(1,014 posts)He'll let you do anything to him. He's gone through two toddlers. Both boys are 6 and 7, and he loves them to death. I had to pierce an abscess behind his ear and use hydro peroxide and iodine on it and keep it clean until it healed. He's and inside/outside cat that loves the ladies, and loves to fight.
He's my bubba. Sleeps on my bed every night, however explores during the day. My 5 month old kittens love him to death. He plays with them like he is a kitten himself. He's almost 7 yrs old. He's a tabby, that is all muscle and weighs at least 15lbs!!
He has scars, and scabs. I love him all just the same.

(931 posts)'just wait a sec while I do this' if you work at it a bit. Whereas a cat is more like 'WTF are you trying to do to me' and you have to work your way from there. That's the major difference in my experience

(22,000 posts)Cats seem to be more resistant to want to swallow a pill. They act like your trying to kill them or something. Over dramatic....

(8,462 posts)Two ordered rows of ticks? I think not! No wonder the cat went off.
Put the pill in liver sausage.

Generally, this is hilarious for Mr. Mickey's father, and he looks forward to how, no matter WHAT, this little thing ends up being p-toohed out of his mouth.
Then, there's his stool softener....
