Gypsy helps in the kitchen, lending a hand with my curry, could it be cos there's prawns in it?

What a clever little girl ;D :Luv:
I think as Linda has Bengal palace, you should now be known as Persian palace :Luv:
You have a gang of little stunners and it must be great having all that extra fur to keep you warm. :)

Gillian she is beautiful............ i see her idea, she is planning to knock the prawns off the side with that fluffy tail (accidentally of course!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
-
Adorable :Luv:
I#ve always wanted a persian but can you imagine owning one who hated being groomed? :evillaugh:
-
:rofl: She is adorable :Luv:

Yep sure can! I had a rescue persian called Amber (who was supposed to be 24 yrs old when I took her on!) and she was dumped at a vets surgery in a terrible mess. She always hated brushes and combs, BUT she didint mind being bathed and blow dried - so managed to keep her coat nice that way. Sadly, many rescue persians hate being groomed because they've had bad handling in the past, or havent been groomed at all, so never had the chance to get used to it.
Gypsy loves being groomed - in fact Gypsy loves everything :Luv:

Yes, I like that - Persian Palace ;D

Is Gypsy,Suzies sister? They look very much alike. I am problably wrong but thaught I'd ask :shy:

No she's not, she came from the same breeder originally, but looking back through both their pedigrees, there are some of the same cats in the line, so there are similarities. I didnt have either of them as kittens, Suzie was 10 and Gypsy was 7 - Gypsy's pedigree name is Snushee 'Naughty but Nice' - think that suits her!! ;D
-
:evillaugh: I love that she's supervising the whole operation.
Come on Gillian, fess up... the cats run the business don't they? :evillaugh:
-
She is adorable, just like all the rest ;D I cant imagine 11 cats all crowding around under the feet and pusshing to get somewhere first................well thats how my birman two are :rofl: :rofl:
Do you have any hints of how to teach a cat that grooming is lovely, cos my Misaman hates being groomed and will attack me, I have tried bribery but he worked out in under a minute that he got a traet for being touched by a comb, so everytime the comb touches him once, he wants a treat!!
I have stopped that idea so we back to the baseline and tangles in th trousers...........sigh.

Is your spare room busy cos Gypsy is starting filming of her own Hells Kitchen? :rofl:

Sorry Gill, just realised you asked about grooming - well I would have suggested bribery, but I see you've already tried that one! Is it just the comb he doesnt like? what about brushes? Mine all love being brushed with slicker brushes. I realise that won't get the tangles out, but could start with that perhaps? What about teasing tangles out with your fingers - will he let you do that?
-
Hmmmm thats was a quick change of subject :shify: :shify:
Yes have tried brushes and he doent like those either and they literally only skim the top of his fur cos its so thick. Have tried working on the ummmmmmmmmm tangles with fingers but he knows exactly what I am doing and will spin round on me and grab!
Cos of the thickness and length of his furr he does really get a tangle just a bloomin mat! I can do thev finger thing with the birmans if I dont have a comb to hand cos their fur is like cotton wool and they like being groomed but Misas fur is more course where its black and soft where its white and its the black part that gets the problem.
He is a gorgeous monster but knows where every mat is grrrrrrrrrrrr.
If I am lucky first he will warn me with no claws but if I dont listen he will get claws and teeth out!

Haha, yes it was wasnt it!
Crikey - claws AND teeth?!! wonder what he'd be like with someone else grooming him? Its interesting the different fur textures - I used to groom a black and white bicolour and his black fur was more coarse.
-
Ok I'm not the sharpest tool in the box :Crazy:
Could you please explain Gillian :yes: :evillaugh:
-
All will become clear very soon! ;)
