He may need a vet trip if he is suddenly pooping and peeing in odd places. It can be a way of letting you know he isn't feeling well. Perhaps a UTI or something...

If he's not feeling right, it would be deliberate, as he can't just say that he's not feeling well, so acting out is a way of signaling something isn't right.

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! Another hot, dry one here. I don't think there is anything critical I need to get out for. Still having some trouble processing Bonnie's death. It was so sudden.
As this left Clyde without his mate, and sugar gliders do not do well alone, being social creatures, who generally need another sugar glider or colony, we feel we have three options.
One is to re-home Clyde, though we love him and don't want to give him up, and don't really believe anyone else can take care of him as well as we try to, though I suspect our disbelief is rooted in simply the fact that we don't want to give him up.
Another is to just try to give him more of our attention when he is awake and active, and hope for the best. The problem is that sugar gliders are largely nocturnal and we humans are not, and it would mean spending more time with a hand in the cage, with a chance that Clyde might accidentally escape and be killed by the cats.
We really don't think that escape is likely, as Clyde is well aware of the cats and is not likely to want to escape the safety of the cage. So the major worry here is whether keeping him alone might lead to a fairly rapid decline in his health, mental and/or physical.
And, of course, if we spend more time at the cage, the cats may become more interested in finding ways to get closer to Clyde. Orion and Kiara have always been very interested in the sugar gliders, and sometimes try to get at them. They really can't, but that doesn't stop them from sometimes terrifying Clyde. Bonnie seemed to learn early on that they couldn't really get her and she was pretty fearless, in fact to the extent we worried some that a cat might succeed in clawing her, if she got too close to certain corners, though that never happened. She wasn't in one of those corners when she died, and was completely unmarked, externally.
We are starting to look into the third option, which would be to adopt another sugar glider as a new companion for Clyde. I think, as he would do better with another companion, that we, as good pet parents, owe it to him to find another one, as we probably can't bring ourselves to re-home Clyde. We have to do what's best for him.

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! Another hot one here, but I may have to go out for a few things. We are down to two eggs, so unless some hens miraculously appear in the yard, and lay us a bunch, we will be out later today. LOL.

Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday! Air quality alert here, so outdoor time must be limited. I might get out, briefly, for a couple of items.

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! 74 out there with an expected high of only 78 today with 20% chance of precipitation. I need to get out to a hardware store soon for a full spectrum or daylight tube to replace the light over the kitchen sink that feeds the plants on the inside window ledge. That side of the house doesn't get any sunlight through the windows as it's shaded by large evergreen trees. They had the right size tube at Publix but only in Warm White.
I also need to get more canned food for Lilo as she is starting on her last can today. She only gets a quarter of a can per day as she won't eat more than that of it, and she wants kibble for the rest of her food. At 16 1/2 and not very active, she doesn't need much food. That doesn't stop her from needing to see and sniff EVERY plate of food I eat. You would think she is a dog, not a cat!
Clyde seems to be doing better than expected without Bonnie. He is eating all his food anyway, and responsive to attention. Still waiting on a reply from the one person I contacted regarding another sugar glider to keep him company, but if that doesn't work out we may be able to keep him happy enough by himself.
Orion, and to some extent Kiara, kept trying to bother him at one particular corner of his cage that they could get really close too so I rigged up some boxes to block them from getting to the closest point, and moved Clyde's water bottle higher as well. While it is still in that corner, it is now high enough that the cats can't get as close to bother him while he is drinking.

Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! High of 80 with 10% chance of rain predicted for today. Right now it's pleasant 68 outside. I will probably get out for a while today and buy a few things we need...while I still have any money, LOL. I get paid on the 1st(retirement) and the 5th(annuity) and then the well is dry until the next month.
My internet is going in and out this morning, but hopefully I will be able to post this!

Howdy all y'all. It's magnificent Monday! 65 now with a high of 83 expected, and 10% chance of rain. I may get out just because it's a nice day! Got a bit of housecleaning done yesterday, and may get a bit more done today.

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! Looking for a high of 78 today, with 40% chance of rain. Clyde was very active last night and quite interested in dis food when I brought it. Kiara started sneezing last night. She slept fairly quietly, next to me on the bed, but did sneeze a couple of times when I checked on her in the wee hours. And she is still having sneezing bouts this morning. Her eyes look clean and clear and she has relatively long periods between bouts so I am not too concerned as yet. I have given Lilo her Tuesday shot (and the required treats right after) and all the other cats seem to be their usual selves. With Halloween coming up we are glad that we were able to give Orion a furever, safe, indoor home last year. We didn't adopt him BECAUSE he is black, but certainly didn't let that stop him from picking us.
Might get out today for a couple of things, and maybe have lunch out. And a friend may come over after supper for a visit, if he's not too worn out from work. J is out of town until (probably) the 20th.

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! I remembered at a bit after 7:00, as I was getting out of bed, that today is garbage/recycle pick up so quickly scrambled into clothing and got those down to the street. From the positions of the next door neighbor's bins, it didn't look like I was too late getting them down. The garbage is usually picked up pretty early, often gone by 8:00 (hence the quick scramble when I got up) and the recycles are usually picked up in the late afternoon. Kiara is still sneezing, and I am still keeping an eye on her. Again, the night was quiet, and, while she has her sneezing bouts, they are short, and not too frequent. Heaven knows I have my own, this time of year!

Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday! Still enjoying cooler days here in the northeast burbs of Atlanta. I enjoy some bits of summer, but not the heat! Kiara didn't eat quite as much as usual yesterday but otherwise seems fine. Haven't heard any sneezes yet today, so maybe it is just a cold and maybe she's getting over it. Still monitoring that. Clyde has been pretty active, and has been re-arranging the little blankets cut from baby blanket type flannel, dragging more of them into his little nest. I saw him last night quite a bit, and carefully interacted with him, and he was ready and waiting at food time, and I heard him moving around in his cage early this morning. He still seems to be OK.
Not a lot on the agenda today, other than, hopefully, a nap.

Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! High of only 71 expected, with 80% chance of rain. We could use the rain so bring it on. There is nowhere else I HAVE to be today, so unless something comes up or a friend needs help, I can stay home. Rainy or cloudy days are great for naps!

Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! Slept in a bit this morning. My sleep was interrupted in the wee hours by waking up, not feeling all that well, and having to sit up for half an hour or so. Cool and a bit humid outside, but it feels nice. I need to feed the cats in a while and get out to Walgreen's to pick up refills on my diabetic testing supplies. Hoping for a nap this afternoon!

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! 50% chance of rain sometime after noon, with an expected high of only 68. Not a lot on the agenda for today. Maybe I will get out for an item or two. I have given Lilo her Tuesday shot. Kiara seems to have gotten over whatever was making her sneeze so much. Clyde is pretty active in the evenings and early morning, and seems to be doing OK. I never got any response to my one query regarding an available female for a new companion so it's looking, for the moment, like we can save that $150 anyway.

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! 61 out there now with an expected high of 68 and 20% chance of rain. Today I really will get my diabetic testing supplies at Walgreen's. They were out of the test strips, but fortunately let me know of the delay prior to my going to get the lancets that were ready, saving me the extra trip.
I heard a thump a bit ago. This isn't at all unusual, since we have 4 cats! 3 of them were in here with me, and I found the 4th, but couldn't see any reason for the thump. This, too, isn't terribly unusual with 4 cats...it may have just been Dinah jumping down from somewhere.

Holy moly y'all! It's thrilling Thursday and it's 44 degrees out there! Looking for a high of only 65 with no chance of precipitation. I seem to remember there being something I might have needed to go out and buy but think I covered about all of it yesterday.
Last night a friend came over to watch a movie, and since he works late hours at a game and bowling place, the evening wrapped around into morning but I did get to bed before 2:00. Normally I turn into a pumpkin at midnight but I managed, after having a longish nap in the afternoon.
I even managed to get through "movie night" without any extra snacks, as he didn't want anything (I did offer) and I just drank water.
I definitely want a nap today too. LOL.

Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday! 43 out there with an expected high of 69 and no chance of precipitation. There is a nap on the agenda, at least hopefully. Nothing critical on the shopping list. I made a crock full of beef stew yesterday so have several meals out of that to go and I have plenty of Romaine for salad, along with a few expensive vine ripened tomatoes. And there is high fiber, low carb whole wheat bread and some deli sliced turkey and ham if i just want a sandwich, or, perhaps, a half serving of stew and half a sandwich for a "soup and sandwich" lunch.
You might want to turn the heat on, briefly, just to make sure it works! I made that test yesterday.

It's been drizzly rainy all day, and quite cool. Stew for breakfast and I had a sandwich and salad for lunch. In a while I'll be assembling a salad from the last of the Romaine and the last tomato. That, and the last of the stew will be my supper and then back to my horror movie marathon!

Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! 58 with a high of 75 expected, and no chance of precipitation. I may get out for canned cat food today. If I don't go today, I will have to go for that tomorrow regardless, and today looks like a good day for it. A nap this afternoon would be lovely, but that may not happen.
Apparently another sugar glider has been obtained, but I may have to do a little roadwork this afternoon or evening to finish getting it home, as it's currently in Kentucky, about halfway between Louisville and Frankfort. I might have to meet someone half way. It's also possible it may stay there for a few more days. It's another male that had no sugar glider companion. They might not like each other at first, but we can keep them separated for a while so that they can interact through a steel barred barrier but not really fight. The name for the new one has not been fully selected as yet. I just hope he is getting enough of the right nutrients in the interval. I will adjust as necessary when he's here.

Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! One never knows who may be lurking in this chat so I address all known and any unknown persons and/or ghosts!
Still posting to Roger's Humorous Pictures thread too.
We're expecting a high of 75 today with 10% chance of precipitation. I need to get to Walgreen's to pick up a prescription, and while out I might run by Publix to pick up a couple of things.
No nap yesterday as I was on the road from about 2:30 in the afternoon until 11:00 at night. I drove to Clinton, TN to pick up the new sugar glider and he is now safely in the separated (but adjacent) space next to Clyde. They haven't met face to face yet, as we kept the new one in a bird cage that is itself in the larger space adjacent to Clyde's space. So he's in a cage within a cage. Clyde was VERY interested as he could hear the new glider chattering (or crabbing, as it's called) about everything. Apparently new guy is a bit wild as he escaped into the basement at the breeder's place and was running free for a while, but we hope to tame him over time.
Of course Kiara and Orion (especially Orion) are also VERY interested in new guy, which was another reason to keep him in a cage within a cage for his first night here. He did come out of his hanging cloth bag once we got him settled, and put his food in the cage with him, and he seemed very active and curious.
Because of his semi-wildness the breeder charged only half what he usually does so we got a bargain basement sugar glider.
I did, after taking care of everything, get to bed shortly before 1:00 this morning. Definitely going to work on a nap today!
