So, just one question: why does my cat appear to be melting? Seriously, every time I go into the kitchen, tumbleweeds of cat hair go barrelling across the floor. I could make a whole new cat out of the hair I have swept up and binned in the last few days (and it would probably be a less annoying cat too, one that didn't keep trying to sneak up on the counter and sleep on top of the digibox). I thought that at this time of year she would be growing more hair and keeping it, building up a nice thick coat for winter. Instead she is shedding so fast I'm surprised she's not naked. Any suggestions?

Slobbing out
Husband is away on business, the boys are fighting in the upstairs hall quietly getting ready for bed and I have nothing to do except make some dinner and play stupid games online (curse you Facebook!). I have every intention of making an enormous pan of mashed potato with cheese and spring onions and then eating it with a spoon from a bowl on my lap. I know that this is a meal which makes any offering from McDonalds look like perfect nutritional balance in a paper sack, but I don't care. I love mashed potato, and I particularly love my potato ricer which lets me make said mash without having to peel potatoes. Because I really, really hate peeling potatoes. And the ricer makes beautiful creamy, lump-free mash. Look, I am going to have to make this post short, because I am making myself hungry.

She may be moulting her summer coat in preparation for growing the winter one. Lots of animals do - including humans (but most of us don't have enough hair that we'd notice).
ReplyDeleteThe mental picture formed by your plans for the cat hair has me shaking with laughter, especially if you use the left over mashed potatoes as filler.
ReplyDeleteIf there are any.
What on earth is a potato ricer?! Never heard of that one. But oh, mashed tattie and cheese ... Now there's an idea :-D
ReplyDeleteMashed potato and cheese? Sounds fantastically nutritious. You should see what I fall back on.
ReplyDeleteThe central heating is now on and its causing the cat to moult.
ReplyDeleteWhat's a digibox? And what exactly do you mean by "stupid" Facebook games? Your cafe, by the way is uber-cool. It looks very Californian. And speaking of stupid games, I heard you and Alison have been plotting against me. Just stop it, okay.
ReplyDeleteYou are a hoot, Loth. I'm feeling a bit down in the dumps and you made me grin a lot. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteOne of my old cats, Nellie, developed a flea allergy (not that she was especially prone to them), and started to preen her rather obsessively, until she started to give herself rather unattractive bald patches - so do watch out if you notice your cat adoring itself excessively, beware it might be itching itself excessively!
ReplyDeletePS: I laughed out loud about building a new cat - people in the Lothian bus LOOKed at me. Thanks for that.
