Thread: How to groom a MC ?

“I gave my cat a bath the other day. . .they love it. He sat there, he enjoyed it, if was fun for me. The fur would stick to my tongue, but other than that. . .”

-- Steve Martin


Seriously, I'm glad MC Elvis likes the brush. I'd hate to have to wrestle him over it.

I've been considering trying to take him into the shower, but I'd have too many vital body spots exposed to potential shredding.

Well, if today's experience is anything to go by, all you have to do is run a nice orange Jo Malone scented bath, wait till the bath is all frothy and inviting, turn your back for one second and in they will jump all by themselves! My heart sank when I heard the splash but my little angel had also managed to get out all by herself, phew! She was quite happy to be wrapped in a nice warm fluffy towel and patted dry, she now smells lovely - job done! Not that she was the one that needed the bath really!

I have eight or so furrows running across my chest that are still healing at the moment
( I'll spare the group the picture... ) that bear testimony to my sense of fun w/ MC Elvis...


I thought that it would be fun to carry him outside and introduce him to a neighbor.

A different neighbor picked that moment to fire up their Harley, Elvis freaked out and clawed his way up my front.

At least he missed my face.

He only ran about 20 steps, didn't even climb anything, just turned and looked at me like "What's your problem?"

I picked him up, took him inside, and broke out the peroxide...

Oh joys,fair enough will let you off then,Elvis let you down though,thought with that name he would have luved the Harley,bet the old peroxide stung a bit....!

Thanks for all the information, I think Maisie's show days are over but I was curious as to the preparation necessary. Her new pastime is gardening she follows me around everywhere to supervise my work. I will adopt the more firm approach when next the comb comes out. Actually I think her first love is hunting, as I type she is pawing at the window wanting to go out in the dark I hope she gets the message that this is never going to happen.
