Tail of a naughty cat (and it's not who you'd expect) - the Rumblemum

A particular Maine Coon managed to dip his tail in some olive oil this morning! It was cold oil, sitting in a pan on the kitchen bench...

I think he took to heart all the times I've said "You're so squeaky, I think you need Maine Coon oil!"

He now has a very flat tail and the floors are like a skating rink!

Some random Maine Coon came in and made an oily mess? Hey, Rumblepurr - you didn't see who it was, did you? No, you were probably too busy being sweet, handsome and cuddly at the time. :)

Sparkle said...

Mmmm, olive oil! I bet it's gonna taste good washing it all off!

Sweet Purrfections said...

Oh dear, we hope it doesn't grease his internal "wheels" too much...ha ha ha!

The Island Cats said...

Rumbles, we bet you don't squeak anymore!

Cathy Keisha said...

Oh you poor thing! It reminds TW of when Autumn knocked a towel full of flour on her head. HAH!

Mariodacat said...

Yikes Rumbles - if you have to get into something choose TUNA instead. It's tasty and not so slippery.

Angel Prancer Pie said...

OMC! What a mess. Seems that you haf been set up! We know it wasn't your fault. Who could it haf been.....

Darwin said...

S'not your fault Rumbles! You was just trying to check if the hoomans were cookin' up tunas weren't you?

BeadedTail said...

After all that oil we bet you won't have any hairballs as everything is going to slide on out!

Angel MoMo and Charlotte said...

Uh oh, caught red-tailed. What to do?

Gigi said...

Is it nommy?

The Chair Speaks said...

My! That's a lot of cleaning up to do!

Cheyenne -Millie said...

Oh!! My dear friend! We hopes nobody slips on the oily floor!!

Fuzzy Tales said...

Guess there won't be any hairballs for a while. LOL.

If you have hardwood floors, think of it as extra shine. :-P

HH and The Boys said...

Oh..oh... "Clean up on aisle 4."

Oh Rumbles look at your furs!!!!!

Pumpkinpuddy said...

Ewwwwwwww. Your poor furs. It's gonna take a lot of licking to get your poor tail furs nice and floofy.

Angel Simba said...

Came back to say how cool it is that your team won the World Cup Rugby. We couldn't watch 'cause it was at 4 am, but as soon as Mom got up she check the web to see the outcome. See, she comes from a rugby-loving country too, though now has to settle for mostly baseball and "padded" football.

Random Felines said...

must have been some other maine coon....or the trouble maker in disguise - yeah, that's it. :)

Mr Puddy said...

Is that a good tip for shiny tail ? Tee...heh
Now I imagine Hamlet try to copy you ; )

Furries said...

You're lucky Rumbles. In our house, that story would have ended with a cat in the tub getting a bath.

PetMOZ said...

Ohhh wow.... Yummers. No more fluffy tail for a while....

Cats of Wildcat Woods said...

Wow - a bean skating rink!

Do stop by our Halloween spooktacular this week. Monday is the first post.

abigail said...

oh dear Rumbles! That reminds me of when I accidentally gotted baby oil on my paw and den it was all lober my entire body. Keep licking purrrrr

Backcountry Brodie said...

OMD! And the licking it off, umm, it did not make you has to run to the litter box or nuttin, did it?

Sam, Zorro & Bello said...

Extra virgin, cold pressed, we hope? No fur balls for a while then? Don't wander too far from the litter box now, will you Rumbles? So you can see who runs to use it. (nudge-nudge, wink-wink;)

Cat and DOG Chat With Caren said...

don't think that is what Rachael Ray has in mind when she says to "add a little EVOO" lol

blindmaximus said...

Oh, this reminds me of when we first got our kitties. I don't think it had been a week and ToPu got up on the STOVE and fell into a pot of cold (thank goodness) oil that had been used for frying. Covered his whole little body.
...But he's quite floofy and luxurious now, so who knows, maybe oil is the secret to a gorgeous coat?
