What a tease!!

Posted : 8/24/2006 9:32:43 PM

We have been keeping Static, our new kitten, isolated from the others. He got neutered, tested for the usual kitty diseases and then vaccinated. After a rough night the other night, he has vastly improved. His cries from the bathroom have caused me to lock up the other two cats and send the dogs outside that way Static can explore. Last night during his exploring, he kept teasing the dogs who were looking in from the outside. Static would try to paw them through the door and window, and then he would run away out of their eyesight. He kept this teasing play up for about 10 minutes. Bubbles kept wagging her tail and whining at him. Shaun just kept up her Pekingese smile that I love so much.

Today, Static met Bubbles face to face. Bubbles learned that even kittens do not want to play with her. It was so funny to watch the almost grown puppy try to get the kitten to understand she only wanted to play with him. Bubbles kept bowing, whimpering, and excitedly barking. Static only looked at her with utter disdain and aggravation. I think he was saying to Bubbles, "Hey! You are ruining my playtime. I only have a certain amount of time to explore and look cute for the humans before they put me back in that room."

Static is our only male among the pets, so it is very weird trying not to say "she" when referring to him.

I know how you feel. I have all boys except two female guinea pigs, and it is hard to remember.

Any Static pics??

How cute! It sounds like all of your animals are learning to get along, which is great. Maybe someday Static and Bubbles will play together. You'll have to post more pictures of the kitty--he's so cute.

I've got a friend whose dog and cat chase each other around and wrestle. Granted, the dog is a dachsund, but I've always wished my cat would play like that with my dogs.

I put one of him in sharing photos a few days ago. I have yet to get any more of him. This school year began on Wednesday. I have been running kids around among the rest of the things.

I will be trying to post more pictures of him soon. I have been trying to get him used to Trinity, who is our younger cat that is out more, before I leave my husband in charge for 16 days while I am on vacation. I leave a week from tomorrow.

None of my cats will play with the dogs and they are small dogs too. Last night, when Shaun and Bubbles were chasing each other around the house, Trin got in the way. She yowled and immediately Shaun kept nipping and shouldering Bubbles out of the room where Trin was. Shannara is more used to cats than Bubbles is. I suppose because she is older and Hayley beat her up enough when she was a puppy. I have seen Shaun do her best to keep Bubbles away from the cats. Maybe someday I will catch a cat and a dog napping with each other.
