The Sleek New Tubby

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

I bought one of those brushes that Ms Edwina has - shedding comb(?) - for T & P. Well, I can't believe it took me 17 years to find this wonderful, wonderful "brush"!! :eek: :eek: I cannot believe the amount of hair I got out of Tubby, and it's still coming! If you look at the pic of when Edwina was brushed, I probably had about twice that much from Tubby - and he's a short hair cat! :eek: And I keep taking him outside in the evenings and brushing him more, and I still keep getting piles and piles of hair! I was worried he was going to be bald, but that doesn't appear to be happening. And the best part is, this thing doesn't "bring up" the dandruff like a normal brush does. After brushing him with a normal brush, he practically looks white from all the dandruff. This "thing" not only doesn't bring up the dandruff, it seems to grab the stuff that's already there and it comes off with the hair.

I honestly have never seen Tubby look this good, and he's even softer now when I pet him. Even Terry noticed how soft he was and commented on it. So to celebrate Tubby's new look, I took a bunch of pics. He is in the same spot in all of them, but he was enjoying the breezes and had quite the sniff fest.

And now...announcing....the new & improved...Sleek New Tubby!

And here he is checking out the breezes.

This one is for his Samantha sweetie.

And then a bug distracted him from his romantic thoughts.

Looking good Tubby!! :D


Is Peanut next? ;)

You look so sleek all brushed. My Mommy tries to brush me but I don't like it very much. Maybe you can teach me how to tolerate it??? Oh Tubby, I've been looking at your pictures for such a long time and I just have to say that "I love you". You are in my thoughts daily and I want to give you my heart if you will take. Please may I be your cybergirlfriend???

All my love
Speckles

Tubby and Peanuts Mom,
I have found that my Mystic (short haired black cat) also sheds like crazy. I have 3 grooming tools for her and I swear she looses at least a pound every time I groom her. My neighbors have Mystic balls floating around in their yards. Oh well, at least the birds have wonderful nesting material.:D

Mystic wants to say hello to Tubby.

Tubby, what a handsome, good looking hunk you are. I know that Samantha is your sweetie but do you think I could be one of your sweeties too. I am enclosing a few pictures of myself. ;) Hugs and kisses to you. :o Love Mystic (AKA Flubby)

CLOSE!! shedding blade ;)

So glad it worked for you! I might have to pick up one for my critters. I've got a bunny that's sheddin' like there's no tomorrow!! :eek: I put him on his harness and took him out back for his nightly "butt scratch in the grass" ( :rolleyes: he LOVES his butt/hips/back scratched) and had CHUNKS of fur flyin' everywhere!

Now, can you imagine how much we got out of the horses at sheddin' season?! :eek: :eek: :eek:

[Lerah021399]

Tubby, you handsome boy...looking good {whistles} :D :D

I'll have to go get one of those brushes for Ali. She has the same problem w/ dandruff and she sheds like crazy. Any excuse to go to the pet store to look at the kitties!!:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[Barbara]

Was Tubby not the one to date Samantha? Oh I'm getting old and our kitties' lovelife gets too complicated for me.

Tubby now with your shiny brushed black fur you may look for some more girlfriends:D

[PayItForward]

Tubby looks great...Mmm I wonder if this miracle comb would work on my Georgie.

I am going to ask Steve (PaysForIt) to find a shedding comb for our Georgie.

[Edwina's Secretary]

Wow Tubby....see what a little special grooming does?!?!?!?....all the kitties are crazy for you! Glad the cutting comb has been such a success!

[Miss Meow]

No more Tubby? Now Slim Tubby? Slubby??? ;)

Maybe you should try that comb on Eduardo!

[Steffi N]

I recently got a wire brush and shedding comb with the alternating short and regular length teeth for Lovable. They make grooming easier, but I can only get him to stay still for so long. Tubby (no longer) you are very handsome in your new pictures.
Thank you Catlover4ever for the pics of pretty Mystic, too.

[Vermontcat]

Oh Tubby! You look so sleek and handsome and maybe even a little less tubby since your mom got you a new brush!:)
Samantha is a bit worried though that you are attracting too much female attention with your new look.
I am sure that Speckles and Mystic are very nice girls but she would rather not share you with other girl kitties.
(except for Peanut because she is like your kid sister);)

Here is a photo of Samantha with a little message for you Tubby.

She also says she loves this photo of you with the flower.;)

[NoahsMommy]

Looking good Tubby!!! I just love that sweet face of yours. :)

I am so going to get that thing!

[shais_mom]

I have a shedding blade for Keegan, I haven't really tried it on Kylie, Might have to!
Looooookin Good Tubby!

[krazyaboutkatz]

Tubby you look marvelous. :D I also have a shedding blade and it's also worked wonders on my boys. :) When I used it on Storm, I got a huge pile of fur. He also has dry flaky skin too. I could have brushed him all day and picked up more fur but I gave up. I also pick up a lot of fur with Sky but he's a wiggle worm and it gets him overstimulated so he starts biting. :eek: Sunny seems to really enjoy it and so does Cirrus. On a scale from 1-10, I'd give it a 10. :D

*whistles*

Tubby you are lookin good!... And so slim. I bet you feel about ten pounds lighter huh? Hope you had fun outside smellin the smells.,.... you sweet little tubster.:D

[Vio&Juni]

Oh Tubby, you look so handsome!

[Logan]

Tubby has lost his "tub"!!!! You look marvelous, Tubby, all sleek and shiny!! :)

[catmandu]

[HayleyRosie]

Complete with pictures.

[HayleyRosie]

Thank you very much. Now I just have to find one.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Thanks everyone. I told Tubby about all the girls swooning over him last night and he just strutted around like he was some sort of stud or something. :rolleyes: :D But later on he told me that he was very flattered and hopes he doesn't break any hearts, but his heart belongs to his sweet Samantha. And now I can show him the cute picture of her tonight when I get home. He will be so thrilled. :D

And he does look like he lost about 10 lbs, but in actuality he probably did lose at least 1 with all the hair I took out. I still can't believe it! :eek:

And "Slubby," I like it. ;) :D :D

[Ally Cat's Mommy]

That tool certainly seams to do the job - Tubby - LOOKING GOOD! (And all the girls think so too!)

Isn't this cyberkitten romance just the cutest!

[ChrisH]

Wow, Tubby, you are looking even more handsome than ever!:)

[slick]

My dearest Samantha:
Please forgive me for stepping on your paws. I did not know that Tubby was your sweetheart and looking at him I can understand why. You are very lucky to have such a handsome man in your life. I wish you both lots and lots of furrrever love! Someday I'll meet my cybermatch. All good things come to those who wait!!

Luv
Speckles

[Vermontcat]

Samantha forgives you Speckles.
If you would like to know more of Tubby and Samantha's history you can do a search on them here in cat general.
It all started last November when Samantha first noticed those great golden eyes in Tubby & Peanut's Mom's signature.:)
Samantha is so happy that Tubby will get to see her photo tonight, maybe she will post some new photos just for him later tonight.;)
