[bksvol-discuss] Re: OT: Raising Cats

Fabric softener sheets also can do this.  But maybe u should get 1 of
those hairless cats.  I, too, have an orange tabby.  He definitely has
his own thoughts about what roles my husband & I should play in his
life & he's an absolute terror at the vets.  Grooming?  O, heck
no--not w/this 1, anyway.  Something 2 think about.  Try to control or
restrain this cat & you've got not furry purry presence but growlin,
hissin, spittin, screamin, bitin', scratchin' 13 pounds of royally p
o'd kittycat.  Just another perspective.  Having said that, he is
definitely a lot of company, gets in my lap every chance he gets.  He
won't do that w/Karl at all, preferring to play games & beg him for
food instead.  He will do neither w/me, except he plays a game we've
come to call tail zees, where he comes up, I grab his tail, he
extricates himself, does it again, etc.  But tag, hide & seek, throw
the mouse, etc., he's relligated to Karl's domain & being a lap kitty
to mine.  He begs Karl for ham or bacon every morning--whether Karl's
actually having that or not.  He just gets over by his dish & stares
at Karl, who is sighted & on whom that would have an effect.  & he
knows, btw, that it wouldn't affect me.

We got Rudy when he'd fit in the palm of our hands--now he's a mini
lion.  He initially had every parasite known to felinedom, but our vet
told us that after he got over that, he'd be really healthy, &, but
for some bladderstones, he was right about that.

If u have some trusted colleagues at work, u might let them know you'd
very much appreciate knowing from them if you've taken your pet w/u to
work that day, as it were.  Sometimes folks won't tell u cuz they
think it'll embarrass u, but if u let them know you'd appreciate it,
they can notify u discretely to apply whatever it is you've got handy
to remove the hair.  Good luck, & let us know if u decide to get 1 how
it's working.
