IBKFergus doens't quite know how to display affection in the normal catly
manner of purring, head butting or, indeed, sitting quietly on a lap,
meatloafing.

That would be *far* too normal for IBKFergus.

Just as Fluffy, depsite being a d*g, is quite sure she's a cat, I suspect
that some strange brain cell of IBKFergus must thing she's perhaps a d*g in
heavy disguise.

Her way of showing affection is licking.

I thought it was kinda sweet when she stopped trying to kill The Hand for a
few seconds and gave me a thorough washing.

Shmogg will stoicly ignore having his ears washed by the young whipper
snapper

Cary thinks its *hilarious* to have his own fur washed by his own personal
slave cat, but won't sit long enough to be cleaned *properly*. If only I had
my camera available at the times when she does it, its the most endearing,
adorable, and precious thing. Cary and IBKFergus are bonded just like ><
that, and it warms my heart to see Cat and Yowlet so close.

But I think IBKFergus has got her work cut out for her when it comes to
Fluffy. Fluffy, being a d*g, is very very dirty. Totally contaminated.
Disgusting. She has *dog spit* all over her, and IBKFergus tries very hard
to get it all off. But she'll have to be there for *days* because although
Fluffy will sit perfectly still (except her tail, which thrashes wildly in
pure hedonistic pleasure), IBKFergus is a very small cat and Fluffy is,
well, a rather generously propotioned large dog. With excess dog spit to
spread around her person at that.

Still, a cat's work is never done, and one day, just maybe, if everyone just
sat still and submitted to a Proper Cleaning, IBKFergus may finally get the
Chapman Clan is a presentable state. That is, with a perfectly good layer of
dried Cat Spit on them.

I hope she never discovers dry cleaning!
