    I'm giving blood tomorrow!

    I just got back from Tar-get again...

    I really got tired of watching the Edster lie on the tile floor all day-just like a
    discarded sock.....

    So.......I bought him a pet trimmer!- Well, it's kinda for the both of us.

    I won't have to watch him suffer with a fur coat on during this heat.
    He'll be more comfortable...

    Me? I get to practice my first aid skills, learn how to staunch bleeding, disinfecting wounds and applying dressings!

    I do have 911 on speed dial already!

    Yeah, a furr trimmer.......It turns the Edster in a "pet trimmer"....

    He'll be trimming skin off of me!

    I did watch the video on how to trim a WIRE HAIRED dog....

    So....that will prepare me for trimming a RAZOR CLAWED cat? No?

    I used to shave Ellie. It is quite an interesting feat. I would have to do him in stages, as he would only tolerate it for so long. I have pictures where he has a mohawk, or his body is half shaved. I finally did get the "lion cut" down pat. You definitely have your work cut out for you! GOOD LUCK! Let us know how it goes.

    We use to shave our RB C-Fer with no problems at all and about 3 months ago we had to clip Nugget. Again, with no problems.

    So RICHARD, I am wishing you all the best of luck with the Edster and I'm glad you have 911 on your speed dial.

    I hope we get one of your fantastic poems out of this.

    Oh my good lord... you're trimming your cat yourself?! EEEK!!!

    You are a brave man. I call JenLuckenback and schedule trimmings for Jorgie. There's no way I'd ever be able to trim him myself.

    Do you have an area where you can tether him with a leash or something so he can't slip away?? They have them at the groomers. A table, with a pole to attach the leash to. I'd highly recommend finding something like that to tether him to before you attempt this. Unless he's totally laid back and doesn't mind loud vibrating objects coming super close to his body!

    I just tested him with the trimmer....

    I turned it on and placed it next to his back-he started to rub up against the
    carrying case and even gave me his tummy!

    I may survive this after all!

    -------

    One story about the Edster....the first time he went to the groomers he was O.K...

    The second time we had an appointment the groomer took the case, tilted it to peer inside...His exact words were, "I remember this cat, he freaked out on me!"

    Lovely, what every parent wants to hear. When he was ready to be picked up, the kid apologized because he was unable to trim his belly. He said, "Bring him back later and I'll finish...." I thanked him, gave him a nice tip and never went back.

    I just didn't want the kid to get hurt! He was a really nice guy and he tried, but I was really embarrassed!

    HOw's about a mediocre one to start?

    I'll try anything once, or a second time.
    What's the worst that could happen? I lose my mind?
    I've tried to be tough and not a wussy-
    I'll give it a try and shave my kitty.

    Do you REALLY believe the Edster will put up with that!! You must be joking!!

    Richard, you might as well give us the address to the hospital where you're gonna end up. And get your story ready for the doctors!

    The mere sound of a trimmer would have Fister freaking totally out, and I'd probably never see him ever again. Think twice about this!!

    How about putting on a wet glove and stroke him when the heat is getting too much?
