Sunday - Critter To Do List

My critter to do list for today is fairly lengthy:

Emma needs a bath.  Unfortunately she has a pretty extensive vocabulary and when I told her about said bath she went and got under the bed.  What a brat!

The ferrets both need their nails cut - this is a two person chore unless you can get them when they are super sleepy.

Nigel needs his litter box changed and I think I will freshen up his cage by changing out the rug on the bottom.  He had his bath earlier this week and he got a new blanket in his cage yesterday.

Kitties need their back toes cut.  For Oliver this is a no brainer - pick him up and do it - he is very cooperative.  Zoey is pretty much the same - she doesn't much care.  Phoebe will let you do 2 or 3 if you are lucky - her's is a multi phased process.  Aggie - UGH - one at a time is all you will get.  Cat boxes need scooped and more litter added as well.

I should quit typing and get busy....
