Serves her right for getting a cat.

What’s a cat fur?

Ball of the Belle

We have a calico, so one can easily see her traces on ALL of our clothing and FURniture, be it dark, light, or in between. (We also have lint rollers in every room of the house, but it’s a losing battle.)

My friends had a Teacup Poodle named Susie. One day Rick came home from work, picked up the dog and quickly held her up to the ceiling. He was rewarded with a stream of pee running down his arm.

From mashing his belly?

Now she’ll go have a highball.

She’ll learn to hold him (or her) over her shoulder. I have a friend who does this during some informal Zoom meetings and it looks like she’s wearing a fur boa.

That’s a big furball, and I’m talkin’ about the cat.

hey, dogs shed too!

So, now, the cat is about 10 pounds lighter.

Coincidentally, I have a cat in my lap right now.
