Torment the Cats Day!

[Mouse_Maven]

Yesterday, Mouse_Spouse left to go hiking – at my urging. I needed to clean the house. Spouse is great at doing his share of household chores, but there is “clean” and then there is “stress-out angst-ridden obsessive compulsive clean.”

Pity our two and three-quarters cats. The family felines suffered through strange sounds, awful chemical odors, and (dum-DA-DUM!) The Vacuum .

Then there were the individual torture sessions:

Jake , the only slob cat I’ve ever encountered, got a bath.

Elwood, the three-quarters cat, got a hinney-hair trim. He had developed a case of muddy-bottom. (Missing a back leg made this chore more difficult than one would think. )

Astrix , our youngest cat, was abused by his cranky elders and scolded by me. Poor guy. The whole day was either swats from the Grey Brigade, or being fussed at by me. Get out of the garbage! How the hell did you get into the teapot?

I hope they haven't trashed the house as revenge. ::fingers crossed::

I hate to break this to you; but I think Jake has a drug problem, probably heroin by the look of it.

At first I thought awwww, he's still damp from his bath. Then I realized that he doesn't bathe himself, does he? Is there a kitty NA?

Astrix is a real cutie! But that look is pure evil.

For the 11 years I have had Jake, he has never been a clean cat.

I caught him in a live trap along the levee in Baton Rouge, LA. Six pounds of cat and about a pound of worms. Poor guy. He's a great cat. Been a foster father to many kittens. (Won't groom himself, but will groom babies!! You could tell: they had wide wet tracks down their backs and sides.) Holds all dogs in contempt.

Every day is torment-the-cats day at my house.
