Now that you've all learned about Fern and his history with us, let's get into the BoDee/Fern relationship. We've mentioned before that Fern is essentially BoDee's cat. We've come to accept that fact...but I'm not so sure Fern gets it. He seems to think that BoDee is HIS dog. Well, let me correct that, I'm not sure that he knows BoDee is a dog. Honestly, I think that Fern thinks BoDee is his baby. He takes care of him. He CLEANS him...and BoDee seems to like it.
He'll wander over to Fern and just sit down next to him, and Ferny will just start bathing him. Meticulously. I really think he does a better job of cleaning BoDee than he does of cleaning himself.
Speaking of which, I think Fern is getting to that point where he's too big/too old to really clean himself as well as he should, and I fear he may soon be entering that old man kitty stage. You know the one. There's this big old cat who just wanders around screaming at people, and his fur is in clumps on the top of him. I really hope Ferny doesn't get to that point too soon...but hey, at least his hair could match his Daddy's! I think I shall brush him when we get home, just to be safe.
Anyway, BoDee used to try and clean Fern as well, but I don't really like to have him do that. I have one pet that hacks up hairballs, I don't need two.
This morning, BoDee dragged himself out of bed to begin his morning routine, and we found him in the hall, getting a bath from Fern. He was really enjoying it...damn near fell asleep again. So we snapped a photo for all of you. :)
Now that I'm looking at it...I see that it could maybe look like they were up to something a little less wholesome, but I assure you, Fern is not attempting to sodomize BoDee. Just a little bath.
Have a great Monday, y'all!
