“Is that a furball on Dougy’s ottoman?” Andy queried me. It is a significant question because Andy wanted to go into the guest bedroom, but not have to go through Checkpoint Dougy to get there.
Uh oh! That furball is Dougy!
Andy wisely takes the recliner route to the destination, but he waits till Dougy isn’t watching to finish the trip.
This is what is happening when Dougy refuses to go to the groomer ! It must not be easy to clean this long hair !

No, it isn’t. It is a miserable job for a little kitty boy, but he had his chance for a trim.
I love the “Checkpoint Dougy”! In our house it is “Checkpoint Lucio”. No one wants to be caught walking by him, or on his favorite places. 🙂
I supposed having the kitty boys neutered would eliminated those sorts of behaviors, but they both have their little spots. Just yesterday, Dougy climbed up on a clothes hamper behind the kitchen chair I brought into the bathroom so I could sit if needed while ironing. Andy quickly claimed the chair as his as soon as I brought it in, so it stays there till I need it in the dining room. So, when Dougy hopped up on the hamper, Andy quickly hopped up on the chair and >bop! bop!< quickly let Dougy know he better not hop over onto the chair!
Lucio came to us neutered, and I am not sure how old he was when that was done. He behaves more like a cat who was older at the time.
Andy and Dougy were neutered at the earliest their veterinarian said they should be.
I think they’re getting too fluffy…
Not much I can do about hair growth, Dan. And they are Persian kitties after all! You won’t see any shortening till their grooming appointment in late September.
Oh no, they’re going to turn into a ball with fluff!
They are pretty much there! You have to work at getting down to the kitty.
Such a complex life living in a little flat ! A chap really does have to watch wwhat he is doing !
Life is complex. I am not overwhelmed by the complications so much as aware of them and deal with them as I need to. Because I am retired, I feel less urgency sometimes than others feel I should have. So it goes!
The boys seem to have simply worked out their strategies for dealing with it.
With a little help from their friend, me! Of course, the kitty boys help destress me as well.
That’s what they are there for, I m sure.
I think so, too.
