So life with a toddler is often messy. Constant drool. Food everywhere. Boogers. Something is always leaking, running or sticky.
But we also have four cats. And while there are all kinds of rumors about how clean cats are, I guess that page was missing out of the "How to be a Cat Handbook" that our kitties supposedly received at birth. (Also, Hobbs' chapter on meowing must have been absent.)
Don't get me wrong, all of our cats groom meticulously. They are beautiful, sparkling examples of furriness. But every once in a while something goes horribly wrong and tonight was one of those night.
Nate and I were running around the kitchen playing when he headed out towards our front room to get a toy. That's when I spotted it. I thought at first it was a hairball- we get lots of those. BUT NO- it was (for lack of a better description) a cat turd. And on the floor behind it was a an obvious trail where one of our charming cats had come through the cat door from the litterbox and dragged their butt to free themselves from this little brown hitchhicker.
Luckily I grabbed Nate and the Clorox wipes before any damage was done.
I'm not sure which of the cats did it- they aren't talking. But I've got a brand new, Costco box of Size 4 Huggies and I'm not afraid to use them.
hitchhiker. haha. You're funny! How do you like the Costco diapers? M is in size 4 too! If they are as good as Pampers, I would love to be able to save some $$.
ReplyDeleteI would venture to guess it was Hobbs, as delicate a diva as she is, she has the longest fur...in our house we call them asteroids! Keiki in particular is prone, so much so we have to trim the fur around her butt - if you have never tried to cut a cats fur around their ass, let me tell you, it is a real treat!
