grit 4868 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Stuff Magazine Centerfold" 07-13-09, 11:25 AM (EST) "Desperate measures" So, how do you think my cat Gracie will look after I've fully shaved her? I just got diagnoses with Lyme again and I'm certain the tick came from Gracie. I'm thinking a good coat of polyurethane might be in order, too, just to be sure. So, tell me about a time where you were tempted to take desperate measures because something in your life had become unbearable. a berry nice sigpic from agman The blueberries are ripe!   Top

"RE: Desperate measures" LAST EDITED ON 07-13-09 AT 02:28 PM (EST) <Deliberately misunderstanding previous post…la la la la….> No matter how unhappy Gracie is with being shaved, scaling her would make her very much unhappier. (So is it to be a landing strip? Or a little Bermuda triangle? Something else?) This was a coded "shaving" thread, right?   Top

Snidget 44369 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 07-13-09, 11:44 AM (EST) 4. "Like this" Summer-Ag, and the living is easy. Can you get Frontline or something like that to help keep the ticks off of her/kill them before they get to you?   Top

grit 4868 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Stuff Magazine Centerfold" 07-13-09, 11:52 AM (EST) 5. "RE: Like this" Wow, that cat looks pissed. Capn’s Crop Circle Siggie Fest 6/09 Gracie wears a collar. The problem is she has long fur on her underside and she carries the ticks in still alive. Then if she jumps on the bed or couch, the ticks hop off and wait for me. If the ticks stay on her and bite her, the collar does its work and kills the ticks.   Top

foonermints 14531 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 07-13-09, 12:07 PM (EST) 7. "RE: Desperate measures" I ripped out all of our wall to wall carpet (no loss) and refinished the oak hardwood floors. I can't stand any nasty bloodsucking bugs, and given all the 'possums, squirrels, cats, and now birds wandering around the zoo here I don't think there was a choice. Tell Gracie the Sphynx look is currently IN.   Top

Max Headroom 10069 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 07-13-09, 12:53 PM (EST) 9. "RE: Desperate measures" Just make Gracie stay inside. That should put a stop to stray ticks getting into your house. And I hope you're feeling better soon. Capn2patch 2009   Top

Go ahead, Grit. You never know what you'll find under all that fur. Perpetual *headbutt* compliments of Rolly. Poor Grit. *headbutt*   Top

MKitty 2976 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Howard Stern Show Guest" 07-14-09, 02:18 PM (EST) 22. "RE: Desperate measures" Holy crap, how does one tattoo a cat? I guess it would have to be drugged or put to sleep for a while!!! *Summerized by Agman*   Top

Denalio 904 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Fitness Correspondent" 07-14-09, 11:03 PM (EST) 24. "RE: Desperate measures" Hopefully this is just a photoshopped cat! At least this is what I assumed when I saw this! Awe inspiring Tribe sig!!!   Top

dabo 26942 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 07-13-09, 01:07 PM (EST) 12. "RE: Desperate measures" Like a shaved cat. And not happy about it.   Top

kingfish 20752 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 07-13-09, 02:30 PM (EST) 15. "RE: Desperate measures" Another question is what will your hands and forearms look like after you've shaved her. I picture buckets of blood. Yours, not hers.   Top

cahaya 19891 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 07-13-09, 02:59 PM (EST) 16. "RE: Desperate measures" Yikes! Sorry to hear that you've been diagnosed for Lyme's again. We go out hiking a lot and this perhaps is the most important thing that we take extra preventative measures against.   Top

CTgirl 8013 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 07-14-09, 12:47 PM (EST) 18. "RE: Desperate measures" Sure fire way to keep you cat from getting ticks: buy an adorably cute and CRAZY Labrador retriever puppy. Watch her chase the cat all over the yard and house. Watch the cat retreat to the top floor of the house and not leave it for three years! Dog is now 7 and cat is 11. The cat has become resigned to the dog being around and will now come downstairs and socialize. But she's lost all interest in going outside. I'm glad because I still remember the time she was laying on my light blue quilt and I counted 15 deer ticks crawling on it. Ewww! I don't know how I have escaped getting Lyme but I am thankful. The dog has had it. I hope you caught it early and FEEL BETTER!! If I lived a little closer, I'd so be at your house to pick blueberries!   Top

grit 4868 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Stuff Magazine Centerfold" 07-14-09, 01:14 PM (EST) 19. "RE: Desperate measures" I was at one of my once-a-month clients this morning. The secretary was telling me she has a Persian and she gets him shaved regularly. Apparently there are people who specialize in this. Most people will sedate the cat before shaving them but the guy she uses does not sedate the animals. I was just kidding about shaving Gracie. I had no idea that people actually do this... a berry nice sigpic from agman The blueberries are ripe! Current harvest yield - approximately 6 pints a day. If my daughter helps me pick, only 4 pints make it into the house.   Top

dabo 26942 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 07-14-09, 01:32 PM (EST) 20. "RE: Desperate measures" Sedation shavery, I'm thinking this should require some sort of advanced degree. SMILES ARE FREE   Top

grit 4868 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Stuff Magazine Centerfold" 07-14-09, 01:48 PM (EST) 21. "RE: Desperate measures" Actually, I would expect that non-sedated shaving of cats would require some sort of advanced degree. a birthday present from agman And a good medical plan.   Top

aquariaqueen 2616 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Survivor-themed Cruise Spokesperson" 07-14-09, 08:24 PM (EST) 23. "RE: Desperate measures" Is it possible to make the cat an inside cat???? That should cut the incidences down by quite a bit.   Top
