CAT'S REALLY DON'T LIKE BATHS

Today's excitement comes courtesy of Brianna and Milo. Apparently, Brianna got into Addy's makeup and goo-ed and spritzed Milo with beauty products. So, for the first time since we got him, he got a bath. He was not pleased!!! 

This is Milo after we dried him off really good and left him alone for 5-10 minutes. Still slightly wet, uncomfortable, and unhappy.

I picked him up and took him over to the sink. He knew something was up once I turned on the water. I flick him with water when he's doing something naughty, and I can usually deter him just by turning on the water. I would have liked to help keep him calm by holding him by the scruff of his neck, but that was where most of the goo was and desperately needed a good scrubbing. And he had no intention of sitting still and kept trying to claw me and escape. So I held onto his front legs, which kept him pretty immobilized and allowed me to clean him up. He got clean and I managed not to get even one scratch.

He is now mostly, if not completely, dry. I'm not sure if he's forgiven me yet, however.

In other news, I have completely switched all the posted blog posts from Wordpress to Blogger. And I have a plan to try and postdate old memories to fill in the blog where it is sparse or nonexistent. It's a BIIIIIIIG job. There is a lot missing. I figure I'll put up an overview of each month with pictures and notes. The times when big things happen- births, birthdays, deaths, special moments, etc.- will get their own post, but mostly I'm going to try and make it easy on myself to not get overwhelmed.
