As Magritte gets older, she is becoming less interested in grooming which is resulting in mats – lots of them. She has also become very very grumpy about being brushed so its very hard to keep up with it. We decided to get her groomed but its hard to find a groomer that does cats. our vet recommended a mobile groomer which turned out to be fantastic!!
They come right to the house and do everything in the van. It took about an hour and from what they tell me Magritte did great! The groomer was very nice and listened to what we wanted, and any concerns we had (I thought Magritte might bite since she has been so grumpy lately). I highly recommend this service and will definitely use again, not just for Magritte but probably to wash all the other stink-kittens as well.
Before and After
Brutus on the other hand isn’t that much of a fan. Magritte came back looking and smelling different, and now Brutus has trust issues. Its been 3 days and he is still growling and hissing at her. The first day was the worst – in this video he is actually growling at Luna. He is such a drama llama. (best viewed with sound)
I ate at Meatheads the other day which is a gourmet burger joint. They really do have delicious burgers however I was reviewing my cup and noticed something disturbing.
Cow – they server burgers, I can eat this
Chicken – they serve chicken sandwiches, i can eat this
hot dogs – they serve hot dogs, i can eat this
people – I didn’t see this on the menu, i have concerns…..
If you didn’t know, my parents have moved to Arkansas. No one is quite sure why, but they seem happy so we just tell our friends they “moved south” and are vague about the location rather than admit to having relatives in Arkansas. (Hi Aunt Cindy!)
This is their first year there so they sent us some Easter treats. My sister, brother and I all got the same stash although mine was the only one covered in blood:
Typical Dad – getting hurt but powering on through the pain to get the job done! Also typical that he would see nothing wrong with sending me a package covered in blood. And before you ask how I knew it was his – it was on the inside of the package.
My brother’s response was “You must be the favorite”
My sister said “It is covered in the blood of the father”
They both think they are funny.
Besides blood, the package contained some Easter treats! But not real Easter treats, more Easter lessons in confusion.
The first is a tiny egg shaped Jesus. I don’t know if this is better or worse than cracking open an egg expecting candy. Regardless, I cracked with glee and my tiny egg shaped Jesus turned into a tiny egg shaped penis.
This penis/Jesus, unlike real penises/Jesuses, was filled with a candy necklace rosary.
Also included in my care package was this gem:
This is a grey egg (which let’s be honest, has to be special order. You just don’t normally have a use for a grey easter egg) in a foam backdrop that says “He has risen”. Now I knew it was supposed to be the cave tomb where Jesus was buried but I didn’t understand the scene. My brother then reminded my of the rock that was in front of the tomb which we think the egg is supposed to signify. Just like in the story, Jesus wasn’t inside when we opened it up. Instead it was a sharp plastic cross with a necklace hole. I assume you can use this one on the left over string from the candy rosary once you finish eating all your sins.
Finally, the centerpiece of the whole package was some room decoration stickers.
This product expects you to decorate your room with the scene of the empty tomb, guard asleep on the job, and an angle dropping trees on him. Also, that yellow splotch in the upper right hand corner is supposed to be a “ray of light” which is included as well.
When I finish putting it up, I will let you guys know.
I keep a glass for water in the bathroom and I usually keep it filled because the cats like to drink from it. Normally I empty and refill it before I use it but sometimes I lazy or just need a small sip so I drink after the cats.
The Other finds this disgusting. I told him it gives me power, and if he truly wanted to be part of the family he would drink from it too. Drink from the cup of life and become one of us! one of us! one of us!
So the Burmeses was changed to Burmeseys to Meseys and now they are just “The Measels”. Their antics are something of legend and every day I am amazed at what they get into together.
I can’t believe I have at least 18 more years of this!!!!
Both kept going on the counter so they got put in their “shame outfits”. I found them upstairs, sharing this heated mat, and pouting.
Here they are both passed out after running around the house like crazy chasing this catnip “joint” (canvas stuffed with catnip to look like a joint). And to think they were so close to victory!
And of course this post wouldn’t be complete without a picture of The Measels in front of a fire.
You might be thinking “these pictures are so cute, they are so well behaved” Well feast your eyes on this:
Yes Brutus is trying to chew the keys off the keyboard. Then gets frustrated and attacks Luna when he can’t. /sigh
