Andy and I had a very busy morning Friday. I put out the trash; Andy had a visit with his veterinarian for a follow-up blood pressure check; I took Andy home and gave him his chicken pâté with kitty medicine; I mailed a letter; I cashed a check at the bank; I bought a new pair of shoes to replace a pair that should have been replaced a year ago; I stopped by the sub shop for a lunch; I came home and started to eat when the doorbell rang; I opened the door and saw Andy’s groomer standing there!
“Didn’t you get my message?” Dodi, Andy’s groomer, asked. She offered to reschedule since there was either miscommunication or screwed up communication. I said it worked for me if she took care of Andy then, so she did!
The photo above is Andy post grooming. To my amazement, I learned Andy not only was a good kitty boy, his favorite part of the whole business is the bath! It definitely wasn’t his favorite activity when he was a poopy kitten. Then, he needed almost daily baths while he and his late brother Dougy suffered diarrhea that necessitated baths until they got over an internal parasite caused by eating a bad grasshopper. (Such a story!)
He’s part way in shade, of course. When he comes home from the groomer’s he always runs around the apartment and sniffs things to assure himself – I guess! – he’s in the right home. (He is. I can tell because the vacuum still needs some work so the carpet is in less than pristine condition.)
Andy decided to pose nicely!
Of course, Andy wanted to get that perfumey soap smell off his fur, too.
=(^+^)=
All news out of Texas isn’t grim. Chris and Pam report the purchase of a generator earlier proved to be a blessing, and Pickles (above) is enjoying the bookcase!
That groomer does a nice job. It looks like Andy’s ready for spring. Purr purr purr.
As fast as his hair grows, spring better be around the corner!
Oh what a handsome boy! I’ll have to pay him a visit!! *meow*
Meow-meow!
Meow!!!
What a cutie. 2 extra teaspoons of chicken pâté!💓🍮🍮🍂
Andy thanks you! “What a great suggestion!” he told me in Catinese.
LOL! Thanks for the translation key!
My pleasure!
Some of the news out of Texas is pretty funny … Every state has their Cruz to bear, I suppose …
Pretty much so! (Mine does, I know.)
Glad Andy is well-groomed and your friends in Texas are safe. Purrayers to everyone & every animal down there.
No kidding. They are getting some milder weather now, but the mess the cold left will still take some emergency help to work through.
What a day, Doug!
After his passage in the “hair club ” Andy is cute . This is sure .
I learn here a cat can go to a bath ???
In friendship

That’s part of the grooming service. After the bath, they get a nice, warm blow dry to fluff their hair up.

Always welcome!
I’ve unblocked R.S. According to the way Facebook is set up, once you unblock an account, it is 48 hours before you can block them again. I guess that’s a probation time for the person concerned…
You guys had a busy day and Andy looks fantastic. We use to have a long haired black cat (Roscoe) who loved water. Had some “delicates” soaking in the bathroom sink once—went in to finish them up, guess who was in the sink with them. Miss you on facebook.
Perhaps I can review my action. I did have to cut back on my time there, and the politics were getting to piss me off too much.
Andy manages to look poofy even after being groomed. That is an amazing amount of fur per inch
Not only is his fur ultra fine, it is much denser than mine, for sure! LOL! (I’m getting pretty thin these days.)
Andy looks handsome! Nice picture of Pickles, too.
Pickles is one handsome kitty!
Andy looks spiffy! I’m happy whenever I hear someone in Texas is okay this week!
Me, too. They’ve had a horror story to live out.
Andy looks dandy, Doug! Sweet kitty. 😻
I always am amazed how good he looks after grooming sessions since he tends to be an impatient (and uncooperative?) kitty boy.
He says, “Meow!”
