So that’s about half of Morcilla up there, after her first wet combing last night. And OMG she loved it. Then I tried it on the other two this morning (and Morcilla again) with mixed results. Loki and Morcilla swooned with pleasure, Luna was clearly just putting up with it. But afterwards all three of them were not only shed of excess fur, the rest of their fur was sleek and clean (ie, not dusty) and everyone was happy.
This all came about when fellow cat lover Nancy Li asked me on Facebook the other day if I’d ever wet-combed the cats, saying that hers loved it, especially on hot days. So I finally gave it a go and I think we are all hooked on this now. I met Nancy I don’t know how many years ago on the Slow Travel forum, and also met her in person when she and her husband visited Sevilla. We’ve been FB pals ever since. Once again, the power of the internet and social media, bringing people together and – bonus! – helping with your cat grooming needs.

But then, everything about Loki is big.
I’ve said it before but… going away is such fun EXCEPT for the very real fact that I can’t stand being away from this little monkey. It isn’t that I don’t love Loki & Luna, but Morcilla always makes my day, all day long. And when she’s not there, I feel it. I think she does too because since I got home she’s been staying close. Here she is destroying my new office chair cover while I catch up on Game of Thrones…
Of course Loki has no idea what a weekend is. Then again, neither do I.
