I actually bandaged her feet tonight after she figured out how to chew her paws even with the cone on. She's too clever.
Cats are like life: Attempts to restrain either ends with similar in effect, though different in scale, results...



[ ... no being overrun by foraging or predatory dinosaurs, ofc. ] :P

lmao pretty much

I wonder if maybe orange cats are just smart. My late cat was a light orange (the vet listed his color as "buff") tabby and he was incredibly smart. He knew when it was time to go to the vet and he would hide. He could sense when it was bath time (even if I kept all the stuff in the bathroom and didn't start running the water til he was in there) and make himself scarce. He would meow once it was his dinner time and chew you out if you stayed up too late. Once, I cornered him behind the couch with the other end blocked off because I needed to catch him and this elderly, declawed (sidenote y'all, don't declaw your cats, it's like cutting off the last segment of your finger for them and it caused lifelong health problems for him) cat somehow jumped/scrambled up the back of the couch to get away.

On the flipside, my gray cat is dumb as a sack of hammers. No thoughts, head completely empty, but heart very full of love. I could be bathing the other cat, who would be yowling at the top of his lungs like he was being tortured, and then open the bathroom door to find the gray one just sitting there. Easily grab him and bathe him. Couldn't do it the other way around.

Well now, I have a bit of a conundrum. My mom called me and said that her neighbors are moving and they're looking for a new home for a little lovebird that they found outside their house a few months ago. Apparently it's really friendly and will fly on top of people and hop around which sounds like a welcome change of pace from my red-vented bulbul who will at best tolerate sitting in my hands as I carry him back to his cage for his meals.

One thing that I noticed about bulbuls is that they always seem to be in pairs, and that always sort of made me a little sad knowing that mine has been alone for most of its life. So on one hand, he might have a companion. But on the other hand, there's no guarantee that they would get along. I need to call my vet to see if they're compatible, because they seem like such different birds.

They look awesome. I mean i am not familiar with birds, once they don't get along can they be at least somewhat trained to like each other? With cats it took rivel and silver almost a month to the point they don't hiss at each other. You need to keep making positive associations when the two meet and has to be separated for a range of time with slowly introducig each other's smell.

It is obviously different, but just curious.

Hmmm... I read that lovebirds are territorial and can be aggressive lol. But that doesnt mean that I cant just house them separately. My bulbul prefers to either stay in its cage or on some high places in the kitchen; hes too cowardly to explore any further lol. And if the lovebird is anywhere near as affectionate as my neighbors say he is, hell probably stick by me (and Im in my room most of the time lol)

Well my vets assistant said that I can try putting the birds cages next to each other to see if they can get acclimated. So it looks like (hopefully) my birdy will be getting a friend :3

Well she's funny to say the least. I took her to the bathroom and closed the door and let her out of the cage. Unlike my bulbul who prefers to just sit up high all day, the lovebird would explore and walk around on things. Sometimes she would land on my head or walk from shoulder to shoulder lol.

...And of course, she'd bite me any time I put my hand near her :<

My cat somehow got her cone stuck in her mouth (like, the opening her head goes through was stuck between her jaws) last night and was freaking out. I was terrified she was about to break her jaw. She bit and scratched when I tried to put the little medical boots on her paws and shook them off.

She is absolutely exhausting me. I love her and I want her to get better, but I don't know what to do.

My other cat also knocked over the cat tree.

He is extremely fat and the tree is very wobbly. He climbed up it too quickly and it started to fall. Technically, I did catch it and keep it from falling, but it would have hit the ground had I not. I should probably get a new one or find a way to anchor this one down.

Does anyone know if there's a bird registry or something online? The lovebird I got from my neighbors has a tag on its ankle, and I was going to ask my vet about it when he opens up tomorrow. It must've been at least a year since they found the little birdy, so I'm guessing that its original owners have given up hope of finding it, but I still feel like I should make an attempt at getting her back home.

It might be an identification biochip. Usually RFID planted containing something like owner info or something. I don't know , but some pets probably require those IDs depending on where you are.
