Grooming Bandita

We were at Petsmart when we came across the all famous “Furminator”. It’s the revolutionary deshedding tool that has been making waves in the last 5 years designed to keep the top coat intact as it picks up the dead undercoat and loose hair. They come in different blade sizes meant for different uses from cats, dogs to horses but the patented saw-tooth remains the same. We picked the purple one which is used mainly for cats. This would be perfect for Bandita.



After reading the instructions, we made sure she was free of any matting and tangles by running a metal wide tooth comb. We then propped her up in an open area and started using the "Furminator".


Look at how much fur we combed out of her in 15 minutes. It may be expensive retailing $38 and change but it sure is worth it having not to struggle with cat fur again. Just 10-20 minutes every other day for a whole week will clear all her undercoat.


She was in kitty heaven – purring and lying down enjoying every stroke.


Now that she feels twenty pounds lighter, she wants more treats!

Introducing Scooter Libby

As much as I love my cat Bandita, I am proud to introduce to you the newest addition to our household - "Scooter Libby". She is a 2 year old cream colored Maltese and Poodle mix also known as "Moodle", "Maltipoo" and "Malt-A-Poo". We adopted her from a loving family in Summerlin through Craig's List on the 26th of July, 2008.


They named her "Scooter" after they found her scooting off the rug years ago. We decided to keep the name so we wouldn't confuse her as much but added "Libby" which we find quite controversial - she does try to bend all the rules with her cuteness.

She is very smart, sweet and is full of energy. Loves to sleep on the foot of the bed, goes nuts with her doggie treats, tons of wet kisses and snuggles.

She is just the perfect addition to our family. Bandita, our cat is adjusting: practically ignoring each other at this time. I know in time they will coexist - hopefully even sleep in the same spot.

Isn't she just cute! Cute overload!!! We are so lucky to have her.

Come see my cat

Last Thursday I started organizing my computer files of photos, video files, articles and old blogs. I came across photos of my cat “Bandita” taken not too long ago “dolled” up with a whimsical hair tie that I got from the Dollar Store. It was made of a material similar to tulle with pearl-like strands reminding me of Mardi Gras.


She was such a sport that she allowed me to slip the stretched out tie over her neck without flinching.


Here she is doing what she does best - being cute.


After 20 minutes of posing to the camera she decided that’s all she can offer and headed back to her favorite chair. Its a tough life I tell you.
