Why??

Can someone PUHLEESE tell me why one of my cats enjoys going to the litter box, standing outside of it with his back feet, while he flings litter and doo doo from the box out onto the floor of the laundry room with his front paws? It's driving me insane. I want to hook up a little electric current to zap him each time he does this maneuver of his. Not a big zap. Just a teensy-weensy zip to show him its wrong and I don't want to walk in litter and cat crap in my bare feet anymore!!!

And to think, we're about to be gifted with kittens from our female. I was sure she was going to give birth by now, but apparently the little felines need more time in the oven. Her belly is so swollen.

...goes off to clean kitty litter and ick off my floor.....

    Pamela, dear, whose decision was it to give house room to these noxious creatures? Yours, Pamela, dear. Was that the decision of a sensible person? What do these animals contribute to your happiness? Despite my deep and undying love for you, I am glad that your cats crap in your house. Those of my neighbours think that my garden is a public convenience.
    Bastards.

  2. I love my cats, really I do vicus dear. I love them so much that I keep them indoors so as to protect them from the wild beasties of the neighborhood in which we live. There are woods, with creatures like racoons and coyotes who would enjoy killing my cats.

    I'm sure my husband would like to kill some of them as well, but he's thus far restrained himself.

    I applaud his restraint, although it's his fault that the female cat is pregnant.

  3. My cat used to pull that trick all the time! I think she was just spreading her "mark", claiming more territory!

  4. Well they can't have any more of my territory!!!

    The female always gets mad when we have dirty clothes on the lauadry room floor. She shows us her displeasure by peeing on the pile of clothing. Right next to her litter box. Very disturbing.

  6. He is responsible by letting the cat out of the house. He was hoping she'd leave, but nooooooo. She went out, had some fun and then returned with a uterus full of kittens.

    She's ready to give birth at any moment.

  7. Sheesh, she does this stuff because she's an animal. The best thing I did was to get my cat one of those little pet mini-doors so she can go out and use the lawn as opposed to using my whole house as a toilet. I really wish I lived next to Vicus!

  8. Re: the kicky the litter cat litter thing? My cats used to do that when they got sick of the brand of litter. at least, I'd switch brands and it wouldn't happen again for months. honest, this worked for me. give it a shot!


    *secretly relieved that all is explained*

    Carmenzta. I wish you lived next to me to. But, geography notwithstanding, come and crap in my garden if that is what butters your toast.

Healing

As I've been reading Conference Talks, I was touched by one by Elder Neil L. Anderson. He spoke of healing. Not in a physical sense, although that is also within the purview of the Lord, but about spiritual healing. When we've done something wrong, and everyone has, we should rightly feel guilt. Sometimes we feel shame. Some say that these feelings are not valid, they are bad and unproductive, and I agree in part. Those feelings are horrible, but they are not unproductive if they lead you to real repentance and a change for the better in your life. We are counseled to come unto Christ, so that He may heal us. There is no sin that cannot be forgiven. There is no wrong that cannot, in the end and with proper steps taken, that cannot be wiped clean. I'm grateful for this promise--because the world needs peace and I need mercy. (That's another quote from one of the apostles). I'm so grateful for so many things--not the least of which is the opportunity to ...

Ahhhhhh

Ally and I just got back from the gym. I went every day last week and even though it's Spring break for the kids and me this week, I promised myself I wouldn't fall off the wagon. No, not that one. I've fallen off so many times I've got callouses and other assorted damages from hitting the ground. We'll see how this works out this time. One day at a time, right? I can't do more than I can do. Whoa, how profound is that? You're right. Not very. I'm fighting a cold right now---scratchy painful throat, ears that won't unplug and a heavy feeling in my chest that I fear does not bode well for the rest of the week. Not that we're taking a vacation. We'd love to of course, but what with times the way they are and the things we need to get done here, it simply wasn't an option. So what are we doing for our spectacular spring break? I'm glad you asked. We're cleaning! Yes, you heard right. And my kids (Ok, the younger ones at an...

Wheeeeeeee!

Today I was awakened to the not-so-delightful sounds of enormous dump trucks, (you know the ones that are a dump truck and they haul a trailer behind?) dumping truck load after truck load of dirt behind my house. Then the most incredibly noisey and squeaky (do they not grease the tracks on those things??) grader began shoving the dirt and rocks around. I had to fight the urge to throw a can of WD40 over the fence to the driver. It wasn't even eight in the morning. It wasn't even 7:30 yet. So I reluctantly arose from my bed and cleaned up the kitchen. After it was spotless, I went back upstairs to my freeze-zone (the only room in the house with AC) to do some online banking and make calls to check on medical bills, etc. As I was finishing up, in walks my husband! At first I had a moment of Oh-no-he's-lost-his-job terror. Then it passed after he smiled. Seems they ran out of work for the day. Odd, but then that's Boeing. So hubby was roped into going school cloth...
