Cutting cats’ claws isn’t usually an ordeal, though it often depends on the cat, and sometimes it depends on the audience.
I tried to have some privacy to cut Indigo’s claws. She didn’t like the process and started complaining. Apparently Moxy heard this and came into the room, making his characteristic diminuendoes. This attracted Sable, who trotted up to the Mixer giving voice to her own hooting sounds. Valkyrie hurried in from somewhere; she dislikes Indie and began wailing at her. All of this caused Indigo further stress, and she cried and growled even more. I managed to cut all of her claws, but it was like sunset in the jungle, with every animal having his say before bedtime.
Next time, I’ll just close the door.
If you'd have recorded this, you might have sold the recording to a movie set for back ground sounds in a remake of Tarzan and the Apes.
ReplyDeleteHA! Yes, it can be quite the challenge sometimes...most of the times!
ReplyDeleteI know it was a serious business, but I couldn't help laughing at the thought of your audience.
