In other news, we're trying foot soaks for Mozart's claws, and hoping for improvement by Monday so nobody has to go to the vet. He's being remarkably patient about the whole thing, especially considering how much he fusses and swears about being brushed. Of course, there are COOKIES involved if he takes the bath treatment nicely... Hmm. May have to bring COOKIES into the brushing routine.

Today, FedEx delivered a big box o'books -- 15 Balance of Trade softcovers -- and very handsome they are, too -- 3 SFBC editions of the same -- also very handsome -- and two ARCs of Crystal Soldier. Very soon -- at SheVaCon, in fact -- we'll get to meet the hardcover Crystal Soldier and looking forward to it!

I had a cat (now deceased, alas) who had long hair which matted and an adversion to being dematted. The only time she ever got tuna fish was while I was dematting her. She would tolerate dematting for several minutes at a time if she could eat simultaneously. I became very efficient at doing so. When she saw me getting the dresser ready (near a nice bright window) she would hang about in the bedroom waiting.

I have one cat who doesn't care for the whole brushing thing, and usually tries to attack the brush, even if he's careful about not munching the hand that holds it. He also loves getting on someone's lap when their on the computer (and trying to lie down on their hands or otherwise make things difficult), sitting on books when someone is trying to read, and just generally getting in the way. I've taken to keeping a brush by my computer, as it seems like a win-win situation. If he wants to stay between me and my work, the price for it is tolerating the brush.
