Easy like Sunday Morning

Lots of news at Furrydance...but for now, here's our ELSM contribution...

Thinkful Thursday

Our friend Fin, got us thinking about thinks...we mean sinks. Spot used to like to sleep in sinks, but ever since he caused a big catastrophe in late August 08, you know...Teri's never found him sleeping in the sink since!! But he (and all the other cats) do demand that every morning the first thing Teri does is to turn on the bathroom sink faucet so they can "fresh water".

How to bathe a cat

A blogging friend just asked me how I bathe my cats without them scratching the daylights out of me.


Well, with kittens,you start early, at 8 weeks of age. You do it monthly til they are 16 weeks old and leave their birth home here.


Then, as adult cats, it is something they are familiar with, like riding in a cat carrier or going to the vets.


Then, while they don't hold the shampoo bottle for you, they are pretty good about it!


The main thing is to be quiet and gentle, make it more like petting than scrubbing...but they still yell the whole time, but no scratching or biting!

Oh yeah, and it helps to have cats with little or no fur, but I do have one long haired cat, that's Spot and he is good about baths, too...just not about blow drying and brushing!


This photo of him is just after a "spa day". He is a Turkish Van cat, and while you read that they like water, I think it must come from someone seeing a hungry cat in Turkey, swimming for a meal of a fish, because he, even being an old retired show cat and used to baths...yells the whole time and would leap out of the tub if I let him!

Saturday Caturday

Saturday's are for naps.
Of course, cats nap about
15 hours a day, any day...

But on this chilly Saturday,
a blankie and a nap with
Teri would be nice!


This photo is from a couple of years ago, and promise
it wasn't posed, that is how I found the babies napping.

Our 3rd Bloggin' Award!

Someone thinks we're Kreativ! Well, we are resourceful cats, have Teri at our beck and call, so I guess they are right!

We think Teri does a good job telling the world about us, and well, our photos get lots o' comments, too. And our furs are VERY Kreativ!

We got this award from Ms Meir and her two Cornish Rex, Jake and Maus.

If you're into knitting, cats, coffee and the political jibjab that goes along with all that, be sure to visit their blog.

Here are the rules for the nominees:
1. Copy the award to your site.
2. Link to the person from whom you received the award.
3. Nominate 8 other bloggers.
4. Link to those on your blog.

There are many blogs I would nominate for being creative, but since this is my cats blog, all these bloggers have cats they talk about, but they aren't just cat blogs, sort of like Meir Cats!

and for those who want to know about the photo...This is Linus and his new friend, Tugboat.

But looks like they have become snuggle buddies in a short two weeks!
