Distraught

[k9ophile]

Anyone else not able to see the pix? I uploaded them from FB, and generally, only my FB friends can see my stuff on FB, but Hilary can see the pix and we are not FB friends (don't know why, but we aren't). So I think it's at your end only ... but I'm not sure.

Our computer is on life support. DH wants to wait until the next version of Microsoft comes out before buying a new one. Then I remembered I have a tablet & I can see them just fine. He is so darn cute!

Oh good - then pretty much anyone can see them (except that this post is in R&R).

He is adorable - except that for the last few days, he has had episodes of the zoomies combined with becoming an under-the-covers whirling dervish/Tasmanian Devil, either just before I wake up, or as I'm dropping off to sleep - he DIVES under the covers and starts flipping and flopping and using his claws to rotate - and digging them into my skin in the process! We had to lock him out of the bedroom last night.

adorable pictures! I think that crazy stage is him being a teenager, good luck not getting hurt.

And then again, some of them NEVER grow up. And locking ours out would be a guarantee for NO SLEEP!

Oh, and it sounds like he needs a claw trimming. I have to do ours at least every two weeks.

 

[DianaCox]

Yes, he does need a trim - I took the big cats to the groomers last week to get their quarterly belly shave (to remove as much of their long, thick, unnecessary shedding undercoat as possible without it showing, to decrease the hair balls in their guts and around the house - and in our lungs), sanitary clip (they are long-haired and chubby/portly, so I want to make it as easy as possible for them to not have clingers and dingleberries), and to get someone else to clip their claws. Milo's fur isn't long enough yet to justify the expense, so I need my daughter to help me clip Milo - I hold, she clips.

I learned to clip claws YEARS ago...try doing 7 cats each time...

@DianaCox, has anyone ever told you that you are a natural teacher? I just read through this whole thread (so sorry about Loki, but glad you have a new energetic youngster making you smile), and in all you posted about Loki, I kept thinking, why would someone shave a cat's belly? And then you read my mind, and explained it. What a good idea that is.

Here is my daughter with 21 lb Onyx, who LUUUURVES having his nekkie belly rubbed - I think it makes it a tittie tickle for him eyeroll.

I'd give them lion cuts if my husband would let me, but he says it would embarrass them too much. So we sneeze and rub our eyes and pick up enough cat fur to build a new cat pretty much every day.

Yes, she most definitely is .....Actually, the Woman is a natural everything! She is also one of the coolest, most down to earth, smartest, funniest, carring people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.

That is a HUGE cat!!

 

[unavidanueva]

That is a huge and completely relaxed cat! He looks like he has been poured onto your daughter's lap.
