muerde las patas, busca rasguñarlo y nunca se acerca para hacerle algĂșn cariño, por eso el perro se aleja o no quiere que lo toque.
Yo quisiera que se llevaran mejor, que se hicieran cariño y durmieran juntos, asĂ como mis mascotas del pasado que dormĂan juntos y se amaban tambiĂ©n eran perro y gato, pero entiendo que cada uno tiene su propia personalidad y al parecer esta pareja no se va a entender.
A veces cuando el perro estĂĄ durmiendo, cansado o distraĂdo rascĂĄndose el gato aprovecha y pone una patita en el cuerpo de Duke. SĂ© que quiere acercarse sin lastimarlo, pero en lo que el perro se da cuenta se aleja, porque ya le tiene idea al gato. đđ„Č. Yo intento ponerlos juntos y que se acaricien, pero el perro sale corriendo.
En fin HermosĂș sigue siendo un cachorro tal vez cuando madure mĂĄs cambiĂ© su comportamiento y el perro lo acepte. Esta fue mi actualizaciĂłn, gracias por leer y apoyar. đ
