a thought or two

We plan; God laughs.

Ain't it the truth?



I have six cats. Yes, I realized that this makes me the Crazy Cat Lady of LJ. Anyhow, my baby, Elsie





is about 7 months old now, and she's ladylike and well-behaved, but...well, she's not the brightest bulb in the 6-pack. Sometimes she goes to her litter box and doesn't quite hit the target. This happened yesterday, and she must have been mortified by it but let's give her kudos for being creative. Since she pooped on the floor and not in the box, she couldn't scratch litter over it so this is what I found:

1 small pile of cat poop, covered with -
The plug from my hair straightener
A label I'd cut out of a dress and put in the wastebasket
One of my hairbands
A pink razor that she must've gotten out of my bathtub
Her favorite green jingle ball.

I'm afraid that her putting her favorite toy on there was her attempt at atonement. But seriously, HOW could I get mad at her? Sometimes you just have to cover your eyes with your hand, shake your head, giggle, clean everything up, and then go smooch your silly, conscientious little baby. I really was tempted to take a picture of it and include it in this post, but I decided to spare you. I sometimes see humor in very odd places where other people don't, and I thought this might be one of those times!

Awwww- she is far too cute to be mad at. And she did try so hard to cover her accident up - LOL

Awwww she's adorable.

Mine does that too - barf on the rug? Cover it up with whatever's around.

She's also scared of her poop, I think. If she misses she ends up RUNNING to the other end of the house. Like it's chasing her.

OMG, I can relate to this. They do try, even at their most scattered and goofy our furballs do try. My one is enough for me - do all of yours sing at 5:30am and wake you up? If so, I'm thinking it must be like a cat symphony.

Oh my goodness. What a cutie. I don't think I could have been mad at her either. Then again, I say that as someone who is rarely ever the one who actually has to clean up after the cat. ;)

Your little kitty is gorgeous and I dunno, I think I would have laughed seeing the photo.

My old cat occasionally leaves me a dooky streak across the carpet and makes NO effort to cover it, she just whines at me. My younger dummy plays with her poop occasionally, so it's like a litter bomb went off in the bathroom.

Aww, poor baby! She did try! ;-)

Do you ever let your cats outdoors? It seems rare in America, but most Kiwi cats are indoor/outdoor ones so thankfully we don't have to have litter trays for long.
