SuZee
SuZee is our Siamese cat. She is afraid of her shadow and throws up on the rug quite regularly. But, we love her anyway. Lately, a family of squirrels has been availing themselves of birdseed in some flower pots. SuZee watches them motionless through the window, but she doesn't get excited and cry as she does sometimes when she see birds.
I picked up a brochure with the title: "Grooming your Adult Cat." This is what it told me:
"Groom long haired cats daily!" Now, there is no way SuZee is going to let us push a comb or brush through her fur.
"All cats shed. Heavy shedding occurs twice a year, in the spring and in the fall."
SuZee sheds all the time. Today, I could vacuum a rug and fill the cleaner with gray hair. Tomorrow, I could vacuum the same rug, and once again, the cleaner would be filled with gray hair.
"Clean the outer ear with a cotton swab dipped in baby oil. Do not dig deep."
Yes, if I try to touch SuZee's ear with anything other than the tip of my fingers, she will "dig deep" into my arm.
"Dental Care" Forget that.
"Bathing your cat." Are you kidding?
This brochure obviously does not pertain to us. We can't even get SuZee to get into a carrying cage to get her to a vet. She senses what we are about to do and disappears for a couple of days. Luckily she is in good health.. and there are no fleas in our house.
Besides all that, she really is a nice cat, as long as you are nice to her. Just like humans, I guess.
Hey, ya wanna see a big cat?
This is my daughter Elizabeth's cat. She is so fat she can hardly walk. She likes to sleep a lot.
This is a real grumpy cat. He would scare our SuZee.
This is not a friendly pussy cat!
