Funny Pet Dibacles

[radiantquest]

Since most of us have pets I thought it would be fun to tell the stories of the disasters found in your home caused by a pet.

Small disaster that I encounter regularly is when my cats have "crazy time" in the middle of the night. We have wood floors outside of our bedroom door. They run, the rugs get skewed and sometimes situates perfectly to not allow the bedroom door to open. This causes a sleepy RQ to try to make it to the potty in the middle of the night and not able to get out of the bedroom. Not to mention it is dark, I'm confused and ram my entire self into the door!


Large disaster- Went away for a week on vacation. Since I was worried about the cats getting out from the catsitter coming and going and worried about a fire or something and the cats being stuck in the house we installed a kitty door. We came home to find a large, dead, de-feathered bird in the house. Feathers EVERYWHERE. FYI, feathers don't clean up easily. The broom causes them to flutter about and the vacuum air return causes them to flutter as well. I was cleaning up feathers for a week! I felt sorry for the bird, but geez, it can fly! How did it get caught be a house-cat?

One lazy morning, I was sleeping in. Mom was housekeeping in the kitchen. My cat walked into the kitchen and sat down next to the kitchen table. When she caught my mom's eye, she rolled over and showed her belly, then sat back up. This alarmed my mom because said cat has never done this before (expose her belly) unless she's napping on her back. My mom gasps, and exclaims, "CAT! Are you OK?" Having gotten my mom's attention, cat takes a few steps out of the kitchen, turns her head back, and waits for my mom to follow. Mom follows, and instead of slowly walking up the stairs (as she would if she wanted to lead us to fill her food or change her water), she SPRINTS up the stairs, and skids to a halt in MY bedroom. I heard zip, and saw her sitting in the middle of my bedroom. Her scampering and halting to a full sit in my bedroom was loud enough to stir me up enough to open my eyes, and see her. Her sit posturing is full alert - ears pointing straight, up, eyes wide as saucers like she's expecting something to happen. I hear my mom come up the stairs. Then I hear "AHHHHhhhhh!" Cat's eyes grow even wider and she's so tense that her front legs in the sit position are now as poker straight as the tip of her ears. hhahahaa... I can still see this in my mind's eye. When my mom reached the 2nd floor landing, immediately in front of her is our computer room, while my room is next to the computer room. What my mom saw was her 20+ year old floor to ceiling houseplant in the WICKER basket laying across the off white carpet of the computer room - soil spilt EVERYWHERE around the tipped plant. HAhahahaha!

OH... had I done this as a child, I probably would have gotten such a whooping, but since it was CAT, and Cat had "confessed" - we interpreted her rolling over on her back and showing her belly as a cat's "mea culpa", all was forgiven because Cat was honest with Mom.

Cat has been with us for 14+ years now, and this was the ONLY time she did something THIS bad, and the ONLY time she's rolled over and showed her belly in that manner. hahahhaha... smart girl - she knows how to "work" her human slaves over!
