I feel so very uninteresting and mundane today. But, as the others post about what should they wear and about their eyebrows and their swimsuits, and I'm just fine with that, why not post some random stuff?

Yesterday, I helped my friend, who breeds cats, to wash two of them for the cat show on the next weekend. My job was basically to just sit there and keep a hold of the cat. I came prepared with owen mittens, but still came out of it with two bloody scrapes and a puncture wound... For that, I got my friend to promise to give the de-worming medicine to my cat, because I suck at giving pills to cats.

We planned to wash a third one too, but because the cat was a fully functioning male with hormonal issues and a bad habit of not cleaning himself at all, his fur was beyond all hope. He wasn't going to the show, so we shaved him. I kid you not. The cat was a white Norwegian forest cat and shaved, he looked like a pink hairless dog! A pity that we didn't take a picture of him!

The person who I bought the 88 Nsync pics from mailed me and said that the package was in the mail and there would be a surprise in it. I'm eager to see exactly what I actually bought. Come, mail!

Ah, the joys of bathing cats! Sandels had to be washed after our stay at the cottage, and he was no more thrilled at it than usual. He's usually all right when there are two people - just looks pitiful and makes the occasional attempt to dash away - but if I wash him by myself he really squirms, wriggles and tries to get off. Even by means of climbing up my braid.

he he he... Wash a cat, invite a friend, make it a party! I mean, washing a cat with no assistance requires a water gun or something.

I've noticed it works best if you run some water into a baby bath, dump the cat in, shower the cat while holding it firmly, rub in shampoo, shower thoroughly, and voilà! It just eats time, because the cat will try to climb or jump off the bath. Mine won't try to claw or bite me, fortunately.

Post away! Your cat-washing adventures make me laugh. That's something I really wouldn't want to be doing. And yay for surprises!

thanks! I guess it's not about what you tell but how you tell the story.

If JC's gum is in there, I'm gonna laugh.

If there is, I'll sell it in eBay! Or keep it and sell my own gum instead ;)
