Hurry up, every buddy! We're going to the PARK!
I've got everything I need to visit nature today! I've got my Waffle Wagon, I've got my harness, my leash and my treats. I've got Glogirly. And most important (ok maybe not as important as Glogirly) ... I have my purr-tection: My flea and tick collar from the nice people at Seresto.
PURR-TECTION?
Why does such a fiercely handsome mancat need purr-tection? Even though we live in the city, just a few paw-steps from downtown Minneapolis, there's lots and lots of fleas and STICKS living it up in our... Wait, Huh? TICK season??? Ok, but there's still some good sticks, right? I was told there would be sticks.
Hangin' in the grass and weeds.
The park I'm at today is called Boom Island. It's a small park just across the Mrs. Hippy river from downtown Minneapolis. Glogirly says that the ticks can lay in the tall weeds & grass all summer long without a meal, just waiting for a handsome mancat like me to come along.
Like a good neighbor.
Glogirly says that some ticks are so close to home, they're practically our NEIGHBORS. Don't worry, George & Harriet from next door, I don't mean you. But watch out! Even on your patio, you might not be alone.
Glogirly says that anyone who likes hot and sticky summers is crazy. I guess that makes ticks crazy too on account of they love Minnesota in the summer. They don't like dry desserts though– I mean deserts.
Uh, did someone say dessert???
Uh, seriously. I'm pretty sure I heard 'dessert.'

Waffles, you get more adorable by the day. And Glogirly is 100% right...anyone who loves hot and sticky summers is nuts!!!
ReplyDeleteWaffles, you crack me up! Are you hiding dessert in your Waffle Wagon?
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful outing, Waffles! We're pretty sure there are probably some great desserts in Minny-sota, too!
ReplyDeleteSome ticks DO brave the desert. Out here in mostly-dry, desert-y L.A., the cat before me came home with a tick once. On Christmas! My human freaked out and called the Emergency clinic. I think it was the only time she's ever seen a tick. The cat before me didn't even care or notice the thing.
ReplyDeleteThankfully I have only ever found 3 ticks on Shiner in her whole life. They aren't in my yard too much, but we did used to see a lot of pets come in with ticks. We definitely have fleas though. And grats guys! I love Air Waffles video!
ReplyDeleteYou are FIERCELY handsome, Waffles!!! You are sooooo well-PURRpared fur the great outdoors. We are anxious fur your report on Seresto. Our mommy's crazy ... she loves it when it's 80-85* with a little humidity to keep her fur less skin moist! MOL!!! Bet Katie enjoyed having the townhouse to herself.
ReplyDeleteWe never got ticks or fleas, thanks to the awful stinky treatment Mum applies us every month. But if you're looking for some beautiful fleas, our 18 neighbors of the farm can send you some families for a free trial ! Purrs
ReplyDeleteAll that graxs. Looks like dessert to me! ~Wally
ReplyDeleteLooking good Waffles! Concats on the Pettie nomination - your videos always give us a smile! Purrs from the Zee and Zoey gang!
ReplyDeleteWaffles, that was an excellent PSA, especially as you were looking so cute in efurryone of your photos. It's a big bad world out there, and it is very impawtant to be safe at all times. XO, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
ReplyDeleteOMD, I didn't know kitties visited parks! How exciting. Maybe we can have a park playdate if you ever make it down to Texas.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty positive you heard dessert ;)
ReplyDeleteDessert? Where? Looks like you are having tons of fun out there! Glad you are protected from those fleas and ticks!
ReplyDeleteI'll have some of that dessert Waffles buddy..unless it's catnip cake!
ReplyDeleteDon't care for hot and humid either. Got to stay protected from those things. Have fun Waffles.

Boom Island is not that far from us, either! I am not an outside kitty, so I have never been there, but Mommy has.
ReplyDeleteHave lots of fun for me, Waffles!
QUINN
All I can hear is "saturday in the park I think it was the 4th of July"...ummmm Waffles you are having a lot of fun, but where was Katie?
ReplyDeleteI hope the dessert domes with whipped cream Waffles!
ReplyDeleteI bet you had the best adventure and I bet everyone you saw were happy and smiley to see you
ReplyDeleteWaffles you are so durned cute I can hardly stand it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your long comment which I replied to. It's tick city here in our English style gardens requiring extra protection for our boys. Waffles, don't worry about the neighbors unless they are dogs.
ReplyDeleteFaraday: WAIT. Nobuddy move.
ReplyDeleteWaff, you holding OUT on me? The only DRY Dessert around *my* house are Benito Flakes. GIMME!
I have only had one tick, but I get the icky flea and tick stuff on my neck every month. Don't tell anyone will you, that tick was right beside my spot #13. It was very embarrassing but mum said I was very good while she removed it for me.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your nomination. Too bad about the screw up over them.
ReplyDeleteI love dessert Waffles and the desert! Ticks are bad there too, I don't know why they think they aren't? Does your collar work good? I've been told they only work around the neck area? Does this one work differently?
Concats to you on your nomination!!!
ReplyDeleteOne of the reasons we don't go outside! We don't have to deal with fleas and ticks.
ReplyDeleteWe stay inside for dessert to avoid those desert fleas and they still find us, boo!!
ReplyDeleteI guess our Mom is crazy too cause hers said the humidity would help hers asthma/breathe betters.
ReplyDeleteWe lives in the dry desert where there really aren't fleas around....but where the Mom is from in the midwest, there were tons!
We is glad you won't bring any new "friends" home, Waffles!
Ticks are annoying and will eat your food … I mean they’ll eat you. Did the first part remind you of someone? Heh heh.
ReplyDeleteYou are very wise, it is important to stay safe and sound when out and about!

ReplyDeleteGreat stuff Waffles. Dad is thinking of getting me on leash training. I am not so sure but seeing a nice marmalade like you doing it... well...
ReplyDeleteWaffles, Scylla is thinking of trying that collar. We were wondering if it was comfortable to wear?
