Why do cats need baths?

I'll ne leaving daddy and mommy soon

I am tired and have been sleeping more then I usual do. Right now our home is so quiet nobody is talking. Daddy and mommy just comes and tries to wake me up I open my eyes for a second but then fall back to sleep. I know daddy is sad right now and says he is not going to get no more kitties I understand he is hurt but I want daddy to know I will be okay I am just tired and my body is getting weaker. They gave me the best of years since I was 7 weeks old they gave me a home but I am getting older and tired. I don't want daddy to feel sad, I know mommy is trying to make daddy smile and keeps checking on me,trying to make me comfortable as much as they can but I am going to be okay I just want daddy to be okay. It is hard to see him just not feeling well and daddy feels so helpless, they are do everthing for me making me comfortable and being with my family. I need everybody to pray for my daddy and mommy they are going to need support when I finally leave.

Thank Goodness, my sister is starting to eat

I am getting use to her being around. I am glad she is feeling much better. I know and understand how she feels, I lived in a shelter too, until daddy and mommy adopted me. That was 10 years ago. I was 7 weeks when mommy adopted me and I also was afraid like my baby sister but when I started to trust my daddy and mommy they were like butter in my hands. I melted their hearts and still do. I am glad I am through all that kitten training, daddy had a lot of work ahead of him when mommy adopted me. They were patiances and showed me so much Love and supplied all my needs, that is what Love is all about when family loves each other. My mommy is a soft hearted, one day I got really sick, mommy panic and rushed me to the vet hospital, here it was only a hair ball, a belly ache. I am glad that mommy and daddy decided to adopt my baby sister from a shelter instead from a breeder or the store. I had another sister, mommy and daddy adopted Queenie(my oldest sister) from a back yard breeder. Queenie was 17 years old and she became very ill last year, the vet said to mommy that my sister Queenie had cancer. My mommy cried for days in and deciding what decision to make for my sister Queenie's best interest. The vet said to mommy that Chemo was not a guarantee so daddy and mommy had to make the decsion to put my Sister Queenie to sleep so she did not have to suffer. People don't think it effects other family pets, well it does. I miss my Big sister Queenie every day but I know she crossed the rainbow bridge and one day I will join her. It took a long time for mommy to get over my sister Queenie's griefing, we all miss her. Sissy was the queen of our family and the little girl, so now I am happy I have another sister Babydoll. I love my family, Meo-Ow Meo-Ow

Why do cats needs baths I ask my daddy?

I hate the grooming bit, don't care for water except drinking it. My water has to have ice in it, sure I am a picky cat, daddy and mommy says, but they love me. They adopted me 10 years ago, I was only 7 weeks old. I had a lot of spoiling, so I am spoiled rotten. Now I have a sister, her name is Babydoll, she came to live with my family 3 days ago. I am glad; we play together and since I am older I have to be the big brother that watches over her. Babydoll came from a shelter just like I did; so mommy says that makes us special. We both get our baths and grooming once a month, daddy grooms me and mommy grooms my baby sister Babydoll. I know when it is coming. Mommy took classes in grooming dogs and cats, but I am a big boy now I don't need baths but my parents think I do. Some times I can talk myself out of my baths, I do groom myself but daddy thinks I need a good grooming to keep me clean and fresh, he says jokely. When I am wet I look like a rat. Now when I get my flee baths from our professional groomer I get out of my baths. Why do cats needs baths? daddy answers and says because we need to be clean also, it shows we love you, meo-ow on that. I go to the professionals also to have my nails trimmed, don't like that either, again daddy says it is good for my own good. I am use to the vets, my doctor is very nice, she says for my age I am in still good health and very active but don't like those nasty shots they hurt, I know that. I have to keep daddy and mommy on their toes, keep them steppin. My baby sister babydoll has a lot coming, mommy loves taking photos, I be sleeping very quietly and here I am waking up to a flash, mommy taking pictures again. She says; she takes pictures because we do the cuties things and sleep the cutiest ways, are so cute and sweet when we're both asleep. Now since I am older I have been getting lazy, I sleep in front of daddy's and mommy's bedroom door. What can I say? I am glad for my baby sister because when daddy and mommy has doctors appointments I won't be alone now. I meo-ow them when they walk in the door from their appointments letting them know I missed them and glad for them to be back home. Mommy crate trained me when I was just a kitten so I love my crate but she don't use it no more I sleep on the kitchen floor it is cooler. When daddy buys that cat food I do not like I let him know. I never been outside, I did sneaked outside once, never do that again. Mommy frantic and scolded me, that I never go outside unless I am supervised. She says there are to many wild cats and other animals that may hurt me and if something should happen to me, daddy and mommy would be lost. See, I keep them on their toes and steppin. I share my toys with my baby sister Babydoll but we both like to sleep a lot, we're seniors we deserve it, in cat and dog years we're older then daddy and mommy by a year or two and us older folks needs our naps.However I do love when daddy brushes me down and pets me I soak all that in. Meo-ow everybody and have a meo-ow blessed day, meo-ow to all my cat friends and furry friends and all other friends. Meo-ow Meo-ow Meo-ow, love Sammy, mommy and daddy, babydoll
