Oberon, The Friendliest Cat EVER

Tangles Part 2

I'm still tangled and it's getting worse. Despite brushing and trimming, my tangles just won't go away. My girl person has been very upset because she says that she feels like it's her fault. It's not her fault, I think I'm just prone to tangling.

I heard my boy person say something about "clippers" and "shaving". I am not so sure about that. I'm afraid of the electric toothbrush! I will give you an update on Friday when this "clipping" is scheduled to take place.

Outside, At Last!

I am not allowed outside. This has been made clear to me on many occasions, although I do try to escape now and again...I can't help it! Well, today my girl person brought me outside. I didn't like it nearly as much as I thought I would.

She hooked a long collar thingie to me. She called it a leash. Since I have never been subjected to such horrible treatment before, I didn't know what to do. When she opened the door for me to go out, I just froze. I didn't actually believe that she was going to let me go! She had to carry me onto the porch.

I tried immediately to walk down the stairs, but she told me that I was allowed on the porch only. I was a little annoyed, but she did remind me that I didn't have to be allowed out at all. I decided that the best thing to do was to settle in for a nap in the sun under her chair. That was the right thing because she let me stay there. It would have been better without the leash, but oh well.

At least being outside was better than yesterday when my girl person and my Aunt Kori held me down and trimmed the knots from my fur. I hate having my knots messed with...maybe I like them that way. Well, there are a few that are really big and according to my girl person, they will have to be shaved. I don't like the sound of that. Now my fur is all patchy and Malachi keeps tormenting me. Maybe I should just clean myself better. Why should I do what my girl person can do better?

Tangles

So my girl person keeps telling me that I need to clean my fur more because she is always cutting mats out of it. Her sister keeps calling me Tangles and I think it's funny because I don't really care if my fur is all matted. I kind of like it actually because that means my girl person will pet me and then brush me.
(Note from girl person: He is easy to fool when I pet him so it enables me to cut the knots out of his fur that can't be brushed out).
It has been really warm, but I am always warm, even in winter because I have such long fur. My people have been nice and left the water in the bathroom sink running a little because they know this is my favorite place to drink water from and since it's been so hot, they have left it on for all of us.
My girl person told me tonight that she is going to let me sleep in her bedroom since I have been a good cat. I can feel a cool breeze whenever she opens the door, so I think it will be nice. Maybe she'll even snuggle with me!
