Wingman Bath (http://www.flowgo.com/rsubf.cfm?id=eglcsem8SljsxDtyb&l=95&p=18092&d=12-16-01)
I know several of you fly with cats around, here's a way to knock the smell down. ;)
-
isnt that the only way to wash them? :D
-
hehe ... not a chance
Try giving my cat a bath. If you come away without needing stitches, I'll give ya $100. ;)
-
Give me a frog gig and I'll take that bet. :)

our cats love getting wet. they always get in the shower with my girlfriend and i if we are taking a shower.
they also like drinking out of the sink while the water is running. ?odd cats?

?odd cats?
I think that's a bit redundant don't you? ;)

Fuzzballs Quandry
On occasion, my ex will drop off the Westie.. (looks like this)
(http://www3.sympatico.ca/lfazekas/Les7.jpg)
..which happens to take a dim view of cats in general; and in my new cat Fuzzball.. (looks like this)
(http://www.sobi.org/photos/Cat/Bakewell/BlackBakewellCat2s.jpg)
..in particular; since Fuzz rode the Westie around like a cheap potato on the last visit.
Anyway; I'm taking a hot shower when the Fuzz, in retreat from the westies reprisal raid for some transgression is chased into the bathroom... and onto the side of the tub outside the shower curtain. I've got my back to the shower head; blocking off the shower stream when thru the curtain comes Fuzz... with the Westie in hot pursuit.
Now, I gotta mention at this point that as the years go by; the sack seems to hang a lil lower. Probably not a detail that seems important to most folks; but right then and there that lil detail suddenly became a BIG factor in my mind.
Anyway; I now have a cat and a dog and my sack in close proximity; with a shower stream beating on my back and I realize that my life experience to this point has not been particularly condusive in successful solutions to cat/dog disagreement negotiations conducted by naked humans..
Fuzzballs Quandry: "..there's a lot of water in here, that stupid lil dog is in here and a big bald monkey thats staring at me like I got a knife, a habit and no future.."
The Westies Quanndry: ".. I got that nasty lil cat ailen critter cornered, and NOW I'm gonna settle the score.. BTW; ain't this the place I get a BATH.. I hate baths... "
The Bald Monkeys Quandry: "... if I mess this up; my gongs are gonna be filleted."
For one long second the three of us freeze; then we all explode into action silmultaneously.
I turn and reach for the shower controls and the jewels; which unblocks the shower stream..
The cat dashes between the far side of the tub and my leg (not UP thank god) avoiding as if by magic the entire stream of unblocked water ..
The dog starts to apply motive power in pursuit of the cat; fails utterly to get any traction at all and falls flat on her face..
..and catches the full force of the shower stream for the instant it takes me to turn of the shower.
Results... one wet very pissed off dog; one relieved bald monkey and one fast smug cat now perched on top of the refrigerator in the kitchen.
I'm happy to report my sack came through the entire affair unscathed; though it was about a half hour before my voice returned to its normal baritone.
Moral.. don't leave the bathroom door open when I take a shower, OR; a low sack; a cat on smack and a dog with a death wish is not the essence of a kewl a party scenario.

Old cat don't like water. We got 5 inchesof snow last night. Threw the kittens (3 months old now) out there, they kinda walked, checked feet, walked, checked feet and played around in it. Threw the 1 year old out there and he ran back inside. 7 year old clung to the doortrim and didnt go :)
Mind you these are indoor cats!

I like cats. People often dismiss them as thick in the head, cos of dogs being able to guide blinds or use an ATM (I saw it on telly). But if you treat a cat like an intelligent animal, it'll surprise you. I have a cat who tries to talk. If she had better formed vocal cords I'm sure she could. They are clever you know why? Cos they know we use sounds more then they do and sight, so they adapt to our way of thinking and our senses. For example..a cat will know you are in the other room by smelling you, but they know you can't smell them, so they make themselves heard or seen. They are cleverer then us, cos they adapt for us!
Also, they smell less (or not at all in some cases) then dogs. ;)
-
If you think they smell less than dogs, than you have never had a tomcat that still has all his equipment in working order. They piss everywhere! Territorry marking I guess. And let me tell you something, tomcat piss is one of the most horrible smells on the face of God's green earth.

Hug your cat after she wanders out of that little sandbox....peeeuuuuuu
'Course I feed mine chili :D
-
Cats don't smell??
Maybe if yah don't feed 'em cheeseburgers and fries.
My cats bellybutton certainly smells... she's sticking it in my face all the time.

My daughter was crying because her cat was stuck 40' in the air in a tree. I came alongside her, placed my arm on her shoulder, and we shared a quiet moment. Then I said the phrase I've been dying to say all my life in just such a situation."
"Relax, honey. Ever see cat bones in a tree?"
FDSS-
Get a short-haired dog.

Hehehe. One of our cats died recently at 16. In her prime she was one of the biggest cats I have ever seen(solid muscle wise) and thought she was a dog. Now, we have goats and had 2 dogs, both were large working dogs and goats are, well they're goats. If you've never owned goats you dont know what they're like. If you've ever seen a cat attack a goat you know the meaning of funny. If you've seen a cat chase a dog into the goat pen and then the dog is charged by the goat, well, it makes me laugh to remember it.
Our other cat is afraid of everything, probably the effect of living with the other cat for so long. On the smart front though, she's king. As FlyingThingySittingSomething was saying, cats probably think they can talk, the siamese sure does. Theres nothing more annoying than a bored siamese who knows you're home somewhere and is trying to find you. Loud, very loud.

I love cats, but there is no better friend than a Bull Terrier who always acts like hes stoned, jumps to the pool and acts all goofy, and won a fight against a pit bull.
rest in peace Duque.
Bull Terriers are the only dog I dig. Theres just something about them, like they were born to be cool, and they wont let anyone to take that from them.

A bit long, but another viewpoint...

LOL Kieran! I that yours or borrowed? Sounds like Homer Simpson...

Borrowed, but can't remember where. Seems like a George Carlin line... :p

I've got a mini-pin named Rommel. I didnt crop his ears so they stick way up like a bat's wings. He's my buddy... we're masters of nap taking and snacks.

ROFL Hang!! I don't have to worry about that with mine. The little girl won't even come into the bathroom, and the old boy just lays on the mat while I shower, and meows like mad when I get out. I think he's worried about me because I'm getting wet.
Hehe, the little one is responsible for no less than 1 auger and 5 missed shots. The auger came when I was low chasing someone and she jumped on the back of my chair. The missed shots are because she likes to attack my legs/feet while I'm working the pedals. Here she is after one of those moments.
