What is My Cat Trying to Tell Me?

     Okay, you may be wondering what the book, Marley and  Me has to do with a cat blog.  Tell me what you think when you are done reading.
     LK,  Meow Mice chief product tester has received a clean bill of health after a recent illness.    She is now medicine free.  Without any tests,  I already could tell that she is back to normal.   LK  is no longer sitting hunched up under the coffee table.  She is relaxing fully stretched out and is once again  purring.  Unfortunately,  LK  has also gone back to her annoying habit of waking me up.
     In the early morning hours, 3:00am or so LK will come to my side of the bed and either jump on me or start meowing.  This is her signal to tell me to give her some food.  She has me trained to do this because if I don't she keeps pestering me.
     This past Monday morning it was a different story as I did not  wake up to LK's  usual antics.  I guess I was sound asleep.  LK  is not a cat to give up.  So as her persistence increased so did her methods.  My headboard is also a bookcase.   LK in desperation knocked a book by my head off the headboard  to the floor.  Of course, the loud thud woke me up and she got the food she was craving.   Later that morning when I was making the bed  I realized  Marley and  Me  was the book  lying on the floor.  This was the only novel and the only dog book  in  the stack of mainly inspirational and spiritual books, including the Bible that were available to her paw.   Was she trying to tell me something more since she picked the only  book that had anything to do with dogs to send to the floor?  Was she jealous?  Does she want me to be thankful she isn't a dog and certainly not a dog like a  Marley?  Does she want to ban the book?    Maybe I'm giving her too much credit for her choice being intentional, but still I WONDER!

How To Give Your Cat A Pill

Unfortunately, LK recently was sick and  had to take a lot of pills. Four pills twice a day! This was no small feat! My vet did a demonstration, but then I also watched this video to help. The information about tilting her head back really helped.  I also added wrapping her in a towel. She is now down to two pills twice a day and is doing much better. I am also doing much better with my pill giving. Practice makes Purrfect!

Introducing Meow Mice's Chief Product Tester!

 LK with a Meow Rat!
Introducing  Meow Mice's Chief Product Tester, LK.  LK stands for Little Kitty because she came to Meow Mice Headquarters about 10 years ago as a very thin and hungry stray.  She now weighs 11 pounds and has made herself quite at home with us.  Through LK's tireless efforts, Meow Mice are cat approved for superior quality and workmanship.  LK puts her paw of approval on every Meow Mice design before it goes into production.  Her very high standards test for quality, safety, durability, enjoyment, and playability!
