What a delightful morning I am having. NOT. D:


Mr. Kitty Baby was so grumpy. I didn't know what was wrong. He kept making grumpy little noises.馃檧馃檧馃檧

I knew he has fed, I knew he had fresh water, so then...I decided to check on the litter box, and after only 3 days it was covered in liquid kitty poo. He was so clever he managed to position his a$$ up above the rim, and shot it outside the box...twice.

Now, the litter box rests ON a huge rubber mat, and another is in front of it. These mats have rims, and they contain most of the kitty litter he tracks outside the box. He also tracked the poo on his paws to the SECOND mat in front of the first.

I BOUGHT these mats because quite a long time ago one of my cleaning ladies told me that if he made a mess, or had an accident, I could LIFT UP the mat, and carry it into my shower to clean it.

Today was the first time ever that I have had to do that. I will not describe my disgust to you. I will not describe how HARD I had to scrub the mats to get the dried poo off of them. I will not describe how completely grossed out I still am, that that STUFF went into my shower.

But I WILL describe the [i]entire can[/i] of LYSOL bathroom disinfectant cleaner that I had to use in there.

Mr. Kitty Baby lay in the doorway, carefully observing the entire procedure, to see if he approved, apparently. MORE grumpy noises ensued...馃檧馃檧馃檧

"But Mr. Kitty Baby", I thought to myself, "everything is now sparkling clean and disinfected. How can I possibly serve you further? How can I satisfy my Kitty master?" 馃き馃き馃き

Turns out he was hungry...AGAIN. The food in his dish was no longer...acceptable. 馃槺馃槺馃槺 I know I had to clean all of that anyway...but damn. I could have opened a can of tuna and he would have been quiet...馃ぃ馃ぃ馃ぃ
Check your local hardware store for 35% or 45% vinegar, that stuff will dissolve all kinds of nastiness!! Just don't splash it on anything, it marked up the counter top.馃槅 Strong stuff! If you can't find it locally, it can be ordered online.

@UnderLockDown I sat on the edge of the bathtub with the hand held shower head on hard spray full blast, hottest water setting, and just sprayed and sprayed...and eventually I only had to scrub the mats a little bit with paper towels.

But THAT is good to know. Does it dissolve rust stains on floors?
@4meAndyou It's acidic, it might. Try soaking a spot with regular 5% overnight?
Don't use vinegar on anything aluminum though, they don't get along well at all.馃

@UnderLockDown Acids in tomato sauce dissolve aluminum foil. I used to have to be careful how I wrapped a lasagna, for instance, so that makes sense.

Be glad he didn鈥檛 do this.

@cherokeepatti 馃ぃ馃ぃ馃ぃ He did a lot worse than that. Hung his a$$ over the back side of the litter box and squirted out two rather large puddles of "Hello Mommy". 馃あ馃あ馃あ
You did have quite the morning. I guess he knows what he wants and know mom will take care of all his needs.
@4meAndyou I agree. My dog is so needy, I can鈥檛 even go to the bathroom alone. 馃ぃ馃ぃ馃ぃ

@Sojournersoul 馃ぃ馃ぃ馃ぃ I used to have a little Maltese. I had moved to my brother's vacant house in Lansing, that year, and wanted to take a hot soak in the tub to ease my muscles. Charlie followed me in there, and sat beside the tub BARKING at me. Finally, just to shut him up, I had to lift him into the tub and let him sit on my stomach...馃ぃ馃ぃ馃ぃ It was NOT the relaxing soak I had envisioned...馃ぃ馃ぃ馃ぃ
@4meAndyou I bet not. I will spare you the details but same when i am in bathroom during a certain time. Lol

I was just given two cases of foil packets of pate cat food by a friend of mine from my church, and I think that is why he had problems. The change in diet.

Also, he likes to eat the plain cat food first, but about 30 minutes later he wants me to add water to it and make "soup", and then 30 minutes after that he wants more "soup", but by that time the flavor has all leached out of the meat. He won't touch the second "soup", and sometimes I lose track. But I usually have to dump that bowlful out.

@calicuz He just would NOT be quiet. It's like having a baby with colic...馃ぃ馃ぃ馃ぃ
