Happy Cat Family

All that nom nom nom we do all day long... No, not the food nom nom nom... But the grooming and the loving nom nom nom... Since you are probably a human, let me show you what I am talking about it, so that we are on the same page:

As you can see, that is love nom nom nom... We also have the grooming/detangling nom nom nom, which is similar, but we do it on ourselves. We also nom nom nom to regulate our body temperature, since we don't have sweat glands... You get the picture - we do a LOT of nom nom nom... on the top of all that nomming nomming nomming, we nom our humans..... which brings me to.........................
We know our nomming is better than any spa exfoliating facial, besides the fact that it is free and readily available, but do you know why? Have you ever observed the perfection of the "feline grooming tool of the trade"? Well let me show you:

Isn't that the coolest and the wildest thing you have ever seen in your whole life? NO - don't you go having some weird idea of opening a "by kitteh Spa" - we are way too busy meditating about the problems of the world to be exfoliating the faces of your rich friends instead.
The point I wanted to make with those cool pictures is, as you can imagine, a lot of hair/fur get stuck on those hooks, and there is only one way to get rid of it: swallowing it..... So, do you see where I am getting with this? no? ok.... let me illustrate for you with the help of my friends at ICHC:

That's right H-A-I-R-B-A-L-L-S!!!
Think it's gross? You are lucky it is not you who has these stuck on you throat! So, from a kitty to a human (again, I am assuming you are a human, if not please kindly relay the message for you human, since he/she needs to drive to the pet shop), please groom your kitty often. Short or long hair, we shed; and I tell you - it is not fun to hack that stuff out... And If you ever step in one, I am pretty sure you won't like it either (even though you deserve it; if you groom us more often, that wouldn't happen...). Besides... we love being groomed... Noooooo that's no what we mean -you DON'T need to do it like we do duh! Your tools of the trades are different! You should have a good metal comb, and we here highly recommend the Furminator.... Now, don't you go nuts with it - research your kittie's breed for the best plan of action, and be consistent.... Meowmy Grooms us a few times a week, and uses the furminator once a week... When she sees we are starting to cough, she gives us this thing called butter. Happy grooming! Puuurrrssss and meooowwss.....
Bugsy, Hope and Lucky
