Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2007Yesterday was National Cat-Washing Day
Attention USers! I meant to post this yesterday, but forgot: yesterday was "National Cat-Washing Day", at least according to the almanac that is read each morning, at the end of the 8:00 (AM) news broadcast on NPR. So, did anyone do anything to celebrate? :) I hope it was also National Hydrogen Peroxide Day and National IV Antibiotics Day. And from the same source, today is National Duck Appreciation Day, among other designations. It's also several International Days, but I didn't catch anything beyond the Duck Appreciation. Hmm... Peking Duck, anyone? :) Joyce > Attention USers! > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > So, did anyone do anything to celebrate? :) I hope it was also National > Hydrogen Peroxide Day and National IV Antibiotics Day. LOL! I can't even imagine trying to wash my two. I would be safe with KFC as I am already on the auntibiotics atm, but Boyfie would just faint clean away (excuse the unintentional pun there.) He seems totally unable to be aggressive with me no matter what I have to do to him so his best defence is to pretend it's not happening. Swoon. It's only pretend, he isn't unconscious but completely limp as he allows me to pick him up or give him medicine. > And from the same source, today is National Duck Appreciation Day, among > other designations.

I figured that Duck Appreciation Day had to do with *live* ducks, so I was being a bit, umm, tasteless). Just for the record, I'm not a fan of duck as a food. So you can rest easy where I'm concerned! Joyce > >> And from the same source, today is National Duck Appreciation Day, > >> among [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > tasteless).

Francis | So what you mean "Peking Duck, anyone?" | Francis I wish it was served in the area where I live, but unfortunately, people in SW Missouri do not know what good food is. > | So what you mean "Peking Duck, anyone?" > | Francis > I wish it was served in the area where I live, but unfortunately, people in > SW Missouri do not know what good food is. By the way, I Googled "National Cat-Washing Day" and came up with zip. So I have to wonder where NPR got that information. On the other hand, I did get hits for "National Duck Appreciation Day". Here's one: http://www.mywesttexas.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=18258282&BRD=2288&PAG=461&dept_i d=475626&rfi=6 Francis will be happy to hear that no Chinese food is mentioned. :) Joyce | Peking Duck, anyone? :) drool... >| Peking Duck, anyone? :) > >drool...

Heh, once was enough for me (when Mir and Cal had to be dipped in a ringworm medicine solution), and I had my sister to help me then. They can bl**dy well wash themselves. ;) > And from the same source, today is National Duck Appreciation Day, among > other designations.

They > can bl**dy well wash themselves. ;) I've been reasonably successful at this. The trick is total immersion. I run a human-sized bath, then put a washing-up bowl full of water in it. The bowl is for the shampooing, the bath is for rinsing the cat off. Have everything ready and then *quickly* carry the cat through to the bathroom and drop it in the bowl before it has time to get suspicious. Usually they're too surprised to react. ============== j-c ====== @ ====== purr . demon . co . uk ============== Jack Campin: 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland | tel 0131 660 4760 <http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/> for CD-ROMs and free | fax 0870 0554 975 stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, & Mac logic fonts | mob 07800 739 557 >Attention USers! >I meant to post this yesterday, but forgot: yesterday was "National >Cat-Washing Day", at least according to the almanac that is read each >morning, at the end of the 8:00 (AM) news broadcast on NPR.

And leaving it up to them ensures my arms won't get shredded. I've got enough cat scratch scars already, thank you! Duck Appreciation Day? Why did no one TELL me??? =o) Ah well, I did enjoy my dinner of Thai roast duck curry on Monday night. Melissa > Attention USers! > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Joyce Hehehe -- sure.
