"Naire" a Dull Moment ...

[kittytech]

Hey everyone. Okay, so I thought I'd tell you all about a rather
interesting situation that I got myself into yesterday. I was getting ready
to get into the shower so I could get ready to leave. Before stepping in
though, I realized that I was going to be wearing shorts and so should
probably try to do something about my legs. So, I grabbed the bottle of
Naire lotion and started applying it to my left leg. I keep my bathroom
door open when I shower partly because the litter box is in the bathroom and
partly because I don't want to deprive Cally of her chance to get wet. Taz
had been hanging around, kind of making a pest of himself, but I figured
that he wouldn't be a problem. I was wrong. So, picture this, and no, it's
nothing graphic or anything. Here I am, sitting on the lid of the toilet,
the lotion bottle in my right hand, and a handful of goop in my left. From
out of nowhere came Taz, and put his head right into my hand. Okay, so
normally this wouldn't be a problem, but I obviously wasn't thrilled that he
got this stuff on him. So the question of the day for me became, does Naire
work on cats? I was picturing this cat with a big bald spot on the top of
his head. I did what I could to get the stuff off of him, but that's not
exactly easy to do, plus he wanted no part in it. So, when I left a while
later, Taz still had goop in his fur. I was hoping really hard that it
wasn't going to make him sick, or even worse, kill him, but unfortunately
there really wasn't anything I could do to help him. When I got home last
night I saw Cally, but there was no sign of Taz. I wasn't too concerned,
only because he likes to hide sometimes. It took a while, but he did
eventually come out. He kept trying to keep his head out of my reach though
which was actually kind of funny when you think about it. Eventually I was
able to get him and take a look at his head. I am happy to report that he
still has his fur, and doesn't seem to have any goop left. So, the answer
to life, the universe, and everything is in fact, not 42, it's no. Naire
does not work on cats. SMILE!

Ah, but we can get 42 into it. I maintain that it does not work on cats forty-two times out of a given forty-three. I was wondering how that had turned out, and I'm glad it turned out well.

Oh, and an excellent pun.

Righty, then!

Interesting indeed! I must say, that sounds like something my younger kitty would've done. She's approximately a year old, and constantly into everything, as opposed to my four year old kitty who understands the word no, among many other things. Exactly how much did Taz get of that stuff on him? I can't picture that a teeny bit of the stuff, enough for him to get by brushing up against you as he did while you were using it, would do any harm. Glad everything turned out fine, though.

That's the weird thing. Taz is eleven, and you'd think he'd know better, but he still thinks he's two. SMILE! It wasn't a lot on him, but I had quite a bit in my hand when he stuck his head under it. It was probably a spot about the size of a dime though, give or take a little.

Aha, no wonder, then. Anything, be it cat, or human, needs more than a dime-sized blob of that stuff on them for it to do anything. Speaking of funny cat stories, I was sitting in my living room reading, today, when Princess, the older cat, curled up in a wicker laundry basket that was empty otherwise, and just decided to go to sleep in there. My grandmother came in, and laughed at her. She had been so quiet before, that I didn't notice her until my grandmother pointed her out to me. That's unlike her. She thinks she's a human and that she can talk.

I hate nare! It burns my skin really badly, and makes me feel kind of gross. Glad to know it doesn't work on cats though. Lol.
