Why exercise is BAD for you---"A Cat's Perspective"

[luvmydogs]

You don't know me WISHers, but my name is Pumpkin. I'm the sole feline member in luvmydogs' household. And PLEASE take note of her name: luvmyDOGS.

The day started out early because She Who Has To Be Obeyed has insomnia. I can't relate. So, it's 5:30 am and she has nothing better to do, so she decides to get her exercise out of the way. She pops in this kickboxing workout called "Kick, Punch and Crunch", which for perpetuity will now be referred to as "Kick, Punch and Crunch Kitty"! You see where this is going, don'tcha?

Well, long story short, I ended up with seven stitches under my chin, and She Who Fills The Food Dish ended up with a whopper of a vet bill because it was before my normal vet's hours and we had to go to the emergency clinic. Then she has THE NERVE to tell the vet that at least it happened while she was nearly DONE working out! I think she was nervous because the vet was cute and she was sweaty and stinky.

Well, thanks for listening all you gorgeous WISH BABES. I scored some pain meds from the doc that he swears is better than catnip! And I LOVE my 'nip!

Moral of the story: Cats may have nine lives, but I ain't givin' up one of mine just so luvmyDOGS can have a tight butt! EXERCISE IS BAD MOJO!

With love and chin-tickles to you all,

I Am Pumpkin

First of all Pumpkin dear, I don't even like cats but your story makes me very sympathetic to you. Tell your Mommy, who is my WISH and FIRM-sis, that I don't appreciate her hurting you like that.

I don't currently own any pets but I'll keep your tragic situation in mind for future reference.

Note to self: Don't crunch the cat!


Thanks for sharing your story with us and reliving the pain! Hope those pain meds kick in soon!

Please keep in mind that there are many worse places that you can be, even if you do share a home with dogs. Try to be grateful that your owner loves you enough to give you a home and take care of you when you're hurt, even if she may have accidentially inflicted the pain.

I'm sure she had no idea when she started up that the result would be this.

FYI - Next time she wants to see the cute vet, maybe she can use one of the dogs to get there instead. LOL. (Please don't take this as my condoning animal abuse)

Hope you feel better soon! Next time your owner gets insomnia, maybe you should just keep her bed warm for her while she gets rid of that extra energy.

Cougar & Button

Thank you all for your kind words of support. I had a nice long nap and I'm less cranky than I was this morning. I'm still avoiding The Biped, however--the occasional hiss her way has earned me a few extra treats and some 'nip! She's trying to make up for all the pain she's caused, and I'm gonna milk this for all it's worth. Next up on my plan: lull her into a false sense of security as I sit on her lap and purrrrrrr.......Then: CHOMP! Won't be the first time...Won't be the last.

Cougar & Button-- Wassup, dudes?! Your home sounds so much more appreciative of the feline persuasion than does mine. Once again: luvmyDOGS! I see a pattern... Please feel free to stop on by my digs anytime--more than happy to share my 'nip with a couple a cool goombas such as yourselves.

wtpclc--I knew she was just using me to score some time with the vet! You are very wise. You could be a cat.

Hmmmmm...WISH Sis is it? You don't like cats you say? Awwwww...I'm cuttin' you some slack on this one, Sugar, 'cause She Who Sneaks Me Chicken Scraps says you're One Fabulous Babe! But if you ever come to meet her (I mean meet ME--who'd come for any other reason?), I will make sure I stake you out, rub all over you and curl up on your lap ignoring all others. I just have to--it's part of the Cat Code.

I now return to my regular disposition of arrogance and indifference...

I guess that I forgot to tell you that I am speaking on behalf of Mittens and puffs . Puffs is actually a little put out with my DH right now, as received a bath last night. (Unbeknownst to me, of course)

Glad you're feeling better! So sorry again about the biped! Mittens and Puffs are sending Pixie Dust your way!

(luvmydogs, thanks for sharing. Next time one of the cats walks beneath my feet when I'm on the stairs or anywhere else, I'll inform them to be happy they don't need stitches!!!!)

 

[luvmydogs]

How does my cat work the computer when she has no opposable thumbs? Thanks for all your good Pumpkin wishes. I can tell she's feeling better as she has begun to regain her Major Cattitude.

I sooooo appreciate you all humoring me and my silly nonsense today. I'm coming up on 48 hours with no sleep, and I swear I'm starting to hallucinate.

Hi sweeties Mittens and Puffs!

 

[ZerasPride]

I feel left out! I don't have a pet that can post a message. WAHH!!!!!

Would a teen son do?

Kim, I'm glad your kittie is doing better! If we are ever fortunate enough to get together, I would love to meet Pumpkin in the flesh!

 

[ohMom]

BARK BARK BARK!!! SQUEAK!! SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK!

translation: Toughen up you fuzz ball! unless She Who Clips Me on My Tie Out Back is motionless on her big brown chair reading, avoid her. Only then is proper attention and belly rubbing going to be received. the Sparkster

and from the small rodents newly adopted in our home -- hey! at least you have free roaming of your abode, we're stuck in this blasted contracption where the only movement we get is running and running and running, and still we go NO WHERE! oh sure every now and then little She Who Scoops My Nasty Bedding takes us out and puts us in what? another contracption so we can run and run and run and maybe get somewhere just to be picked back up and have to start all over again! wah! get over yourself! Tilly and Chloe

Pumpkin, this is Cougar & Button here!

What, your biped doesn't get how you type?
We walk all over the keyboard every chance we get! Especially when she's trying to use it!

We have a great catnip patch on out lanai. It's one of those plastic boxes we usually use for other purposes that She Who Rubs Our Bellies filled with potting soil & planted catnip seed in. Works out great! We can even roll around in the stuff!

Hang on to that cattitude! If She feels guilty enough, maybe she will make you a catnip box, too! If you get down to FL, you're welcome to stop in & join us in ours!

 

[luvmydogs]

Oh Cougar and Button you are such ENABLERS! I need to look into the potted catnip--I actually gave Pumpkin the whole tub to eat today 'cause I was feeling guilty. She freaked out, flipped it over and spent the next half hour rolling on the floor in Cat Ecstacy. She finally passed out and left me with a big mess to clean up! Hmmmmm...we're heading to FL in October. Maybe Pumpkin could come for a visit. You know, I SWEAR we'd pick her up on our way home. Really. I swear. Never'd actually purposefully FORGET HER or anything...I promise...

Molli-- Did your pets learn that kinda talk from you or the bebr?! You are a trip and a half, Girl! XOXO to Mom!

 

[wiskband]

I am sweety..........writing under my pets name ( she thinks shes my owner, wiskband)
Be fortunate that besides the dogs there is no treadmill in your home...........
Wiskband has one and boy did I get a workout!
First day it was in the house, the 5 year old put me on the back of it while it was being used...........
thankfully there was no vet bill involved..............
But, I too got some special treatment as well as some catnip ...
(used for medically purposes only of course)!

sweety

 

[luvmydogs]

OK Sweety, I'm gonna try that one on She Who Stops Me From Scratching My Stitches! "I need more 'nip purely for "medicinal purposes." Score!

Chin-tickles to you!
