    Cat Issues

    in Training and Behavior discussion

    Posted

    we had two cats when our girl arrived, she was 8, the boy cat was a afraid but the girl cat tolerated the "greeting in the usual manner" the boy cat would roll and rum all over queens bed when she went to bed.

     

    Conrad took over dog duties and we had a new cat, she became fast friends and even groomed him, the boy cat had died but the other girl cat still accepted greetings from the dog, arrived at 8 years old.

     

    BISBEE has now taken over dog duties and is only 4 but button and Bisbee and button are fast friends.

     

    Queen had a high prey drive to rabbits, squirrels and outdoor cats, but waited until they entered the yard, then chased

     

    CONRAD was the the same, but did not wait she kept them out or chased them down

     

    Bisbee well she barks at them

     

    all three came cat safe but it may be partly the cats in question too

    New Girl Bisbee

    Thank you all, Queen chased squirrels, Conrad CAUGHT squirrels and BISBEE ah... barks and Roos at them.

     

    As for her name, one of the staff members helped with the deliveries of all her pups ( last was difficult) and had visited the GHOST TOWN of Bisbee and she renamed her. Hemopet usually keeps the track name and lets the new owner deal with the name.

     

    I suspect, having a litter made her a Hemopet vavorite, l do think they may have changed her brothers name too, he is the same coloring and named Mason.

    My boy Conrad had a Hugh mass in his pelvic area and they also found spots on his lungs ( had computer issues and health issues so l have been off the ebil compewter ) at any rate my DW ORDERED me to get to Hemopet and start looking.

     

    So time to introduce BISBEE ( formally mitey Exacta) she never raced and was a broody for a very short time, she is four years old. She arrived at Hemopet with her brother ... well and delivered a liter of pure greyhound puppies! They did not last long, several staff members grabbed them up😱😂

     

    She is a barker and and she Roos. Is a fawn, and a total love

    New Greyhound - Need Help W Behavior

    well that sounds like my CONRAD, he walked around the rescue like EYEORE, and my DW was afraid he had been abused. ALL the kids working there said he came to them like that. He is A larger black boy and after his time at blood donor he just did not strike any ones fancy.

     

    Well until I showed up, again, like my dear departed Queen, he walked with my wheelie chair PERFECTLY.

     

    for a few weeks he would go out side with me, do his bidness, then curl up in the outside bed until time to go in. He then buried himself in the inside bed.

     

    after a month or so, HE decided he was NOT going to sleep in his crate at night. I realized this when my DW dragged the bed into the bedroom and dropped him off.

     

    NOW, if the controller on my wheelie chair clicks he is right at my side. when I put on my big boy pants he makes sure he "helps" me with the pants.

     

    I am going to have the vet write a letter making ME his emotional support pet so we can travel easier :bgeorge

    New Here And Looking For Advice. Is A Greyhound The Right Dog For Me?

    as for co-existing with ebil cats :catscatwell, my first grey was fine around our three cats. When she went to the bridge, Conrad came into our lives. Now down to 2 ebil cats, Conrad ignores the one, BUT is best buddies with the other. she has been known to actually lick Conrad's ears...INSIDE!

     

    You might check with your local greyhound rescues, In my area, {LA Calif} one of them has lots of dogs and offers them up for people to walk around their property. {they have many that are currently giving blood, and a bunch ready for adoption, so maybe you can do the same in your area

    General Advice For Novice Grey Owner

    My boy Conrad was a long time at the kennel waiting a forever home. being a He and black, oh and several PAGES of diet issues he was also walking like EYEORE when I arrived. since he walked around like Eyeore he did well with my wheelie chair.

     

    for several weeks, when we went outside for his morning break, he would pee, poop and lay down curled up like a deer.

     

    He started coming out of his shell, BUT at about 3 months he decided that the crate was not for him.

     

    Now he IS very cat friendly with HIS cat, Button, who has been known to ah...clean his ears. Our other cat, he just watches her walk by.

     

    He has become VERY attached to me, and whenever I turn on the wheel chair he wants to know where WE are going. He has become the POSTER BOY on SA.

     

    He was introduced to the grand kids and they love him to death, he tolerates them :hehe

     

    he has been with us for several years, and he still comes up with new things, like yesterday he tried to take his half eaten bully stick to our bedroom.

     

    The point being, like the weather, wait a little bit and your grey will change :bgeorge:beatheart

    cats in the back yard... sit out there with him for a couple of hours at a time, also turn him out on a regular basis. My boy's best friend is his ear cleaning, face washing rescue CAT, however Conrad has NO problems with explaining to interlopers, be it, rabbits, ebil squirrels, other dogs OR cats, he 'splains it to them it is HIS yard [we have a wrought Iron fence and one of the neighbors has no gate so we get dogs visiting]

     

    also, welcome

    I had a patient at Rancho Los Amigos. He had accidentally cut his ankle on a metal milk crate {NOT GOOD} THEN while they were working on him, they knocked over one of those big rolling carts {craftsman tool type, used for crash carts etc} and lost a toe. We then got him at Rancho with a "healing" cast on. This poor guy had been in serious pain from the start. He was seen in our Thursday out pt clinic and the Chief of Staff had me take off the cast as the residents all headed off to do rounds. WELL when I got that cast off {too thick for the cast shears and too wet and soft for the cast saw.} I paged the chief and told him SOMEBODY needed to back to the clinic. I NEVER met a HAPPIER person have a below knee amputation in my life. He woke up and was so happy the PAIN was gone.

    In The Process Of Adopting A Greyhound. Live With 2 Cats.

    my first grey, Queen came home to 3 cats, she kinda ignored them and one cat did the same to her, the youngest was friendly and the male was a total wimp. BUT every time he walked by a dog bed without a dog he would roll around all over the bed rubbing his scent on it... :hehe

     

    When she went to the bridge, Conrad arrived and we were at two cats, both female. since they did not get along with each other, Conrad spends his time with the younger cat who LOVES kissing Conrad on the face {yeah I know, gotta get a picture of that} and sleeps in the same room with him every night Oh and after a couple of months the boy got tired of the crate and my DW gave up and threw him and a bed into the bedroom :yikes

     

    YOUR mileage may vary, some settling of contents may occur, colors may vary, If they cannot take a joke, nuke'em till they glow so it is easier to shoot them after dark...just sayin'
