When my girlfriend was much younger, she showed her current cat the corpse of the previous cat (as the two cats had a surrogate mother-daughter relationship going on, and she felt that it was best that there be some closure for the younger cat). It took the cat a looooonnnng time to recover.BadgerBoy wrote:My cousin once got up at 4am to rescue the family terrior from two angry farmdogs who were trying to rip her to shreds. He carried her back to the house, both of them having sustained injuries. The silly dog thought for some reason that my cousin was responsible for her distress and has never forgiven him. She just completely ignores him, or treats him with mistrust now.punkrulesok wrote:Thats the thing about pets though - they are so forgiving. I remember that time I stood on my doggies (Bobby, no longer with us

A shame really, because my cousin really loves that doggy
I'd feel a lot worse about the whole experience if the story weren't so hilarious.
