getting a cold

feh. i'm getting a cold. i've got a sore throat and i've been skirting that thick-headed feeling for a day or two.

bleah. i repeat, bleah.

it's the cat's ass, maaaaaaan

bonaparte had a serious case of "dirty cat butt" this morning. so i wrapped her up in a towel and took scissors and managed to snip off the worst of it. i'm staring at her now trying to will her to groom more.

groon, you stupid cat! groom your ass!

welcome to my world.

(no subject)

there was just a *huge* screeching yowl from one of my cats (nikita), followed by a quick hiss and spit and then all three cats went running out of the room and now nikita is puffed up to about three times her normal size.

a quick peek out the window indicates that, in fact, they've just noticed the grey kitty who sneaks up onto the back porch here.

update on the cat's ass, maaaaaaaaan

if you're thinking "shut up about the fucking cats", just skip these three entries.

well, the cat wasn't grooming her ass fast enough (and who can blame her) so i just gave her a bath. one bad scratch (on me) and numerous "oh my god they're killing me" yowls (by the cat) later, the cat is clean and damp.

which is bad enough, but then it turns out the poor thing looks and smells so different that at least one of the other cats isn't recognizing her. the damp cat is hiding now.

really, i can't blame her.
