They even cover their heads in the stuff. It's a mystery to me. I just don't get it. I try to exhibit proper bathing procedures in front of them all the time, but they continually ignore me. Is there any hope? I don't think so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34610954.post-42486067735832801482008-07-14T18:26:00.000+00:002008-07-14T18:26:00.000+00:00Yes, human bathing is a mystery.

Also, humans are woefully inflexible. Just listen to them creak and groan when they have to bend down to pick something up. Ok, ok that "something" might be me, but even so.. <BR/><BR/>Yep humans are stinkers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34610954.post-90236696311627350572008-07-14T11:17:00.000+00:002008-07-14T11:17:00.000+00:00Dear GeorgeI have accepted the uncleanness of my h...Dear George<BR/>I have accepted the uncleanness of my humans as another thing we cats have to put up with, I hadn't thought of how lucky we are that they don't have fur before, suppose we should be grateful for small mercys! I have a bit of a training achievment to share with you - having to force my human to type this as she's a bit embarrassed.... ok, a firm stare did the job, carrying on now - by way of background I don't accept getting picked up well, having made my disapproval clear this doesn't happen very often, also I will only sit on knees about twice a week properly when they have kept still in that position for about half an hour, not worth getting comfortable if they are going to move.<BR/>Being a stray has left me determined to do it on my own terms. My terms are - if the humans lie beside me I will walk up and down them, I like to be stroked and will also stand on my back legs in the morning as a concession. I sit where I wish and get visits and kisses plus - this is the bit I'm proud of and she's embarrassed about - I get her to groom the top of my head (hard to reach as we know) with her bottom lip as an extended kiss - she is very embarrassed to admit this but I don't know why as it shows good cat like behaviuor, also, I've trained friendly eyes narrow eyes as a way to communicate with her and I come over to the stroked dry when its raining - which is a lot of the time these days - can't we get the humans to fix that!<BR/>SmudgeUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11644269697651379733noreply@blogger.com
