Miss Chloe............
I haven't had much time to read the group lately, so I'm sending purrs out
to all who need them. I *do* have a story to tell, though. (chuckle) We had a friend over this past weekend (I worked, but he's a friend of my hubby's so they got a chance to hang out). I got off of work Saturday night and wasn't quite tired yet. I had to do the "unwind" thing, you know. So, I was sitting up in bed reading, when I hear this shrill cat scream. It sounded like a cat being beaten or something. Then I hear "Christy, Christy!" from our friend who had fallen asleep on the couch. I ran into the living room to see Miss Chloe, arms stretched apart in crucifix position, hanging from the side of the couch! I had to lift up her body to ease up the pain in her shoulders in order to unclaw her from the couch fabric. We've always said that she's not too bright and this act proves it. There's a reason why we call her Miss Sticky Paws. This is not the first time she's gotten stuck, but both paws at the same time? Arms totally stretched apart? It alarmed me at the time, but I had to laugh my *ss off afterwards. She was no worse for wear and immediately ran into the back bedroom. I had to wake my husband up to tell him the story and we shared a great laugh. Maybe you'd have to know this cat to fully understand the humor, but if you knew all the dumb situations she puts herself in, you'd have a good chuckle, too. :~) kili Chloe's Catster page: http://www.catster.com/?184102 |

It was scary as hell because her yelling set Grant off and he got afraid and was trying to attack her! She gets that way and I just make sure her nails are trimmed. Just taking the very tip off helps immensely. Poor Chloe!!!! |

Trimming lasts fairly long too. Cat claws don't seem to me to grow very fast. Even clipping once every three weeks or so keeps things relatively neat. |

I have to take her to the vet to get her claws trimmed (at $35 a visit) because if she's held, she bites. She's so fussy! kili |

I wonder if there are pet groomers who would do this? It seems cost inefficient to have someone who went through years of school and has tons of medical knowledge clipping nails. |

I never thought of a pet groomer, believe it or not. Huh. I wonder how much one would charge for that? I'll have to look into it. Thanks for the suggestion. kili |

I think the techs at my vet do the clipping - I only pay $14 (which I thought was bad enough). |

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's the vet techs that do it at mine as well, but I still have to pay for the office visit. kili |

(When I think of crucifixes, I picture the crucifee facing outwards.) Probably not - at least I hope not. Maybe Miss Chloe would accept getting clippy-claws? Betty used to hate having her paws handled, but has gotten very much used to getting manicures. |
