Tubby Does Still Help

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

I mentioned that Tubby used to sit on the sink in the morning and help me get ready, and how he doesn't do that anymore because he can't get up on the sink. Well, just so you don't think that just because he can't get on the sink anymore he doesn't help anymore, I took these pics.

Every morning, as soon as he hears the blow dryer, he comes on in and expects his morning skritchies, which he gets while I'm drying my hair upside down. But he doesn't leave when I turn upright again. Oooohhh no, he has to stay and help me finish.

And view when I'm done and ready to get dressed.

Then we both head to the bedroom to get dressed.

I don't know mom, that blouse doesn't really go with those pants, do you think?

That's much better.

Now give me one last skritchie and then leave me alone so I can take a nap, ok mom?

No problem Tubby, here you go <skritch, skritch, skritch>.
(anybody notice the "bundle foot" in the last pic?)

What I see are some back nails in serious need of clipping ;) :D

But they are attached to a handome fellow. :)

I know Jen! :eek: I've never clipped them in his entire life, so I'm a bit afraid to start now, but they really are starting to get long. I was thinking about buying a clippers and getting them done soon (hopefully this weekend).

I actually think them looking so long has something to do with his arthritis though because sometimes they don't look so long, and other times they're like this. So I think it's how he has his back legs positioned. But they still need clipping....:o

I am happy to see that Tubby is still doing his part around the house! I don't clip my cat's nails either, but they don't ever seem to get to long. I used to clip Raven's when she was a young devilish kitten, but she doesn't get into much anymore.

[sasvermont]

His nails do look awfully long! I would try to clip them, one at a time...little by little. I bet he would appreciate it in the long run.

Nice photos! Sorry to have focused in on the nail part!

He does look like he is trying to help. Quality time with MOM?

[CatMama78]

Tubby, you are a fantastic little helper. I bet mom always looks super stylish when following your advice :)

I'm afraid to clip my guy's nails too. That's why Mike does it, lol!!

[lizzielou742]

Oh, Tubby, you're such a handsome boy! What a gorgeous kitty you are, Tubby!! What a sweet kitty! You're such a good helper! Your meowmie loves you, did you know that?! *skritch skritch skritch*

Tubby's adorable face makes me talk baby talk!!

[jazzcat]

LOL, good one Slick.

Tubby you are such a good little helper. I have 2-3 of them myself when i'm getting ready for work.
He's such a gorgeous black beauty with just a touch of white on his chest.

[sirrahbed]

Great helper you have there!!! Mine like to help most when I am on the toilet:rolleyes: Do I really need that?
Tubby is adorable though and I am glad he helps you every morning:D

[kimlovescats]

Debbie those are probably the best pics I have seen of Tubby!!! He is GORGEOUS!!!! What a sweet boy to help you pic out your clothes each day! ;)

BTW, I would just get your vet to clip his nails for you! Then you don't have to be the "bad guy"!!!:eek: :D

Oh Tubby, it must be so nice for your mom to have such a sweet boy to help her get ready. :) But, I think she's using all her willpower to get out of the house with you sitting there looking so handsome. ;)

We have the same routine here - after my morning shower, Fister waits on the bed ready to cuddle, it's so cute. :p

I love the pictures, especially the forth one! :) I know how difficult it can be to photograp black cats, you have the light just right.

[catcrazylady]

ROFLOL!!! Tubby how great to see you helping your mom!! Those pictures are wonderful! Isn't it amazing how you can do most anything with a cat between your feet?
The pictures of Tubby keeping an eye on things are just wonderful!! He truly is a very very handsome kitty and then put that with the greatest purr I've ever heard and he is just adorable!! WE LOVE YOU TUBBY!!:D :D :D :D http://petoftheday.com/talk/images/our_smilies/biggrin.gif
