It's Kitty Cat Maintenance Night [View all]

Wish me luck!

Bee needs a good brushing of his glorious winter coat. He sometimes enjoys it. He sometimes does not. We’ll see what happens. If left unchecked, his coat develops mats in his armpits and behind one of his ears, in his lion-like ruff. Why just one? No idea. The fluff maintenance has gotten better, in general, since Fifi has been helping him groom. It’s a lot of fluff for one cat to handle.

As for Her Highness, she needs her nails clipped. We’ve done them twice before and she was pretty good about it, but that was when she was less full of herself, lol. They are skinny, needle sharp little weapons she uses to knead lovingly on me, and wake me, every few hours throughout the night. I feel bad because she was trying to get me up today (she knows when my work alarms go off it’s time for me to get up… and the food dish will be refilled) and I was very grumpy and kept pushing her off of me and the bed. I might have even yelled at her. In my defense: It hurt!! I was hiding under the sheet and one nail left a little cut on my cheek. It bleed and there’s a small scab. It’s my fault, though. I should have already given her a trim. She’s petite, so her nails are very fine and I can use regular, human clippers on them.

Grabbed a bag of Shrimp Temptations before leaving work so they can have a tasty reward.
Unless it all ends in tears and bloodshed (mine, of course).
