Thread: Cat Poop stuck to fur!!

Wow.......we're impressed! I've just been reading this thread out to my husband - and he wants to know:

1. What sort of protective gear do you wear for this?
2. Do you hypnotise the cat in some way, so you can clip round its bum without it suddenly developing sixteen paws all armed with claws and whirling like furry helicopter blades?

Seriously, though - Hobbes is HOPELESS when it comes to stepping on his offerings in the litter tray. It is like his paws are magnetically attracted to the poo. He just can't help standing in it while he tries to bury it and we have four Really Huge Trays too.

As to the bum thing, we only have a real problem if he has eaten a particularly laxative bug that has incautiously wandered into the cat run - then we take an end each (flipping coins to see who gets the business end) and then try to soak this with as much warm water as possible, followed by a good rub with a moist grooming cloth. This is then followed by a stiff drink (for us, not Hobbes).

Hobbes always looks so offended afterwards!
