Cat Forum / General Topics / June 2005Wet maryweather
I have mentioned before that some of my cats like to go out in the rain, stomp around in mud puddles, then come in and walk over me, the bed, other furniture, etc. Ordinarily they don't do this in heavy rain, but last night, Maryweather came in about ten minutes after the thunderstorm began looking like a drowned rat. I was able to fend her off long enough to take this picture: <http://gearbox.maem.umr.edu/tdavis/cats/2005/wet_maryweather1.jpg>. Half an hour later, she was dry, but not interested in walking on me. The other cats that do the rain thing waited until the storm let up before they performed the wet cat routine.  SignatureT.E.D.

Cute picture. Neat name. None of our cats every outside. However, our newest and youngest cat, Popie, likes to open the sliding shower door when I'm in the shower and step inside. She gets almost saturated by the spray, the hops up on a seat in the shower and grooms her wet fur. I think she particularly likes to get her feet wet.

Except for drinking. Except for going out in the rain so thay can come back in and put wet/muddy paw prints everywhere, mine also abhor water except for drinking, though some of them will wade out into a puddle to drink from the middle. Just turning the shower on sends most of them running - the ones not afraid of the noise vanish a few microseconds after the overspray hits them. SignatureT.E.D.

Neat name. She's named after a dog comic strip character (<http://www.dandyandcompany.com/cast/>) - her brother is named after the lead dog character, Dandy. Most of my cats that didn't already have names when I got them are named after web comic strip characters: Mudpie, Dandy, Maryweather, Avery, Ozy, Millie, Fleagor (Fluffy and Spooky are older than web comics; Tigger, Snowball, and CJ already had known names when I got them). When I was doing the naming, I had discovered web comics, but hadn't found enough cat characters - now I have over a hundred names of cat and pseudo-cat characters available. SignatureT.E.D.

What absolutely great names! Ours are far more mundane, although we do have a "Millie", (afer Mildred Pierce). The others are Mr. Bailey (after Rumpole of the Bailey), Margaret (after Margaret Rutherford), PeeWee, PeaNut, and Popie (just for the "P". :-) SignatureWayne Boatwright *¿* ____________________________________________ Give me a smart idiot over a stupid genius any day.

In this case (that you have enough names) you can go ahead and adopt a few more! LOL A serious question: Ted, how often do you worm your mostly outdoors cats? I feel I need to worm Micky once a month although he doesn't hunt. But every three months like the vet suggested doesn't seem enough. Then my cats eat all out of the same bowl, the vet says then the worms are catching via saliva :-( Carola |
