Bad Day for Boomer

Boomer on My Blog - Mon, July 02 2007

Yes, today has been bad to say the least. Why you ask? Well...first Dad called me a cheater while playing because I hide and take a running start when playing fetch. Secondly, he clips my nails while I sleep. To add injury to insult, he does it twice...one time for my front claws, and just when I went to sleep again, he did my back claws. Thirdly, he added Advantage to me for the first time. I know it's for my own good, but I couldn't stand it. So, I did something Dad never seen a cat do, to rid myself of licking the stuff and to rid myself of the wetness all together, I decided to roll myself in the litter. When I came out, Dad couldn't believe it because I turned from a black and white cat to a gray/white dusty cat. Dad decided the best thing for both of us was to start over. So, he took me into the kitchen and we did the act that should not be named! *whispering, "B-A-T-H" and shudders after spelling* Then, by the time that ordeal was done Dad was not happy because I wasted a treatment. I wasn't happy to begin with and the bath really made me mad. Dad overdone it when he put more Advantage on me and closed the bathroom door for an hour. If I could growl, I wouldn't have hesitated. Instead, I went to my window seat and sulked. Birds always brighten my mood, but today will be a tall order for my aviary friends.

Wow, I wish I had a litterbox. Instead, I like to roll all over a pillow or piece of clothing after my flea treatment to get my message across!

Oh, kitty, my heart goes out to you (and that takes a lot from me!)! You fetch? Hmmm... that's a new one from a cat. But it's feline nature to hide. How did Dad manage to clip your nails? How did he get them un-retracted? I guess my people have never even tried to mess with my claws! They know to fear them! I don't have a litterbox to roll in, but when I get my treatment I roll in the grass or rub against the furniture (hey, we have flea-free furniture!). And what an insult to even try G-N-I-T-H-A-B you! I hope you put up a good fight! And I hope the birds sufficed!

Wow Boomer, that does sound like a bad day. Your daddy is brave - mommy won't even try to trim my claws herself. She takes me to the vet and has one of the techs do it. Fortunately I don't have to endure the advantage stuff and I am glad. Hope today is a better day.

Oh man....that sucks Boomer. I hate it when mom clips my claws but I let her coz Bones does. I've never had a B-A-T-H before though. It doesn't sound like something I would like though.
