Things I Learned Today

[rolanni]

1. Do not ever, under any circumstances whatsoever, and especially if days&days&days have gone by with no problem, trust Microsoft Publisher not to screw you. (So, OK; I knew that. Call it a lesson relearned.)

2. If you shove in the catch tray of the Lexmark multiuse thingy over there on the work table, you will never, but never, be able to pull it out again.

3. There's a fandom for My Little Pony.

4. A device exists which is called a shedding rake, and boy does it get fur outta cats.

4a. This is the exact device Mozart has been telling me and telling me to acquire so he didn't have to beat me up every time I tried to brush him.

5. Even a late WorldCon will be upon you before you can adequately prepare for it.

Shedding Rake is just a fine toothed saw

Be careful with the shedding rake on cats. You CAN strip them, especially the longer haired ones, to the skin...oddly, with their complete cooperation! On dogs, it just seems to get the undercoat.

Ack! Thanks for the warning! I'll be careful not to over-spoil anybody, even though they all seem to love the feel of the little metal teeth through the fur.

Mozart especially went into this Zen-kitty thing; purring and offering his belly up to the blade. I'm thinking the best use may be as a warm-up, and after he's zoned get down to cases with the brush.
