Naughty Kitty!
I need to feel better about allowing my evil brat cat to roam the house. What's the worst thing YOUR cat has done?
Evil brat cat Boxer decided a long time ago that the dining room table belonged to him. I was not allowed to put anything on said dining room table, or I would be punished severely.
The very first time he ever did it was with my CRUISE tickets to Alaska!!! This was about four years ago. I had just gotten them in the mail, was totally excited over them. Sat at the dining room table to look through everything for a while. Then left them there, along with the rest of my massive pile of junkmail.
The next day, my cruise tickets were yellow. How on earth did he manage to figure out what exactly would raise my ire most, out of that whole pile of mail?!?!?
I literally washed everything in the sink and let it dry outside in the sun. Was able to get rid of the yellowy appearance and the clerk accepting them at the cruise line never said a word about them being wrinkly from having been wet.
Yes, yes, I had him tested by the vet immediately. In fact I had three cats, and since I wasn't sure, I had all three of them checked both urine and blood (expensive!) . .. everything came back negative.
For the next couple of years, I learned that he just felt that he owned that silly table. As long as I kept my stuff off it, we had an understanding. I bought a thick plastic cover for the table anyway, but basically we had a routine down, and life went on without me killing him.
Then a year later, I needed a home equity loan. A loan officer came to my house, and we did all the paperwork there at the dining room table. When it was all finished and she was gone, I got a phone call from a friend from grad school \ high school. I went upstairs and we chatted for an hour or two. Lot of catching up to do.
Came downstairs, and MY MORTGAGE PAPERWORK WAS YELLOW!!!!!!
What brings this to mind, you ask? Well, I'm trying to sell the house, and so I just had to go back into the safe and drag out my smelly paperwork . . . sheesh, this is going to be so embarrassing at closing day. Should I come to the closing with latex gloves for everyone? Suppose my lawyer is going to fine me a biohazard surcharge?
Please please please, tell me what your naughty kitties have done so I can feel a little bit better about this.
