Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2005My 2 Anecdotes worth.
I told this already, but thought I'd share it here. I have a cat named Ruprecht. He is a large male tabby. Most of my neighbors think he is a hybrid dog of some sort. Ruprecht loves to munch! One night this winter past, we were going to bed and I stopped to check my news reader. When I stopped, he stopped (in the middle of the floor)...we kind of eyeballed each other He was trying to read me, to see if he had time to get in one more snack before snuggling in. It was cute as a pail of kittens! Well that's my story, I thought it was funny. --- Mean Time! --- I gave Ruprecht a bath a couple of days ago, two of them! The second one (a day later), was even easier. I have an old claw foot tub so the spigot is Just a small nipple, I put a length of hose on it. The hose has a plain Cut end, which gives a soft flow of water. He loved it! And the more I bathed him, the more relaxed he got. I leave the tub drain open, so water doesn't pool up. I set the temp to what feels better than warm to my wrist (Knowing that cats run hotter than us) and during the bath, I nudge the hot up a tad. I've never seen so much hair in a drain. > I told this already, but thought I'd share it here. > [quoted text clipped - 41 lines] > > I've never seen so much hair in a drain. What a patient kitty he is. Next time put a hairbrush over the drain. It will help prevent a clog.

MLB Thanks for the tip MLB I see nobody else liked my damn story. Hey it's a tad better than that other poster telling about a cat stretching haha I had to go under my house this morning, and disconnect the s trap, and run a drain snake through it...tooo much hair. I shoulda known better > > > I told this already, but thought I'd share it here. > > > [quoted text clipped - 57 lines] > and run a drain snake through it...tooo much hair. > I shoulda known better I'm curious as to why you bathe your cat? I've never bathed mine. Am I missing something? > > > > I told this already, but thought I'd share it here. > > > > [quoted text clipped - 66 lines] > I'm curious as to why you bathe your cat? I've never bathed mine. Am I > missing something? Everybody knows you give a cat a bath. They get all covered in cat spit. You never washed your cat? Come'on! Another reason, for real, I pet him all the time, he gets to looking kind of ghetto, and just needs a bath. He also prows at night, at least around these two houses. You've never seen your cats so shiny after they dry off and fluff up. And soooooft, you can barely feel their hair when you pet them. I mean, I don't powder his tail or nothing, lol, I just flip him on out the tub wet, give him a kick start with a dry towel, and off he goes. > I told this already, but thought I'd share it here. > > I have a cat named Ruprecht. He is a large male tabby. Most of my neighbors > think he is a hybrid dog of some sort. He has a cool name, very characterful, like its owner by the sound of it. I also liked the stories! Though I can only imagine the carnage if I tried to run a hose of warm water over any of mine. Deb.

S. Greenfield No carnage at my end, just a very wet, indignant cat, asking me what the hell I thought I was doing, spraying them with water! Actually Nina might put up with a bath, she's fascinated with water. She loves to watch me watch the dishes. She has this wistful look on her face as if to say "I wish I were a dish.."

And why does it go raw after it's been cooked? Enquiring minds want to know... Not that there are many round here, but you never know. Deb.

I don't know about the rattlesnake, A chef told me this. We was eating rattlesnake, and he tells us it goes raw in the fridge and needs to be re-cooked, there are other things, certain fish, I think eel and blow fish. I'd like to know too. >> > No carnage at my end, just a very wet, indignant cat, asking me what >> > the hell I thought I was doing, spraying them with water!

Same reason why rattesnake tastes like frog legs.... which tastes like chicken. :) Signature·.·´¨ ¨)) -:¦:- ¸.·´ .·´¨¨)) Laurie ((¸¸.·´ ..·´ -:¦:- ((¸¸ ·.· *~*LiveLoveLaugh*~* Aloha!!!!!

The tub is empty; so this takes stress off of him too. > Ah!
