Nothing Much
Tonight we ate the world's best strawberries. They were melt in your mouth sweet. No need for sugar, whipped cream, or chocolate. The local grower has fields of berries that are famous in our area for their superb flavor. I'm going to buy some this weekend and put them in my freezer. Unless I eat them all first.
The Contessa is having hairball problems. It's scary to have one of those green things chase me down the hallway in the morning.She starts running for her life even before the hairball remedy tube comes out of the cupboard . I've tried hiding in the closet, sneaking up on her when she is sleeping, holding the door open just slightly so she gets caught in the screen, and singing "I'm just a little black rain cloud." Nothing works. She's OUTTA there. (Any helpful suggestions - other then to take her to the groomer and get her shaved for the summer?)
The ingredients are mineral oil and barley malt syrup. Made in Forth Worth, Texas. (I've heard they have the BIGGEST Hairballs in the world there.)
At work today someone threw the local paper on my desk and it fell open to the classified ads. A picture of a big white cat in the "lost and found" tugged on my heart strings, so I picked up the newsprint to say, "oh poor kitty."
Thats when that word in the Help Wanted caught my eye. Of course I passed it around the office.
Do you wonder if you are the work *ss part of a team?

I hope it makes us famous.
Have no cats, and after reading that I'm glad I don't!
hope the hairball don't get you, poor you and poor kitty
Love the ad!!
That mixture doesn't sound too bad, can't you just add it to her food? I feed my guys food that's specially formulated to get rid of hairballs (seriously). Oh, and we call them furballs.
I think you're confused, they don't have big hairballs in Texas, just big hair.
living with 9 cats there are times it's like a mine field here.. tip toe thru the hair balls ! I had a cat long ago that loved that hairball stuff from the tube! It doesn't "stop" the hairballs.. but it does help some to get digested and helps them have an easier time when they do "up them".
Where there is hair.. there are hairballs. sigh.
they learn so easily to use the litter box.. to bad they can't be taught to drop their hairballs there too!
A hairball rememdy tube? Never heard of one. If green things chase people who have cats down hallways, I know now why I've never had a cat.
You should send the ad to Jay Leno. That's a good one.
Poor fur baby. Our Lucy never seems to have the problem but Henry does. Our first cat, Hannah, had awful times with hairballs.
We just gave her the meds mixed in her canned or on a bite of tuna...
Aren't strawberries wonderful!! They are so sweet this time of year!
Hugs,
Sue
I havn't really had any hairball issues with my cats this year I don't know if they are just building up or talking care of them outside (which I would prefer)
I might work like one for strawberries like that though.
Did you want me to add you to the Fun Monday list or wait and see?
As for how to post a video, it's easy with YouTube. If you find one you want to post, you look to the right and there is a field that says "embed". Copy and paste the code in that field into your blog (in the html mode) and your good to go. If you have a video of your own you want to post, you can sign up for a YouTube account, upload the video and do the same. Videos you upload to YouTube can be set at private, semi-private, or public. I hope that helps:o)
1. I smeared a dab of the hairball remedy stuff on his leg. He gave me a look like "what did you do that for?" and proceeded to lick it off. That way, he gave himself the remedy :o)
2. I purchased a metal fine-tooth comb and combed him every once in a while. He didn't seem to get many hairballs after that because I removed the excess hair with the comb.
P.S. the strawberries look delish!!
The ad was funny. I have no clue to help you with your fur baby.
As for TX, a lot of women do have big hair. *LOL* I have thick hair, but it is not big. Just really curly. It is a curse.
I rather not look at hairballs.
"work ass" part of a team... or..
work ass part of "a team"
I wonder if the HR person was trying to warn any potential applicants that they truly will be expected to work their ass off! lol!!
and yuck, the hairballs sound gross!
and yikes, the job sounds scary!

great post!
:)
I want those strawberries. mmm..
my kitties never minded the stuff, even licked it directly from the tube as I squeezed it. surprised that The Contessa disdains it.
our whole team is 'work ass' - asses for working for a company that prides itself on being world-class profitable while squeezing the life from us. work ass indeed! a telling slip!
Your first photo is beautiful! I could hang that on my wall.
Y'all just talked me out of ever getting a kitty for my boys, LOL.
I love strawberries!
Have you ever heard of the Furminator? Look here http://www.furminator.com/
The small one is for cats, dogs and even rabbits. I bought the medium one at PetSmart for my dog and I'm amazed at how wonderfully it works. Our dog sheds horribly. It's so bad we don't like to pet him often, but now we can.
Love your banana and strawberries photo :)
Hairballs and cats just seem to go together and Vincent offers his to us on a regular basis..
That classified is a classic!
xo
Fruit, my goodness we have never had so much fruit in the house before. The whole family can destroy a bag of grapes so I had to buy 2 bags. Plus 2 bunches of bananas and a watermelon. Oh, and a bag of cherries for me.
It's good though, my kids craving so much fruit is rubbing off on me and the hubs.
Your poor kitty, besides brushing her every single day to remove the excess fur... i don't know what to tell ya.
great, now I'm humming Little Black Rain Cloud, thanks!:D
she is pretty.
I feed Marv Purina ONE Advanced Hairball Formula dry cat food with yogurt. It's expensive but it keeps the hairballs away.
I cannot imagine what kind of hairballs he'd get if I quit brushing him daily.
strawberries look good!!
Those strawberries look delicious. The coloring is amazing!
