Guilty memories

Post by Julia »

After posing about my old Ginger cat we sat and shared some of our memories of when he was younger and we threw up this one.

When he had been out hunting one summer he came back with ticks. Hes always been easy to handle and so we layed him on the bathroom floor and while I held him my OH started to pick off the ticks and throw them down the toilet.

It's a horrible job and with just one to go my OH got hold of it and gave it a tug and Ginger nearly hit the ceiling. It wasn't a tick, it was his little nipple!!! :shock: Poor Ginger :!:
Free hens are happy hens. Chicken centreparcs now complete! The girls love it.

LOL it was his nipple, that is sooooo funny.
as soon as Spud sees the tweesers coming out he is gone, he knows that it is for one thing only. I can only imagine what he would be like if we tried to remove his nipple. I am suprised that the poor cat came anywhere near you after that!

yike* poor puss :shock:

We have a tick tool, you put the claws (like a claw hammer) around the tick where its attached to the animal, twist and pull and it comes out without leaving the head behind. (Not sure how it works on nipples though :shock: )

Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.
