My longhair cat and her dingleberries

She hates me tuching da butt regardless. But it's always an adventure when a poo gets stuck to her precious booty fur.

First she streaks through the house. Then she lets out a few yowls. Then comes the floor scooching. Then comes me, trying to catch her and hold her down while I pull the offending dingle off with a paper towel. Then comes more running and yowling and not one lick or cuddle of thanks. Not one.

I got to step barefoot on a fresh poo last night - apparently a dingleberry that got loose. Eww. I couldn't even figure out which cat to blame it on (though I have my suspicions).

Lately I've been lucky to catch kitty before the berry comes loose from the butt. But I've had several occasions where I found a fallen berry in my bed - the hard way.

I couldn't afford it. They would have to tranquilize her first. She is the meanest cat that ever lived.

and lucky. Also, use a comb that has widely-space teeth and with a long handle.

I LOVE to see cat dingleberries.
I get giddy just even thinking about them.
