Sunday isn’t a day of rest for this cat guy. Andy and Dougy have their needs, eh?! Of course I get up very early because that’s when they want kitty food first thing in their long day. Then it’s nap time for the kitty boys. Later, it’s time for some loving.
A little petting is nice, Dougy thinks, though this is shedding time, as it is always with Persians…. The fine hairs on his head fly off just to stroke his head, so that gets tedious for cat and man very fast. That leaves “scritching”. Today, we did it on his body since the fur flew less than when I pet Dougy’s head.
Yeah! Dougy seems to think that’s just fine!
Omg they are beautiful!!
Andy and Dougy thank you!
What’s a little fur between friends? Kommando has very fine fur which seems to end up in everything, including food she has never been near to.
For sure! Amazingly, one doesn’t get furballs, too, eh?!
I used to use a soft hair brush on my Persian, “Footsie.” He grew to love that brush.
That sounds like a winning suggestion! I think that’s part of Andy’s problem with the brush I use. I’ve drawn it across my arm to get some sense of what it feels like. Though it isn’t too intense, I think Andy still finds it too rough.
Then there is the idea of a comb.
For sure.
Dougy looks very content.
He definitely is when he gets this attention!
hehe…we liked how you choose where to scratch the boys. It all depends on how much fur flies off. This sounds so familiar. I do brush the girls. Kali adores a brushing as is fitting with her status as royalty. Shoko doesn’t like it. She bites the brush and rolls back to do battle with it. Then Kali will stand up scratch her ear area and chunks of fur go flying, Lordy, I can do without this.!

Once again your kitties are mirrors of mine!
Looks like the petting won approval!
You know it! Dougy oftentimes will lick me while I do this, though neither kitty typically shows affection that way. (Dougy’s big on kneading me, for example, and Andy shows his approval by hanging out with me more than Dougy does.)
They are great boys, Doug, and I bet are a real comfort to have around. 🙂
That they are! I enjoy their little quirks, and look forward to being with them each day.
Hope you three are having a wonderful Labor Day weekend!
That we are, Jean! I should be working on cleaning the place and doing some washing in advance of a family visit later this week, but I’m satisfied I can make things presentable enough in the mornings and all day Tuesday till they arrive Thursday afternoon. If not…well, I’ll make some excuse! LOL!
I always claim that company makes for more housework, therefore I do it after they leave. 😉
That was my mother’s approach, too. The way I’m piddling around, I may end up doing pretty much the same!
It’s not a bad way. Much less stressful 😉 have a great day/week.
I did just that!
Good for you!
