Cat contemplates wardrobe living
DEAR TABBY: I recognize that this may be type of an strange question, but I was wondering… Do you believe it may be possible to set up long-term home in a closet?
I ask because I’ve discovered one in the house I’m currently occupying, and I’m enjoying it extremely much. It’s full of piles of comforting clothes, a number of pairs of stinky shoes (my favorite!), and it’s just great and peaceful and dark.
ANNONSE
I feel risk-free in there, and it’s peaceful, unlike my previous residence.
La meg forklare…
Before I moved into this closet, I shared an house with a household that barely paid any attention to me at all. feeling unfulfilled, I left that circumstance to online off the land in the woods behind the complex.

For a while, I took pleasure in getting in touch with my wildcat side, but that didn’t last long. I soon discovered that some cats are in shape forever on the road, but it’s just not my style.
So I took up momentary home at a bed and breakfast/cat shelter in the area, sharing a condo with a number of other kitties. I liked the consistent meals and the friendly staff, but I still felt like something was missing, you know?
Before long, the proprietors of the establishment put me in something they called “a permanently home” with a great woman named Denise, with whom I’m living now.
Please comprehend — I’m not complaining. I like Denise. She’s a competent assistant, completely capable of opening cans of gravy and tending to my whims and needs. It’s just that…I don’t understand her extremely well. I’m also shy, and I don’t feel prepared to provide my heart to somebody that I’m not sure will still want me around in a few months.
Tabby, do you believe it’s crazy of me to online in this wardrobe forever? I’m sure that I could discover a method to have my mail forwarded and my meals provided here, in which case I’d never have to leave. Hva tror du?

Enjoying the view
DEAR HIDING: It seems like you’ve dealt with some hard difficulties over the past few months, and I commend your wherewithal.
Before we deal with the wardrobe issue, however, let me very first state that I believe it’s natural to be a bit timid around a new assistant. change like that can be discombobulating, and it’s purr-fectly typical to feel not sure about a new living arrangement. It’s understandable that you’d seek out someplace dark, risk-free and quiet.
But while wardrobes are terrific for respite, there’s still a whole, large world available in the home to explore. believe of all the birds and community cats you could enjoy with the living space windows, or the fun games you could play with Denise.
Imagine exactly how great it could be to kick back with her on the couch. let me tell you — there are few things in this world better than reclining on a couch while your assistant provides you a deep-tissue kitty massage.
I desire you to online in the moment, let go of your past, and leave the wardrobe for a while.
Take the leap! — and online your life to the fullest.
Fashionable or artificial pas?
DEAR TABBY: Is it suitable to wear a black leather harness/collar to an afternoon tea party?
I just recently procured one by McQueen, and I’m extremely ecstatic about using it. I’m just scared that it may be improper for the venue.

I like strong fashion choices
DEAR FORWARD-THINKING: I believe in using what you want, when you want to wear it, so I state choose it!
With that said…I also believe in putting your finest paw forward. will there be press at the event? If so, you may not want to be understood in the gossip blogs as the cat who used black pleather to a tea party.
First impressions count. I like daring collars as much as the next high-fashion feline, but in this case, not understanding the prospective for media coverage, I’d recommend you to save it for another time. perhaps the next time you and your buddies go clubbing?
Think paws-itively! now you have an reason to go buying for a new outfit. go to my buddy Karl over at Chanel, and tell him I sent you. He’ll treat you right.
Overly affectionate coworker makes work a chore
DEAR TABBY: My coworker, whom I’ll phone call Stan, is an annoyingly affectionate pomeranian. I like the person — he’s great sufficient for a pet dog — but he’s always getting up in my space! He’s continuously trying to hug me and, in the process, slobbers around my fur.Tabby, jeg er en maine coon, og la meg fortelle deg, holde dette frakk ulastelig tar arbeid! Å måtte tilby med Pet Dog Drool, på toppen av min rutinemessige hverdagslige grooming, gjør min oppgave så mye vanskeligere.
Jeg ønsker ikke å fremmedgjøre Stan – han er virkelig flott – men jeg er bare så slitt av kontinuerlig å gjenoppfaste hans følelser. Hva må jeg gjøre?

Mitt håndtakskontorpolitikk
Kjære sliter: OK, så her er avtalen: Når du deler arbeidsstasjonsområdet med en hund, snakker du om en helt annen regelbok når den gjelder kontorpolitikken. Tenk deg selv heldig å bli sittende fast med Stan, fordi jeg forstår mange kattunger som må jobbe med bruske hjørnetenner som absolutt reduserer å samarbeide. Du kan ha det mye verre.
Siden du og Stan gjør det, tror jeg at du må sitte på ham (fange ham når han er trøtt), og presentere saken din.
Vær fast, men likevel gjennomtenkt. Nevn at du gleder deg til hans firma og liker å jobbe med ham, men vær ærlig. Fortell ham nøyaktig hvor mange timer den konstante klemmen bidrar til din grooming arbeidsbelastning. Han er mest sannsynlig bare ikke klar over det.
Og hvis det ikke virker, sverger han ham på nesen. Han får hintet. Etter hvert.
Trikset til utrolige selfies
Kjære Tabby: Nøyaktig hvordan tar du så utrolig selfies? Jeg er ikke sikker på hva jeg gjør feil, men min ender alltid med å se litt av.

Jobber det!
Kjære nysgjerrig: Jeg jobber med vinklene mine og prøver å oppdage det vakreste lyset. Og sannferdig, det ekte trikset er at jeg har trent min assistent til å ta dem for meg.
Min favoriserte teknikk for trening er Paws-Itive forsterkning. Når hun tar en stor selvtillit av meg, belønner jeg henne med klemmer og snuggles.
