I wanted to write about the totally fab bridezilla luncheon that my friend Diane threw for me on Saturday (with help from Kimela too!) But, this subject came up last night and I just had to clear it off my plate first.
The cat.
I have a cat. Well, Gary has a cat and now that we live together, "We" have a cat.
The cat, who I'll call Missy Kitty because that is her name, is not thrilled to be living here with us. She tolerates Gary and me. Since we feed her twice a day, she allows us to remain. She hates the dogs, especially Booboo.
And all of that is okay. Cats have certain standards and I have come to understand that no one can live up to those standards. I'm not upset that she doesn't want to cuddle with me --- I'm allergic anyway. Fine, I leave her alone and she tolerates me. Booboo doesn't leave her alone and is rewarded with several smacks to the face followed by much hissing.
Last night I realized that there was trouble in the house. I noticed Booboo in the atrium. She was snuffing around the plants and drooling and chewing.
hmmm.... not good. Nothing edible grows in the atrium.
A few days before, I noticed that Booboo had rank, poop smelling breath. I thought that she was diving in the litter box for cat treats. I checked the box - looked as if Gary had been keeping it pretty clean. I couldn't figure out what the terrible breath might be from, so I fed her a greenie treat to sweeten her breath. And no, I did not kiss her.
And now, Booboo is chewing something that she found in the dirt and rocks of the atruim. I shooed her away and investigated .... but found nothing. However, I suspected Missy Kitty was making herself at home in the atruim but had no evidence - only suspicions.
A short while later, Gary and I noticed Booboo stalking MK in the atrium. And we caught her... red pawed. She was doing her 'business' in the atrium!!!! AAAARRRRrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhh... ALL I NEED IS FREAKING CAT POOP AND PEEPEE IN THE ATRIUM!!! IT ALREADY SMELLS TERRIBLE IN HERE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE CANINE FRIENDS. NOW WE HAVE NASAL EVIDENCE OF THE CAT LIVING HERE TOO!!!! NOOOOOOOOOoooooooo
Well, Gary scared the crap out of the cat (literally). Hopefully he has scared her enough to keep her in her clean litter box and out of the atrium. And I, just to be safe, created a concoction of cayanne pepper and water and sprayed it liberally over the not-cat box area of the atrium. I used so much cayanne that I started sneezing too!
Great, just great. Now the house smells like canine, kitty AND cayanne.
