So the good news is - I'm getting more hours AND it's with the clients I already have rather than new ones 30 miles in the opposite direction.

The bad news is - their house reeks of cat piss and gives me a bad headache and no matter what I do, I can't get rid of the smell. And now I have to deal with it for an extra two days.
I love these people and am ever so grateful for the hours but wtf can I do about the smell of cat piss???

The mesmerizing fragrance of animal urine can be pretty tough to get rid of.

Every time I hear stories about what pets do to homes, it reminds me why I am glad I do not have any. Oh I love other peoples' pets when I visit, but let those pets destroy someone else's house.

@HoeBag They have leather furniture & the cats have destroyed it

@Tumbleweed Oh yeah, animals make it priority NUMBER ONE to ruin anything nice in the house.

I used to work at a store and one item we sold were these REALLY soft space rugs. Some kind of faux fur that was hypnotic to the touch. I would actually tell customers that if they had pets, I recommend against buying one because the pets would take an emergency restroom visit on it the moment it was brought into the house.

@HoeBag My cat is crazy af right now but he doesn't tear the furniture up & I change his box every other day. Two cats would drive me insane

@Tumbleweed I do not have much that I think a cat could ruin but I am sure cats could still find plenty to destroy.

My son has a cat that apparently isn't too bad.

@HoeBag Mine climbs on everything, his thing now is the bathtub. He gets in there & just runs back & forth... tf??

@Tumbleweed ehh not too bad, nothing really to ruin in the bathtub.

One time I was on the phone with a friend and she gasped real loud and said, "Shadow, what are you doing?!"

Her cat was climbing the curtains trying to catch a fly. 😄

We were making jokes about how one cannot say or write "catastrophe" without "Cat".
