My Ragdoll Cat Adventures Part Two

I Don’t Think He Has Learned

On Sunday last weekend, Jack got himself into trouble with one of his strange Ragdoll cat behaviors which I thought he had grown out of. After breakfast, they were all running around and playing and thundering up and down the stairs and on the landing. I was working at my laptop listening out for any problems thankful for a break from their pestering. Then all of a sudden I hear a desperate yowl so I go running into the hall. There is Jack all hunched over and very unhappy and the next minute he vomits up all his breakfast all over the rug (which they have thrown up on before- I think I will throw it out now). I mentally panicked as I thought ‘Oh my God what has he eaten now, is it toxic?’ I cleaned up the mess (before the kittens started trying to eat the vomit- sorry to give you that mental image but this is reality.) Then I noticed in the mess there was a lump of sellotape with hair in it which is clearly what had upset his tummy.

Thankfully, at least he had got rid of it before it passed all the way through his digestive tract but I was disappointed as I thought after his episode a year ago when he ate part of a plastic bag that did go through him and took two days to poop out, you would think that he would have learned not to eat plastic. Not setting a good example for the babies.

Then later on that day I managed to step on Charlie’s tail while I was trying to get out through the back door to take the rubbish out and he had got behind me and I did not see him. The next minute a horrendous squeal and I thought ‘Oh no what have I done!’ Poor Charlie. I gave him lots of cuddles and apologised about a hundred times. I think he forgave me. You have to be so careful around your cats sometimes especially kittens as you forget how fast they move and they tend to go for your ankles. 

There were no more accidents that day thankfully. It just gave me a reminder that you can never be off your guard with Ragdolls and you always need to be on the alert for any potential mishaps.
