GETTING OLD

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

CATS ON TUESDAY


Lisa (17)becomes more and more a pain in my neck ! I had never had such problems with the 3 cats I had before, when they were getting old. Lisa behaves like a spoiled Lady in a retirement home who terrorizes the staff !


If she would be a human she would ring the bell all 5 minutes to ask for something completely useless only to have people run for her. She would claim for food every half an hour and pretend that she wouldn't get enough to eat. She would complain whole day about anything and everything ! and sometimes even pee in the bed.

That's why we decided to give Lisa the "Happy Pill" again because she meows night and day without any reason. It's not a yowling anymore, it sounds like brrrriiiiittt, brrriiiitt non stop.

But Lisa is very clever ! She now refuses little piece of chicken or of minced meat because she suspects a pill inside which we had done before. So we try to give her the pill through her mouth ! And that's a show ! While Mr. Gattino holds the tiny pill between his fingers and stands there a little lost, I am running behind Lisa who, of course hides under everything available. Even when I try to catch her by surprise, this little bitch feels what I have in mind and disappears like a flash ! When finally I got her and the pill is inside, she would walk away very offended and retire in her basket, while both of us fall on the sofa completely exhausted ! These are the joys of a retired couple !



As you can see her fur becomes more and more thin and her hindlegs have bald spots. Here after having meowed for an hour and terrorized her humans she sleeps happily.



Then, as she woke up she went with me in the bathroom where she observed with eager what I was doing there.



Her belly is completely hairless and hangs under her like a little balloon



here you can see it between her legs.



Then she kept me company by squatting MY chair and doesn't want to go away of course. One thing helps ! The little orange octopus or a little white mouse, then she would play and play like a kitten ! A friend told me that old women sometimes fall back into childhood ! I believe her.


Observing this whole show with very lazy looks





all three of them probably think that it is our fault to give in to all her caprices (or nearly) ! I push a big sigh ! Getting old ....
