Ever wrestled an 18.5 pound cat?

[LadyyRedd]

Saturday morning I had plans to go to a fairly local amusement park (King's Dominion) with my sis and another friend.

So I got up, showered, got dressed, came downstairs and fed the cat. Tossed my leftover sub in the microwave (from the day before's lunch) and proceeded to get the mayo and ketchup out of the fridge.

I dropped the mayo.

It came open.

I had mayo EVERYWHERE in my kitchen. Just gobs of it. INCLUDING ALL OVER MY PANTS!

Boy was I ticked at myself. After disrobing in the kitchen and putting the soiled clothes in the laundry room, I spent 20 minutes cleaning the kitchen. Then I rinsed my clothes out, put stain stick on them, and went to head upstairs to change.

Did I mention that the cat took off out of the kitchen when the mayo hit the floor? I then discovered that he had mayo all over his back. Oh yes, wonderful.

I went upstairs to change. Discovered that apparently the cat had decided to roll around on one of the steps after being spattered by mayo.

Changed and went back down. Cleaned the steps and then proceeded to try to clean the cat.

I can just picture it!

Our Bea-baby is just 13 lbs, but she's a handful. I can only imagine an 18.5 lb cat with mayo all over his back...

Blech - mayo . But this little tale had me laughing so much that I had to read it to my DH since we don't like mayo but love kitties . I bet your kitty's coat is all nice and shiny now .

 

[LadyyRedd]

Well....the top half of him is all nice and shiny! LOL

I had to wrestle my aunt's 20lb cat to give him a bath! not fun!

What the heck do you people feed your cats to grow them that big??? I have an 8 year old stray that I found as a kitten eating out of a dumpster at work. I would be surprised if she weighed 5lbs. She is very small.

 

[LadyyRedd]

Yes, we did!!! We bought Gold Season Passes, so we will be back. We were there from about 11:30-6:30. Where do you work? Feel free to PM me if you don't want to say publicly.

I adopted Rumpus at 7 years old (he's about 8 1/2 now). He was a big guy when I got him. The vet said he could probably stand to lose a pound, but that he's not overweight, he's just a big cat.

Brutus sez:

An 18 1/2 pound cat covered with mayo? Add some lettuce, a couple ot tomato slices, and a really big loaf of bread and then you've really got something - LUNCH.

I have the same model in yellow named Mort. Have wrestled him many times. He was neutered at 1 and still kept growing. We got him from the Humane Society (original name was Panama Red) . Haven't dumped mayo on him yet. Very Funny!! I feel for you!!

 

[LadyyRedd]

I've only had him for a year and a half - this was our first wrestling match!

I have a 16 lb siamese mix (Sebastian). He's not overweight, just really, really muscular and strong. When we rescued a kitten from a local shelter 2 years ago, she came with a yucky case of ringworm. So we had to give Sebastian an antifungal bath, just in case.

DH sat in the bathtub with him, while I tried to bathe the little bugger. Never mind the human-like screeching that probably woke the whole neighborhood up..... poor DH could barely hold him!!!
