Shaving the cat's butt.

Our cat Jewely, (who’s a ninja when we’re not home), has giant fur-lumps on her back that are slowly taking over her entire body. It’s like petting a berber carpet. We joke and muse that she’s probably Jamaican and is just sporting her rasta heritage. No wonder she’s so laid back.

Well enoughs enough. Those lumps have gotta go. We tried this once back in February. (See the evidence.) I held the cat down while Jen wielded the razor and had at it. This lasted for about a half an hour before Jen’s and my hands looked like we’d stuck them in a thrashing machine. Sid was going berserk trying to free Jewely from the horrors happening in the kitchen and Mira was confused about whether we were helping or hurting the cat. We wisely gave up and decided that we should bring Jewely to the pet groomers. And now many months have gone by.

So what did I do on Sunday? Shaved the cat! read more »
