Torment the Cats Day!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

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 :eek: .

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. :dubious: )

Astrix , our youngest cat, was abused by his cranky elders and scolded by me. Poor guy. :frowning: 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. :eek:

'Nip, man. Its a gateway drug. :cool:

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. :confused:

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. :smiley: 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. :smiley:
