Cat HELP!

[evieeros]

So I have this blanket.  It's actually a fake version of those blanket-backwards-robe snuggie sleezie things.  It's all nice and fuzzy on the inside.  And last night I thought hey it's getting cold maybe the cat would like to sleep on it.  So I spread it next to me on the couch for him to get all comfy on.   It was good

Yes, the neutered boy kitties still get a little frisky. Okay, a lot.

There's a scent in that blanket that's making him hot. I know, cats are weird. (I won't mention the things the last neutered boy kitty I had did.)

Other than him driving you nuts, he's probably fine.

He was never frisky before the neuter! S'why I'm so boggled!

*puts hands over ears* Lalalalala!

I'm never owning a houseplant again am I? *eyes wreckage of plastic plant*

I haven't the slightest idea why male cats do that. They are just...strange.

Cats love houseplants. Unfortunately. They do that to get some greens (helps them with digestion). Outside cats chew on grass a lot. Some pet stores sell little grass growing kits for cats.

I've seen the "cat grass" thing before. I was afraid it would cause him to puke. The few times we've let him out (harnessed and leashed) he's started to much on the lawn.

Does grass = barfing!cat or is this something I should look into further?

*debates buying cactus...*

Cats sometimes barf the grass. Sometimes it seems cats will barf anything, maybe from overeating. But it shouldn't be often. If he didn't barf the times he munched on the lawn, I wouldn't worry about it. Just let him munch whenever you take him for a walk. One of my neighbors has a cat who comes out and chews on the leaves from a nearby tree (third floor) but since then she's gotten the grass growing thing because maintainance lopped back the tree.

I don't know about the cactus. Probably not now.

One of our cats ate several cacti we had (note the past tense). Well, tried to eat, but mostly just destroyed.

LOL Oops. Right then, no houseplants for me. (I'm not exactly mourning the loss.)
