The crass and cynical part of me tells me that Rob is cheating on you, Nush can smell the other woman on him and is making it known to him that such behavior is unacceptable in her eyes/paws.
He thinks you're his kittens. He loves you. He also doesn't think much of your personal hygiene habits. In his mind, you're not bathing properly, so he must do the job for you. As you don't allow it when you're awake, he must do it when you sleep.
Da boyz love to sit on my copier. I leave it on because otherwise it jams, and they love to sit on the warm machine... They are often cuddled, but this is by far the prizewinning picture...
So far my kittens aren't interested in jumping on the kitchen counter. They like my dining table. Instead of trying to keep them off it, I just keep it clear of any stuff. I wipe it down with antibacterial spray and put down placemats and eating utensils when I eat, clearing them when I'm...
I'm just really glad I got littermates on the same day and was able to bring them home together. They have never been separated. They rule the roost in my studio apartment.
I just lock my screen every time I step away from the laptop, so I have to enter my password to get back on. I started doing this when I saw this little scene at my place....
Loveysmummy,
The game you have described is NOT "fetch." It is called "toss." The difference is that, in "fetch," the human will be the first to throw something for another creature (most usually a dog) to bring back. In "toss," a superior creature will bring us an object so that we throw...
I figured if I have the space to keep a litterbox in the bathroom for toilet training purposes, it is easier to keep it filled with flushable litter (The World's Best Cat Litter or Arm And Hammer Easy Flush) and flush the clumps away a couple of times a day, than it is to try to force unnatural...
I don't bother with press-on nails for cats. I just clip their claws nice and blunt, at least once a week. They sometimes fuss, but they're agreeable enought about it. The blunt claw tips work well enough with the clawing/destruction issues. In fact, because their claws don't snag on most...
If you HAVE to live with someone, you need to be extremely picky about your roommates. Letting yourself be foisted into living with a toddler doesn't seem to me like a very well thought out plan, if you have cats--and even if you don't.
How about listing it on FreeCycle: "Accordion free to a pet-free home."
I give private singing lessons in my home, and I confine my kids to their playroom when I am teaching. They mostly stay quiet when I teach or when I practice. On occasion, I will forget to switch off the electric piano...
