Spiffy Kitty House Call Cat Grooming
For fur soft as a downy pillow.
Try the “football” hold.
Tuck the cat’s body into your waist, with your forearm pressed against your cat’s torso and your hand under his chest. If your cat wiggles, use your other hand to hold on to the loose fur around his scruff (back of his neck). I call this the “football” hold because it reminds me of the way football players hold the ball when they’re running down the field.
I see this a lot. People afraid to really brush their pets for fear of hurting them. If you’re using a comb or a slicker brush, put some energy into it. Don’t brush like you’re 95 years old and living on a diet of yoghurt and cigarettes. Step lively folks! Cats are animals and so are we. Neither of us are made of glass. We survived the Kardashians. We can survive anything.
Henry Bergh founded the ASPCA. He was a cultured, sophisticated man of the world with a big heart.
I believe that many cats are introverts.
When I look at this poster, I feel as though the introverted person could be replaced by a cat and the poster would still make sense.
The artist does a good job of explaining how introverts need to be treated in order for them to feel comfortable.
