My mom has dementia though so she could open the door at any point and the kitty is gone. Done.
But, their other beloved cat went missing and it was a bengal siamese like this one and am pretty stoked I found another snow bengal siamese, but so worried my mom will just open a door and let it out.
Fuck - but honestly she is having such a good time with the cat even if it disappears day 4, it will be worth it. It was a complete kitty surprise - I didn't tell them I was getting it so seems awesome but that shit stresses me out as if the kitty surprise didn't go well, I didn't really want the kitten at my place... it is super cute and all though - its really adorable.
Honestly, my Dad was super depressed and I think this has worked already in creating another element at their place. Some being with needs with cries and purrs. Animals are theraputic, bruh.
CUTE
Family cat died of age early this year, my mother doesn't want anymore, my father does because he's lonely. Pushing for one.
That thing is adorable. Only real men will admit they like cats. Why not get a super bright collar for it in case it’s let out ?
Yeah thats a good idea - or a collar with a name and number. I'll have to look into that.
Microchipping is also a good idea alongside a collar with name and number.
Yeah def it’s microchipped
Really cute cat. Super nice thing to do. Also, sorry to hear about your mom--thats a difficult thing to deal with.
Thanks - bro appreciate it. It hit me really hard in 2016 around thanksgiving when she just completely forgot who I was one moment.
I hit the gym hard. I did jump rope the next day for probably 2 hours. I was venting. Then I did a grueling workout each day thereafter to try to cope and over the course of about 6 days ended up tearing both of my achilles. It was a hard time to go through. Annnnd so then I couldn't walk normally either for a while.
But, the realization that I had to make, was that she was there to care for me when I was young. She taught me how to love and although she may not remember everything about me, it is my responsibility to give her the best moments and care in her life now that her memory is gone. She has happy moments and she remembers that I am someone special, but just can't find the right words to describe me.
Overall though, out of all of my family and my Dad included, she always lights up and is excited I have arrived, which is special. We are really close and our relationship has just changed. I'm not permitted to feel sad for her losing her memory, but more just required to be there for her as she was there for me.
I was in other states in my 20s and super corporate and never thought about much regarding my parents or being there for them, but when things got tough, I found myself wanting to help more, especially as my other siblings are married and stuff. I'm the 'boots on the ground' in my city for my family.
I'll be in the south for this chapter, but looking to move back to a big city after as I love city life.
My mom was born in 1938 and I'm the youngest sibling in my family, so this is usually something most people go through in their 50s - but I am in my 30s. All of my siblings are in their 50s.
Its usually something that most people my age live through with their grandparents (having demntia) and dealing with from a distance, but these are my parents so its more significant for me.
Man I could not be any more supportive of this. I think just being there is incredibly important. I'm in a tough situation these days with me grandmother (not like this, her issue is cancer), and being there for her as we draw closer to the end is my number one priority. I hope you can keep your head up and continue to make her happy man. It aint easy, but life rarely is.
Dude that's crazy young, both for your mother and for you to deal with. It's so insidious. In a similar situation (alzheimer's) but with my grandmother. She's in hospice care and is looking at about 1 week max. Hats off to you brother. I can't imagine what it must be like having that affect someone so close.
such a cute pussy
Awesome and poignant on so many counts.
My only uncle has dementia. It can be trying in different ways on different family members. He'll call us to say that his tv or dvd player doesn't work anymore and we have to go through a series of questions, are you sure it's plugged in, do you have fresh batteries in the remote, etc.
It unsettles my younger brother, having to repeat certain routines and rituals with our uncle every few weeks or so, over and over, but I remind my brother that our mom and dad and uncle never taught us something just once -- they had to repeatedly teach us how to tie our shoes, dress ourselves, or eat with a spoon or fork or ride a bicycle through many, many tries.
It's incredibly important to be loving, tolerant and patient when dealing with someone who needs teaching or reminding. It's the very least we can do for those we love.
There are Bluetooth cat collars with GPS tracking via phone app and a geo fence option that will alert you if the cat leaves the perimeter. I think it’s a couple bucks a month for the cellular function on the tracking device and you can use the same account for multiple cats. My sister had this for her feline spawn from the underworld but it seems to work well for her
