I have something to tell you today, about Harley. He is very wild and wacky and plays rough all the time. But he is also very sensitive!
He can get skerred very easily, and when he does he gets very uncertain and runs away. A few of the things that worry him are loud noises, new things, and anything he does not understand. He usually goes away to be by himself for a couple of hours to figure stuff out.
Remember when he got skerred of the balloon?!?
The catnip bubbles also worried him a little bit.
Sorry I told, Harley. Even though I have a little head, I got a big mouth.
Do not worry, we are very understanding of Harley's sensitive side and try our very best to never make him get upset or worried.
It's okay to be a little scairt, Harley! Virus is afraid of cats (uh.. yeah..) but sssh.. don't say we told anyone!
ReplyDeletePurrs,
Hyssing
Gandalf spends nearly every single thunderboomie hiding, Harley. Do not worry. It's Ok to be askeered of a couple things.
ReplyDeleteI am very understanding as I am scared of lots of things too. I am scairt of strangers, childrn, men, cuddles, snuggles and the furminator.
ReplyDeleteI go and hide away sometimes too.
Pops
Don't worry Harley. Alice is scaird of EVERYTHING.
ReplyDeleteAnd having a sensitive side just makes you sexier!
I get scairt of things too Harley. It's okay.
ReplyDeleteI think lots of cats get scared of things. I know mine do! I didn't know you has such a big mouth, Daisy. Wow!
ReplyDeleteDaisy, it's actually good to know that Harley is scared of the same kinds of things that bother lots of cats. Makes him seem more "normal".
ReplyDeleteMe and Lishy both have things that make us go and hide out for a little while, too, mainly loud noises or new people. Fui is usually pretty brave, but if mum shakes out a plastic bag he heads for the hills. Don't worry about it, Harley :)
ReplyDeleteThat was very nice of you Daisy to tell us about Harley being a little afraid of some things. There are a whole bunch of cats here that are just the same. Everyone here runs in all directions if a stranger walks in the yard and even worse into the house. So Harley don't feel bad. We love you anyway.
ReplyDeleteHope all of you have a fun day.
Harley, I'm like that too....it's okay...I've learned those things won't hurt you...
ReplyDeleteErnie
Daisy, I know that you told so that all your friends would know not to do anything to scare Harley, and that's very thoughtful and sisterly of you.
ReplyDeleteEverykitty has their fears. All those traits make Harley the more endearing!
ReplyDeleteIt's okay, Harley. I get scared sometimes too and I'm all grown up. Today it is VERY windy here and I am very scared. Eeeek!
ReplyDeleteyou're a good big sister.
ReplyDeleteYou got to tell harley to man-up
ReplyDeleteme too harley! we are twins!
ReplyDeletesmiles, auntie bee
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
I like that figure it out- good way to put it.
ReplyDeleteHarley, I love you. I am scairt too of a lot of things like noises and stuffs that skitters across the floor like a balloon. Don;t you worry though. Daisy and your mom and dad will make sure nothing happens to you. xoxox
ReplyDeleteI get scared sometimes too Harley. I hide behind the sofa.
ReplyDeleteEric
Oh Harley, so sensitive and sweet, we love you just the way you are:-)
ReplyDeleteHarley it's ok! Our biggest toughest mancat here, Nigel, is also a 'fraidy cat sometimes. Mom says it's because of what probably happened to him before he found us. We just let him be himself and he gets a little less afraid all the time.
ReplyDeletejudging from his "how things work" postings, harley eventually does figure things out even if it may take him an hour or two.
ReplyDeleteWe all get scared sometimes Harley - with us it's mostly baskets, car rides and v-e-t-s, especially man v-e-t-s cos they've got big hands.
ReplyDeleteDaisy and your mom and dad will look after you.
I recently received a balloon for my birthday. Both cats were scared of it. But Sage to the point where it made me feel terrible. :[ We understand Daisy!
ReplyDeleteSome of us are skerred of different things, too. Maybe that is where the term 'scardy cat' came from?
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday to both of you!
~ Miss Emily
Harley is lucky to have you for a big sister, Daisy!
ReplyDeleteOh Harley you are such a sweetie!
ReplyDeleteHarley, that is ok. We're all a little bit scared of something. (Daisy, Ginger from Cory's house would be so proud of you!)
ReplyDeleteoh Harley, sensitive mancats are what all the ladycats are after.
ReplyDeletePoor Harley! We have quite a few sensitive poodins here at our house. And then we have quite a few unsensitive poodins here at our house.
ReplyDeleteLuf, Us
It's okay to be scared, Harley! In our house, Derry is scared of a lot of things. He'll even run away if our mom approaches while carrying bags or some other large object. So he's a real 'fraidy cat, but we love him anyway, just as you are loved!
ReplyDeleteAwww! My Nixon is a big scaredy cat. He's afraid of balloons and cat nip bubbles, as well. :) Silly boys!
ReplyDeleteOh poor sweet Harley. And those photos are just wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAwwwwww!!!! Harley being scairt is okay!! Me and Clemmie get scairt all the time!! Loud noises and lawnmowers are the worst!! Daisy we just love the picture of your BIG mouth!!! Hehehehehehe!!
ReplyDeleteHowdy from your TX furiends,
Oh, we certainly understand. Sounds like Harley and Raymond are a lot alike. Wild and crazy on the outside, soft and mushy on the inside. We know you do your best to take care of him. (even if you did tattle on him!)
ReplyDeleteThat's ok Harley.
ReplyDeleteBrave Mancat stuff takes practice.
We are all scairt of some things....
ReplyDeleteHarley is way more complex than he seems on the surface.
ReplyDeleteOh Daisy are you a tattle tale? BOL Well guess what, Lily is just like Harley
ReplyDeleteBenny (& Lily)
Harley, Cosmo is a little worried too...you are in good company! It's of for men-cat to have a sensitive side.
ReplyDeleteDearest Daisy and Harley,
ReplyDeleteYou are well matched.
Love,
Theresa
It's alright that you are a sensitive Mancat Harley. We think that makes you even more endearing than you already are - if that was possible. My sisfur Isabella doesn't get skairt of anything but I do so I understand.
ReplyDeleteAngel
We all get scairt sometimes Harley, it's ok. And Daisy it's ok to be a tattle tail sometimes too, especially if it's for a good reason. I think letting everyone know that Harley has a sensitive side is a very good reason :)
ReplyDeleteEverybody's got somethin', Miss Daisy, don't they? I'm just glad Harley's got an understanding sisfur.
ReplyDeleteIt takes a strong mancat to face his sensitive side. We know Daisy is just trying to help you!
ReplyDeleteHarley it is ok to be afraid of things - and we understand that if you are uncertain about something you need to go think about it! We are all afraid of some things - we bet even Daisy is afraid of stuff. And we totally understand about the bubbles - they confuse us a lot too, and well some of us have run from them before. We think you are totally normal! Plus, the ladycats do like a man who is sensitive - so this could really get you a lot more ladycats interested in you! And if it makes you feel better our big brother Floyd (who was a very big cat) was afraid of ants! So even giant cats get scared!
ReplyDeleteYou are a sweet big sisfur to tell about Harley's scairtness. That way we can all be sure we not make him be sad.
ReplyDeleteDont worry that ya told, Daisy. Thats what Big Sisters are SPOSED ta do!
ReplyDeleteI always new he was a sensitive little guy so it's good you are watching out for him.
ReplyDeleteMiles and I have our skerrdy stuff too.
ReplyDeleteMiles hates the vaccuum and I hate loud noises like crazy, I also hate the doorbell. Miles gets freeked out by slippers too haha
bonkbonks to both of you!
We think that's a cow kitty thing! Kenji and Yuji are always scared of new stuff. And they're sensitive, and both Mama's boys. The tortie team here is not afraid of anything! We are so curious about everything!
ReplyDeletePurrrrrs, Keiko, Kenji, Pricilla & Yuji
I won't repeat a word of it.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on.
Hi, Daisy!
ReplyDeletePlease tell Harley to not worry about being scared for things. Lots of them scare me too!
I know you do everything possible to make him feel relaxed.
Take care
Kisses and hugs
Lorenza
::Whispers:: I don't care for loud noises either.
ReplyDeleteOh Harley, I am sorry that your sister some of your secrets. This is when I am glad not to have a sibling. Watch out she might start to blackmail you.
ReplyDeleteI luvs u bofe, Daisy and Harley. And ur hoomans. :) {{{luv}}}
ReplyDeleteI think Daisy is being a pesky sister!
ReplyDeleteOh Harley...love your "Balloon" eyes!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, Harley, we run under the bed to hide whenever we get scared so we understand...We adore your blog so much, it is always so fun=yesterday's comic was great too...We love you both, sweet friends...kisses...Calle, Halle, Sukki
ReplyDeleteSweet Harley. We hate to think of him being scared...
ReplyDeleteNor do we mock his pop-eyed look of panicked bewilderment as he gazes on that bizarre blue ball of air that's sitting on the floor in front of him.
ReplyDeleteHarley, maybe it's something about us black & white guys 'cause, as big as I am, I'm the same way. Mom says I'm skittish.
ReplyDeleteMax S.
AW.... oh Harley, you are TOO cute! Our Dakotah is like you; she imagines all kinds of scary things out of the simplest objects. She is tentative of even coming near newly washed towels (of course Tawnee is usually hiding underneath moving them....) ;)
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, Harley, everybuddy gets a little scairt sometimes!
ReplyDeleteOMG the balloon pic was hilarious.
ReplyDeletePussDaddy
Yoor description of Harley is just like Alfie Marshall. He is scared of efurryhting too. He's even frightened of his own shadow sumtimes. but we make sure he is safe too.
ReplyDeleteI is not scared of anything!
ReplyDeleteBut Kalie is. She do not like loud noises. Or cars. Or rains. Or winds.
