“Dear Cocoa,
I am the pet of a cute
little tiger kitty with yellow-green eyes and a wonderfully gentle
disposition. However, she sleeps all day
long. I can’t rouse her for
nothing. She gets up around supper time
and then curls up in our laps while we watch TV, then she goes to bed with
us. I am terribly worried about
her. What can I do?
Signed Worried Pet,
“Dear Worried Pet,
Your cute little tiger
kitty is fine. She is a baby, I assume
from your description, and therefore needs more sleep to grow. Also, felines tend to sleep during the day
and then play at night. The fact that
you don’t see her playing means nothing.
She will curl up with you to get the warmth (and attention); then, when
you fall asleep, she is out and about stalking, playing, romping, and checking
things out. The time to be worried is if
the food is not eaten and the toys are always neatly secured in their storage
area.
Signed Cocoa”
