I was in my blue mauve thing when I awoke with a start!! WTF? |
I've read lots of kittehs writing about the evil VC but have yet to run across any cat talking about my personal peeve: The Hair Vacuum! That contraption scares the bejesus outta me. Seriously. OK, nothing actually "scares" me but that annoys the bejesus outta me.
Not only is the hair vacuum every bit as noisy as the VC, it's also very very hot. TW yells at me if I come too close cos she claims it could burn me. I say anything that could burn the kitteh shouldn't be allowed in the condo. She doesn't use it often but she used it yesterday and got my fur all ruffled up and caused the following nightmare. Please don't let any kittens read this or they'll have nightmares too.
I was being chased by the tandem of an evil VC AND a dastardly hair vacuum (HV)! They had me surrounded! What could I do? I hissed! I spit! Still they kept coming. The HV was getting hotter! The VC was getting, er, suckier! Both were getting louder and louder! That's when I woke up … sweating.
Do your peeps use the Hair Vacuum? Do you think they should be banned?
Oh you poor thing. What a choice; burned up or sucked up.
ReplyDeleteWe don't mind the hair vacuum. Well, actually Princeton is scared of it, but Precious and I could care less about it. Our Mommy uses it every single day.
ReplyDeleteWe don't want to ban it, because we're afraid of how Mommy might look without it! MOL!
My human uses one of those every time she gets her hair wet. I don't like it, but it's not really that scary either. She has blown it in my direction and I just give her a dirty look and leave.
ReplyDeleteBeing a pet groomer (from home) means she uses that HUGE fur vacuum to dry the kitties who come for grooming. All of us THANK COD, it's them and not us. Whew.
ReplyDeleteI keep away from the VC, but I am not frightened of it oh no!! Just best to to be safe than sorry. The Staff doesn't use a HV. That would be weird!! At her age she says she's got more hair where she shouldn't and less hair where she should .. whatever that means!!??
ReplyDeleteVC is the hell. VC is evil. VC should be banned. Really.
ReplyDeleteOh poor CK! What a scary dream. Fortunately nobody use HV in our home, so only VC is something we need to watch out! I think HV should be banned to ensure peaceful sleep for kitties :-)
ReplyDeleteck...we had de werst nite mare onze in de day when we looked out de window N saw 84 bazillion BURDS on de lawn...N uz, with noe other window ta look out coz we wuz two lazee ta go ta de front oh de houz....
ReplyDeleteLuckily our Mom doesn't use one of those!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kinds words about our Clifford. We're still in shock and the thoughtfulness of friends really helps.

OMC! We totally agree that both should be banned. Mama has heard of a Furminator that hooks up to a vacuum attachment. That's just sick.
ReplyDeleteWhat a scary nightmare, CK! WE sure are glad you woke up before anything bad happened!
ReplyDeleteMoosey is kind of used to the hair vacuum now. He will even sit in the bathroom while it is going!
I just got home from MY nightmare.
ReplyDeleteHint: Begins with a V and ends with a T.
Let's just say that blood was drawn..and it wasn't mine!
; ) Katie
Mommy rarely uses her HV. And she has a little VC for small jobs and she rarely uses that loud thing, either. We don't have carpet, so no big suckie VC here!
ReplyDeletebrandi liked the HC. Huh!
QUINN
We take shifts keeping an eye on her...
ReplyDeleteOMC - not both at the same time? your peeps need to be reported for kitty abuse! One at a time is all that is allowed by anipal rules!
ReplyDeleteThe head peep uses the HV. Even though Ashton is afraid of everything, she will walk into the room when the HV is on. Probably because it's one of the last things that is a signal that it's about to be breakfast time...
ReplyDeleteOh dear Mom uses one of those crazy things too...well actually she uses both and we hate them just as equally.
ReplyDeleteNone of my three cats are really scared of the hair vacuum. But technically, the VC could be called a hair vacuum as well, because 90% of its job here is just that -- vacuuming cat hair. MOL.
ReplyDeleteWe don't mind that little hair dryer, maybe because it doesn't chase us around the house! Sorry you had an awful nightmare CK.
ReplyDeleteCK, the cat before us actually LOVED the hair vacuum and would let the mom warm his furs with it. Us? We stay clear of that noisy thing.
ReplyDeleteHoly COD, we'd be scared too. Well, except for Maxie - who couldn't hear it anyway so he doesn't count!
ReplyDeleteMy Human uses the HV very rarely--she usually air dries. And she uses the VC rarely too because she is so freaking LAYZEE! Actually, that's fine with me because I hate them both.
ReplyDeleteThe Armoire. Midnight. I'll bring the lever. Shhhhhhh.
We're so thankful that we don't have a hair vacuum in the house.
ReplyDeleteThe Paw Relations
What an horribel nightmare !
ReplyDeleteMe i ryn when I see the evil VC but I like the HV.
YES I know I´m a bit strange ;-)
Oh boy, Leo HATES the hair dryer! I mean, hair vacuum! You're not alone CK!
ReplyDeleteNow that is a scary dream. We're so glad that it was just a dream. Please pop by our Thankful Thursday post. There's an award awaiting you there. Happy International Cat Day. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Misty May, Mauricio, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo.
ReplyDeleteHair vaccums (or any for that matter) need to be banned from this country forever!
ReplyDeleteDo you want to hear the horror I have CK...Momz doesn't use the HV on herself, but she tries to use it on me! How dare she!?! When the VC comes out I retreat to my under the table hideout where no one can reach me...
ReplyDeleteNo, fear not, sweet darling.
ReplyDeleteNot that there's anything wrong with it!
Sounds like a nightmare my human baby would have lol. She is terrified if she just sees the vacuum. Unless I leave it out for a long time, then she gets used to it. She also doesn't like it when I use that hair vacuum thingy.
ReplyDeleteYikes CK! That is one bad nightmare for sure! My Human doesn't often use the HV but that VC is the one that scares me...oh yes it does, hope you still respect me as a Mancat...
ReplyDeleteI have learned to come, sit and watch her wrestle that eveil thing!!!
ReplyDeleteWooHoo that sounds scary. Can I confess, at this point, that I like being vacuumed - in a very low setting, Mum tickles me with it
ReplyDelete* grins *
I till run when its on full blas tho'
