well Charlie is a longhair cat, and his "area" is always getting little bits of litter and ...poop, on it. and he is so aggressive to try to clean him, or cut his claws, that I had to take him to strangers. poor little guy, had to go to the vets with 2 of his sisters today, then to those strangers to get shaved and have his claws cut, when I picked him up his eyes were like saucers!
of course mommy knew he would be frightend and already had a toy for him. I waited til we got home and settled down and everyone had canned food, then I opend the pkg and gave them the toys, they all ran around and chased them! it was nice because sometimes when i give thema new toy they sniff it and walk away!
