My vet once told me to put a little vaseline on the cats’ noses to help with their hairballs. It drove one cat nuts, so she’d lick it off to get her nose clean, but the other cat looooooved it and would lick it off my finger before I could get it to her nose.

So either Murray isn’t as weird in that respect as you think or my cat is just as weird.

Three words I hope to never hear together again: Toby, Tub, Vaseline

Hey, at least he got into something that won’t hurt him for a change! :D My vet back in Michigan said we should give a fingerful of petroleum jelly to the cats to help with hairballs.

Wellllll…the one upside…is that if Murray is ever constipated, you know he likes petroleum jelly and you won’t have to buy fancy-shmancy cat laxatives, many of which are basically flavored petroleum jelly.

Luckily my cats figured out when I was pregnant and working nights that waking me up resulted in being kicked out of the bedroom and/or having a pillow tossed at them. Sometimes, however, my Russian Blue hangs outside my window and hollers to be let in so he can drink out of the toilet (? it’s not like they don’t have a clean water bowl) and curl up at the foot of the bed.

I love how all four cats claim starvation and abuse until I open a tuna can, only to have them nibble lightly and wander off. obviously not that bad off.

sorry about the lack of sleep; my two-month old has been depriving me, too.

p.s. my Russian Blue is hanging outside the door now. >.>
