I finally figured out how to get Mom to FURminate me more often. Here's the trick...you can use it, too:
I make sure she's busy doing something else like using the computer or just upstairs watching TV, or even reading a book. She does that a lot - that book thing. I tried reading a book but...I can't see the attraction. I mean, it doesn't even smell good!
Anyway, I go right up to her and either wrap myself around her ankes, mewing (not meowing - that's for getting dinner!), with my sad, "Why aren't you paying attention to me?" stare. If her lap is available, I get into...and nudge my head against her and play the sad-eyed girl as big as possible.
[here's a good pic of me flopping down... it's not me, I don't like havin' my picture taken, sorry...it's some other silly cat that likes havin' her picture taken... and she looks like she NEEDS the FURMinator!]
Then...because all of that is just to get her attention... I flops down on the bed and show her my belly! Oh yeah, that FURminator on my belly is heaven! She gets it real soon - "Oh, you want to be FURMinated?" she'll say.
All I have to do is blink. "Ya think?" my big green eyes tell her.








Still need to get one of these for my two little kitties... Right now my 9 month old son grabbing chunks of fur is the closest thing they get!
