If you could make your pet understand one thing, what would it be?
By Tracy Schruder
If I could make my cats understand one thing it’s that I have to do the uncomfortable tasks of caring for them.
When it’s time for daily grooming, you best not reveal to them that you are about to do it. They understand what you’re saying!
Do not let them see you with a brush, clippers or a cleansing cloth in your hand because if they do, you’re in for a game of chase followed up by a tactile and crafty game of hide and seek.
Then there is the medicine, that you believe you’ve successfully administered, as they swiftly jerk their face in the opposite direction while their mouth is still open and spit it out the other side.
There is always that one flavour of food that they refuse to eat, if you dare give it to them they meow up and down the hallway in protest ( because they are starving to death 😹 ), until you open another can so they can feast on their eight bites, of justification.
I’m always gentle and kind. I have the patience of a nun, with my fur babies but they don’t always understand my reasons for why I do what I do.
If I could make my kitties understand this then our relationship would be much more simpler. However, part of me believes that they enjoy the chase, the hiding and meowing their mouths off! 😹
