Weekend Lounge, July 26-27, 2014

Hey KJ 🙂 yes Nutini was supervising 🙂 she loves her raw food too 🙂

I was doing a lot of “bonding time” with her over the last few days and decided to give a go at training her to give the paw like Buttons used too ( I trained him to sit, give the paw to stand on command)… Nutini already is excellent at sitting on command but I never thought I ever Would get her to give the paw cause she doesn’t tollerate being touched.. And you wont believe it but with a bit of work I think we did it 🙂

Now she’s still learning but I think you can see she understands the command now 🙂

Lol yup he’s taken off then mask 🙂 I think it’s next outing will be on a drunken night out 😆

It was difficult at first trying to get her to even let me touch her paw.. Then I wasn’t sure if getting her to willingly touch my hand was even possible .. But she did it.. Just another thing to pull her out of her shell .. I want to make sure she knows reaching for the treat isn’t the same as doing the hand touching action to get the treat.. She’s a smart girl though once she gets over her skittishness I’ll see what else I can train her to do …

Smart boy Dorry for giving high five!!

OK, so at times I try to teach Dorry to walk upright by holding him up, he finds it fun as he likes getting tickles at same time. Not going to happen anytime soon though LOL. But he does come to my calling his name, and although most say that it is sound and intonation, is it not possible that perhaps he understand and could speak English if he chose to? Whatever. We do have some good if one-sided discussions and one look at me tells me his opinion very clearly. 😉 So I’m off to bed, or back to bed actually as rested just about all day, ’cause if I stay up too late I’ll regret it tomorrow. Very late or very early AM in IE, perhaps we should both attempt to get some sleep. Catch you tomorrow!

Oh, I just love the Nutini video. What a smart girl. You can see her thinking! Good morning to those who come after me. We’ve decided to try and get 90% of our stuff and the cats to the new house before the movers come, so we are borrowing cots, sleeping bags to camp out on the floor for a few nights. We’ll enclose the cats in a safe room with big warning signs not to open when the movers are bringing everything in. That worked well in Lubbock. I had been thinking they’d be safer here, but I think I’ll be too exhausted to pack and move the cats at the end of move in day. This way they’ll get to explore it without furniture for a few days, then with.

Did I hear “sleepover”? You can count us in! Just have to find me a Hello, Kitty nightie. Dorry will arrive in his purrsonal fur jammies. The kits can do kitty things while we try out new hairdos and gossip – or not LOL!
BTW Dorry actually helped me make bed this am. Was tucking in bedspread evenly at head of bed and felt paws pulling from hem (sorta) and straightening it out. Let’s see if I can get him to fold laundry. 😀
Pouring out, dark and gloomy, supposedly for next few days. Off to gym then rest of day and back here in few hrs. Have a good am ECB and EST’ers all and good pm, Buttons.

Enjoy the Gym KJ… Hope the weather clears up 🙂

Hey KZ,
Sleepover hasn’t happened yet. Would need official “invite” from ECB, LOL. Should we give her a chance to get settled a bit before we arrive, kits in tow?
L8R!

So we’ll be kinda having an indoor picnic too ECB 🙂 …

Hey KZ.. I’m dealing with a biter here too Noodle is a viscous biter! He hasn’t drawn blood yet and in hoping he won’t especially seen as he’s already neutered I’m sure things will calm down when the teething finishes..

Oh here’s and old post about Nutini’s story 🙂

She suffers from PTSD now because of her early experiences and you can only touch her if she approaches you.. Which was extremely rare when Buttons was still around.. She’s getting a little better now but she always suffer from PTSD we just have to do things at her pace..

The story of a very lucky cat!!
