"Groomer Has It"

Aaaaaaargh! I accidentally got hooked on "Groomer Has It" on Animal Planet!

There were, like, 9 animal groomers and they had to groom a Himalayan Cat. They are VERY fluffy and can have a lot of attitude. They had to be very slow and gentle to brush them.

Then they actually GAVE THE CATS A BATH! The cats were so cute! They looked like little drowned rats --- from all fluffy to completely flat and wet.

Kathleen won the cat challenge (Week 5). You can't tell from the picture how matted her cat's fur was.

There was another episode where they had to design clothes for poodles! Look at Jorge and pick Week 4 to see his poodle cheerleader outfit!

And the groomers! They are quite comical. The girl named "Malissa" was such a ditz! The cat groomer told her not to scissor the cat's whiskers but then she did! Thankfully, she was let go.

Ok, I've to get myself some dinner then it's time to settle down and watch the rest of the Groomer Has It episodes before tonight's new episode!!!!

(OY! Audrey-kitty is parked on my while I type this --- she's NOT happy that I'm using both hands to type and no hands to pet her --- and she just gave a little kitty belch... KILLER BREATH!)

Ding dong!

kb-kitty and I are on the computer and watching Animal Planet at the same time. There was that commercial for "Fresh Step" litter that begins with the doorbell ringing (it's the bloodhound coming to visit the cat and find its litter box).

Well, the doorball rang on TV and kb-kitty LEAPED up to dash under the bed! I was able to calm her down and convince her that it wasn't a real doorbell.

After the Shower

I finished my shower and opened the door and in marched Audrey.

"Mom!"
"Yes?"
"Our food dishes are missing! And we're hungry! Where did they go?"
"I took them away because they were attracting ants."
"Well, we're hungry and we want them back."
"I can't... they attract the ants."
"We're hungry and they need to come back."
"I'm sorry."
"So, what are you going to do about that?"
"There's nothing I can do. You'll be ok."
"Maybe I'll be ok if you pick me up."
"Ok. I'll pick you up and park you. There. Is that better?"
"I said maybe I'd feel better... What kind of body soap did you use in your shower? You don't smell right. Let me groom your hand... there... that's much better. Hey! Move your hand! I can't groom my paw with you in the way!"

"Mom?"
"Yes, Arnold?"
"Where are you? What are you guys doing?"
" I'M parking with mom! It's not your turn yet!"
"oh. ok. I'll go play with the polka-spotted suitcase."

"Ok, mom. You can put me down on the edge of the bathtub. I TOLD YOU! --- don't WATCH me when I'm playing with the water!"

"I'm going to dry my hair then."

Love those kitties!

ooooooooooooooo

I'm being groomed

Right this very minute I have to type with just my right hand because my left thumb is being groomed by Audrey-kitty. She has her paw up so that my hand can rest on it while she grooms it.

Arnold and I have had a lovely day just slugging around - me slugging, him napping.

I took the sheets off my bed to wash them and Audrey-kitty jumped right up and snuggled into the tangle of blankets so that I couldn't make it again. Now that she's awake maybe I'll have a chance to make the bed. Well, not right now, because, although she's finished grooming me, she's parked on me and I can't move.
