Cat – Part 2

I gave up on the cat today. I figured it was well gone.

Not a big deal

We spent the evening watching the Gopher women lose the big-10 championship. My grand parents and my great aunt and uncle came over. Not because we are a lot of fun to be with (although I am sure that was part of it), but because we are the only ones in the family with ESPN2

As we saw my family out the door, we had another guest waiting to come in.

There was Spammers. (Very) Wide eyed, and rather hungry. She didn’t give me much “Howdy”, but made an instant route to the food in the basement. Once she was fed she started rubbing up on us (as cats tend to do). We noticed a few things. Her coat was only slightly dusty, so she hadn’t been spending the last 5 days outside. She may have been stuck in a garage, or may have been taken in by a well meaning “Saint Francis”. Either way, she hasn’t been exposed to the elements.

We did realize, however, that we didn’t want a cat in our bed/couch/house that had been unaccounted for for the past 5 days.

I gathered my 2 little girls, and the pretty one, and we locked the bathroom door and gave Spammers a bath. The girls got a big laugh as the pretty one held her down, and I sudsed her up.

There is nothing quite as fun (and painful) as bathing a cat.

Well… Spammers is back… for now. And Figaro is wandering the house moping.
