EllenEveBaz Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Aggrieved parties: Milo and Gelsey Evidence: She invites us up with her on the sofa or the bed. Then the insults start. "Ouch, your elbows are too pointy." "You're too heavy, get off my legs!" "Get off of my blankets!" (Then she starts RUDELY pulling them out from under us.) "Move over, you bed hog." "Quit kicking." (Milo) "Quit licking" (Gelsey). So just to get a little rest, we leave and go someplace quieter. Then we hear her calling, "I'm lonely. Why doesn't anyone want to sleep next to me?" Quote Ellen, with brindle Milo and the blonde ballerina, Gelsey remembering Eve, Baz, Scout, Romie, Nutmeg, and Jeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remolacha Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 This is how it went with Val (most of my dogs showed no interest in getting on the human bed) me: you are in my spot. Val: suddenly becomes deaf me: I give you the other 3/4s of the bed, that is where I sleep! Val: continues to ignore me me: ok, you asked for it. I gently push her 6” over Val: glares at me and leaves the bed in a huff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramonaghan Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Milo and Gelsey, I'm sorry, but this is your own fault. It's time to start over with training basics, and remember to use positive reinforcement only with your human so she doesn't show you her teeth or soil your beds. Quote Rachel with littermates Doolin and Willa, boss cat Tootie, and feline squatters Crumpet and Fezziwig. Missing gentlemen kitties Mud, Henry, and Richard and our beautiful, feisty, silly Sweep.

GreyPoopon Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Milo and Gelsey: There is no pleasing some humans. Sounds like you landed with a push-me/pull-me whiner. If she acted that way with another human, her behaviour might lead to divorce. Your best hope at this point is to wait at the window for Ducky to rescue you.

palmettobug Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Dear M&G, you must have taken lessons from Fuzzy. She is going to find herself on the floor one day , which in her case, will last all of about 2 minutes, during which time she will find something to get into, and I will invite her back on the bed just to get her to stop. Quote Current Crew: Gino-Gene-Eugene! (Eastnor Rebel: Makeshift x Celtic Dream); Fuzzy the Goo-Goo Girl (BGR Fuzzy Navel: Boc's Blast Off x Superior Peace); Roman the Giant Galoot!

MerseyGrey Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Buddy doesn’t get on the furniture which means I have to get down on the floor with him, so I suspect (from the side eye I get when I slide off the sofa onto his bed) that he feels exactly the way Ellen does!
