Cats are so clever.<br /><br />The rat up-chucker was a huge, sweet long-haired orange and white cat named Damon (long since gone from old age). A couple of times we had to give him a bath, because his long hair at the rear got nasty. As he shredded our arms into bloodied strips and kicked water all over us and the bathroom, he wailed and howled in a voice meant to let the neighbors know they should quickly call the ASPCA. What kids can do, cats can do better.Paper Chipmunk (aka Ellen)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15014954266777016841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1976128754487941498.post-24407683428083925242013-07-31T17:33:27.989-04:002013-07-31T17:33:27.989-04:00The things I'll say for a cheap laugh...no, I ...The things I'll say for a cheap laugh...no, I don't bathe my cats, although my husband has proposed it several times.

Wow - I barely bathe my children, in fact the other day my 9 year old girl (who is a bit of a soap dodger) actually asked me if she could have a shower because apparently it had been days since her last bath. <br /><br />I quite like the royals but the coverage was ridiculous. I felt a bit sorry for Wills having to fit the child seat in the car for the first time under the full glare of the world's media - I am almost certain he didn't do it right. Prince George will probably get a bath every day though, so who am I to judge?<br /><br />V. funny post xxx<br /><br />floydmolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05285914897180786433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1976128754487941498.post-5665632037931980872013-07-28T08:10:31.762-04:002013-07-28T08:10:31.762-04:00Personally, I would rather hear about the royal ba...Personally, I would rather hear about the royal baby bump than the Kartrashian baby bump any day.<br /><br />My Mrs. is in England now and she says the royal baby isn't that big of a story over there.
