Vaseline on the cat...

OK, so you all need to know that first off, I am a really good mom. I really do watch my kids very closely to make sure that they don't get into things... However, I have a two year old who operates like a stealth bomber and has arms like gumby. So, anyways, awhile back, as I cleaned and did laundry my stealth baby found her way into the bathroom to a container of Vaseline. Now before I tell you what she did with the Vaseline...I must tell you about our beautiful cat. Our cat, Oz, is a handsome thing. He is a Ragdoll cat with soft, long, fluffy hair. Oz has a great, easy going personality. He lets the girls dress him, put ribbons in his hair...you get my point. So, back to the Vaseline. Where childen are concerned, quiet is NEVER a good thing unless there is sleep involved. As I went to check on my little one, the first thing I noticed was a pair of greasy smudged hand prints on the door...oh wait on the wall, too. Oh crap! Where is she...? I hear giggling...oh crap...that's even worse. Now as I round the corner to our bedroom I am fully expecting the worst. And, sure enough, there she is, in the corner loving on the cat with her thickly coated Vaseline hands. I pulled her away from the cat and tried to put on my tough as nails mom face. Into the bathroom I go with her. I sit her in the middle of the bath mat and point my finger to express my disappointment with her. Then....I turn to the poor cat...which, of course, is when I could no longer keep a straight face. Poor Oz, frozen in the corner, covered with Vaseline.
Now we jump to the present day. The cat has been bathed SO many times...and still greasy fur and clumps of matted fur. I finally broke down and called the vet (who is also the person that we got Oz from.) Now, our cat with beautiful, long, fluffy hair.....will be BALD! It is the only way to fix him... Don't worry, I will definitely post a picture once the shaving is done...

Until next time...
