Qatteri Cat Catches Up

Ha ha ha ha ha, Qatteri Cat! Take that! I’ll show you what it is like being awakened from a nice snooze! I’ll take your photo!

After racing around all night, rearranging the carpets and playing in places he should not have been playing, the Qatteri Cat is ready for a nap – and I am getting revenge for his nighttime capers! Actually, his fur is getting all matted, and while he is napping, I often take the scissors and cut out the badly matted hunks, and try to comb him so he won’t get so matted.

One of these days, I really want to give him a bath. He has come a long way in the four years he has lived with us. He is a gentle cat, a sweet cat, a snuggly cat. Underneath all that veneer of civilization, however, is still the WILD cat. All it takes is for him to be scared, tired, hungry or mistreated and all the wildness comes back to the surface. I know I can’t attempt to give him a bath on my own – I need to have AdventureMan with me to help handle him. In all these years, I have never given him a bath – I am a little afraid of him!

  4. Hi

    Just wanted to say this is the BEST blog ever – feels great, looks great and feels like a “conversation” (if that makes sense)

    I am considering a role in Kuwait and hopefully we can agree terms.

    Have a great day

  9. PetMemorialWorld – you cannot imagine. The street cat still lives on, deep within, and comes out when he is afraid. or hungry.

    Thanks, Ansam. Coming from you, it made me smile. I know you are NOT a cat person!
