KATIE: I want to thank all of you for your kind words and concern for me after yesterday's not-so-funny blog post. Life is complicated enough living with Waffles. Couple that with an unexpected trip to the vet and it's a recipe for disaster.
Earlier today, Glogirly lifted Waffles' quarantine... much to my chagrin. I kind of like having the orange terrorist contained behind a locked door. But I suppose all good things must come to an end.
So I've been making up for lost time by focusing on my beauty regime.
You would not BELIEVE how hard it is to get the smell of a fresh BATH off your fur.
That's right, I had a BATH. In the TUB. With WATER. And cat SHAMPOO. Did you hear that, Waffles??? I had a BATH and it's all your fault.
WAFFLES: *gulp*
When Being a Brat is Normal:
Displacement Aggression in Cats
If you're just tuning in, we published a very important blog post yesterday about Displacement Aggression in Cats and our own experience dealing with it. It's important because we think it may help many of our friends and readers overcome this very common problem.
Click HERE to read about what we've learned and what works for us.
The most important thing is that you're feeling better, sweetie. The townhouse needs to get back to normal!
ReplyDeleteKatie it is so unfair that Waffles was acting out and you had to have a bath! Ugh...
ReplyDeletePoor Katie.
ReplyDeletePoor Waffy.
I'm so glad you are both back to normal.
We're glad the quarantine is over, even if you aren't exactly thrilled about it. MOL!
ReplyDeleteAggression is not a fun thing, especially in your own house.
We hope you have a calm weekend.
XOXO
Waffles, you'd better go back to watching your back! Katie's back and she's bad!
ReplyDeleteWaffles, ya better watch out. I'd be mad if I had to get a baff.
ReplyDeleteAaaaaw Sowwy yous had to hav a baff Katie. But meez glad ous boff duin' better.
ReplyDeleteLuv ya'

I sense retribution - I get the feeling Waffles will be a changed cat.....
ReplyDeleteWell, I can dream :-)

Yup, that's what works for us too if it's a serious enough smell. They don't enjoy it, but do they tolerate it. It's one of life's necessary evils.
ReplyDeleteWaffles, you made the Boss get a bath. That's going to be serious payback.
ReplyDeleteA bath! Gasp....oh Katie! Well, I suppose you are super silky smooth now...I hope that today the normal routine resumes...we will watch patiently...
ReplyDeleteRun Waffles Run!!
ReplyDeleteGlad things are getting back to semi normal. Sorry about the BATH, Katie.
ReplyDeletePoor Katie! Vet visits AND a bath. She deserves lots of pampering and treats. So glad to hear that all the re-introduction techniques worked!
ReplyDeletexxoo

Well Waff..I gotta feeling that you are going to pay for this one little buddy..
ReplyDeleteA bath? Oh Katie! I am so sorry!!
ReplyDeleteI hope things are ok in the Glogirly house now.
]ღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
one word Waffles: karma.... she got a bath and you were ornery :)
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you are back to normal dear Katie. I so sorry it happened in the first place. Vet visits are pawful esp wif being drugged. Waking up not knowing what happened it tough.
ReplyDeleteI keep you in my kitty thoughts that you will remind Waffles - who the boss really is.
Love
Belle
Yes, we have one that does that too anytime someone goes to the vet. He has now earned many vet trips for no reason other than so he won't get aggressive with the other cats. Our vet acts like we are nuts.
ReplyDeleteOh no! Why did you have to have a bath? That is just plain unfair :(
ReplyDeleteWaff, I think you need to give Katie some of your Chicken to say you are sorry..
ReplyDeleteWe are so glad that things are back to normal and the kitty shampoo makes your fur shine extra nicely Katie.
ReplyDeleteAfter last night's emergency run with Ernie, I'm going to need those tips you posted yesterday. Wally is not a happy camper when Ernie comes back from the vet...and wearing a lampshade, to boot.

Run to the mountains Waffles!!!
ReplyDeletePoor Katie!
Have a nice weekend pals!
Oh, Katie, we are very happy you are feeling so much better!
ReplyDeleteNormal is much better. Have a great weekend.

Yay ! We're so glad everything is back to normal ! Sorry for the bath Katie ! Purrs
ReplyDeleteSoooooooo sorry you had to go to the vet & have a bath, Katie ...... What's The Orange Maniac going to do next?!?!?!?!?
ReplyDeleteI dunno! Waffles gets to go on vacation and you get to go to the vet AND have a bath! Life is so unfair, Katie! xoxox
ReplyDeleteWe agree with Austin...it looks like you got the bummer side of things.
ReplyDeleteThe Florida Furkids
We thought you girls likes all of that spa-ish stuff. But if you wanted to remove smells, why didn't you both end up with baths?
ReplyDeleteA bath...how unfair, but we must say, Katie, "You look meowvolous." Glad things are settling down again. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
ReplyDeleteKatie, I know that was hard and I know it seemed so unfair. But Waffles couldn't help himself. That didm;t help much but he was the one who had to leave everyone's company. Thank goodness you are all OK now.
ReplyDeleteWe are glad you are feeling better Katie, so sorry about the water bath, it does horrible things to our fur doesn't it. Really don't see how the people stand taking one of those every day. But Peeps are weird.
ReplyDeleteA BATH!! Yikes! Waffles you better get back in quarantine to get away from Katie! On a positive note, Katie you look all sheen and a beauty as usual, after a bath.
ReplyDeleteI am very happy all is well in the townhouse.

I am sorely disappointed that Glogirly did not share pictures of you taking a bath Katie! I hope you are recuperated from your illness. Love Dolly
ReplyDeleteSorry you had to get a *shudder* B.A.T.H. But if it got rid of all that stink and helped things get back to normal, I am sure it is worth it...right?....Katie?....Right??
