Furniture, Cats and Water

[kokopelle]

I spent the evening moving furniture at the new house. The entire experience has been a real body work-out. Tonight I was moving furniture that I don't think I could have handled a few months ago. Self-serve gym!

Cats and water don't mix. I'm sure there are indigenous tales about why, but for now I have scratches on my hands from personal experience. I tried to give Emily a bath tonight and she would have none of it! Eventually I had to wrap her in a towel while putting soap lather on her. This worked until I handled the water. With much squirming she eventually ripped free of the towel. Oh well... I love her anyway.

My pal Ross not only bathes cats successfully . . . he can even build cat-proof fencing to keep them in.

I don't understand it, but he even bathes feral strays, if he can catch them. He talks about how he shifts his energy when he does it and says they struggle for just a bit, but then seem to go into a kind of limp state.

They are very very grateful afterwards. Especially the feral strays.
I don't understand it, and I'm really good at this sort of stuff.
