Ed has been shedding at a phenomenal rate lately.
With the warm weather? He has some knots in his fur and I have taken to removing them with clippers, scissors or gently pulling them apart so I can get a brush through his hair. When I use a pair of scissors to clip the rough patches I sometimes get a negative answer from him and he struts off a little groomed and a lot bothered...
So far, so good?:cool
With this on-and-off style grooming, Ed will sit off to the side and take care of the 'loose ends'.
To me?
That means I have to vacuum and watch him closely for the hair balls that are to follow.
I know when Ed will blow chunks.. He wakes up from his nap and does this little mewl, go to the hallway -it he has time - and blows chunks.
I have old newspaper to shove under his nose and we have doen well with THAT form of 'treatment'.
Last night I left some newspaper by the recliner and when I went to pick it up this morning? I didn't see the small puddle of puke he left on the the edge of the paper and put my thumb into it.
I was totally stoked and happy, Maybe he has learned to puke on the paper?
I was so FULL OF MYSELF that I tossed the paper out and thought nothing about it.
On the..uh....HIS recliner I have placed a sheet across the seat and a large cotton beach towel down the back of the chair.
Easy clean up and maintenance?
I began to straighten up the towel and put my hand into a pile of puke and a giant hairball.......The towel absorbed the moisture and didn't let it soak thru..I guess he was asleep on the towel, woke up and tossed his treats on the seat.
I was happy, but, I forgot the cardinal rule of cat puke.
Ed will spew a giant hairball on his first try, them puke a little smaller pile to finish. The pile I found this morning was the secondary 'shot' - I should have known better and looked for the primary puddle!
This afternoon, Ed was looking like he wanted to puke again, so I grabbed a section of the paper and layed it out, he hit the paper AND my thumb.
LOL, he moved a little farther into the hallway, I grabbed another section and while managing to ignore the warm feel of 'Vasca de Gato' on my hand and managed to grab THAT mess too.
Man,
The things I do for love....
He just made his way in front of me and I gave him a huge kiss on the forehead.
I may just throw up a hairball myself.....
My lips are covered with cat hair.
