Deodorizing the Fleasel

Toby slowly re-fluffing

                I hope Toby got a lot of pleasure out of rolling on something smelly in the yard.  The consequence was not to his liking!  Toby came in the house this morning, proudly sharing his road-kill scent. The sentence for such stink is an immediate sink bath.  Not only is it undignified to be stripped of your aroma, the resulting “wet cat” look is the ultimate humiliation.  Toby went from a magnificent full-fluffed animal to looking like a drowned rat on stilts.  It will be sometime before Toby forgives us and we're back on speaking terms.

                Let’s all learn from Toby—in life if you play with something rotten, at some point you need to be washed clean--and sooner is better than later.
