Family Email Conversation

Mom: I woke up this morning to Spud’s face one inch from mine and as soon as I opened my eyes, he started purring. I lifted my head a little and saw that he had his ass planted firmly on Dad’s face with his tail curled up and over. With the tube from Dad’s Apnea mask Spud looked like a Cat Gas Mask and I couldn’t resist the urge to take a picture.

Mom (later): I showed Dad the photo this morning and he was amused - not horrified.  He said that the air he breathes comes in from the tube so he was probably breathing decent air.  He also said that air exhales out the mask, which Spud must have been feeling.  Which adds a whole new layer of disgusting.

Sister (previous owner of Spud): It really is disturbing. One time Spud had a…butt-hair issue, of the poop-sticking kind. {Boyfriend} and I fought for awhile over who had to hold the cat down and who had to clean the hair with a wet cloth — hard to imagine which would be worse. Finally we made a plan but it turned out to be unnecessary to hold the cat down. Spud absolutely LOVED having his butt rubbed with a wet cloth. Which made things infinitely easier and infinitely more disturbing.
