Update To Cat Psychics

Labels:
Well you were right most beloved and brilliant readers. I took Mason to vet this morning to discuss his "behavior ish-uhs" and a 100 smackaroos later, it turns out that he's probably just picking up on the pregnancy and acting out because of it.

I totally didn't even realize that he would know what was going on, but the vet says they do. Animals are very sensitive to hormone changes, and they probably knew something was up even before I did. As a matter of fact, the kitty doc says that some animals are so sensitive to hormonal changes that male iguanas can even tell when their female owners are menstruating, and thus become very aggressive during that time. (Although I've gotta say, if I had an iguana get all snippy with me during my time of the month, I'd have some new lizard skin shoes before long. PMS? I'll show you PMS, you stupid reptile).

Anyway, the good news is that Mason is physically fine. The bad news is that he's just a neurotic little fur ball who is having mood swings because of my pregnancy. The vet gave us some kitty Valium to try to mellow him out some while he deals with all his hormonal changes.

The little nut job.

The only reason why I thought of that was because my parents have told me that the cat they had when I was born was jealous of me. Anytime mom would nurse me, she'd go in the corner and pee, all the while giving her an evil stare. Ultimately, they gave her away because they felt guilty they didn't give her as much attention anymore. Ironically, my parents now dote on their cat more than on me and my sis. I anticipate this changing when they have grandkids, but since that won't be happening anytime soon I'm glad they have the cat to call and tell me stories about, miss while they're on vacation, talk to when they get home, and generally spoil. Haha.

Better Mason gets the valium than having to give it to Tony after many more mornings like the previous! (Or can you say Tony-sized cat-fur slippers before long!?! )

Fascinating. You will recall Tobey used to pee on my bed while I was getting ready for work. The vet said it was because she was having seperation anxiety due to my leaving, and after she got used to my routine she would be fine. And she (eventually) was, but it was a trying 2 months. Here's hoping Mason will get used to the changes soon and Tony won't be subjected to any more wet wake-up calls.
