@#$$#%$%@#@#CATS!!!! I am ready to banish mine from the house forever!

One is howling like a banshee every time I am out of site. And I can’t yell at her or call her to me or anything because she’s an elderly 15 years old and now totally deaf. I doubt she can hear herself. Oh and she has taken to yacking in the corners. Not nice to find with your bare feet. Trust me on this one. Bleh.

The other one, the 4 year old get the stupidest cat alive award today.

I have been slowly renovating the house. It’s taking forever because the house is so small I can only work at a tiny section at a time by pushing the furniture from one side of the room to the other. The Rabbit’s room was on the plan for the day to finish putting the trim around the bottom of the walls. I was measuring and cutting, and she was painting. We were moving onto the third wall when the phone rang. I had to take the call, and the Rabbit being 14 finished painting the piece of trim she was working on and went off to do something else. I don’t know what.

I’m on the phone and I notice the cat is limping. I call Rabbit in to check him out. Seem she had some paint on his paw. I instructed the kid to take him into the bathroom and wash his paw off. I continued my phone call and wandered down into the basement to repaint the trim I assumed he had manage to step on. There was green paint <b>EVERYWHERE</b>. The #@%^$%#$%# cat hadn’t stepped on a piece of freshly painted trim, he had <i>reached into the paint can with his bloomin’ paw</i>!!!!!! And decided he didn’t like it. He’d raced around the basement with his paint soaked paw trying to get it off. Then not succeeding in making enough of a mess there ran up into the living room to smear green paint all over the tan rug. Which is Where I saw him limping.

To make a long story short, I ended up scrubbing green paint off of much of the basement floor and the tan rug. And not measuring, cutting and installing the trim into the Rabbit’s room. By the time I had tracked down all the green paw prints and splatter marks from foot shakes, I had worn myself out. The floor is now tinged green in the basement. The cat is damp with spots of green and the tan rug has a green cast to it in places.

Now the older cat is howling again and I can’t hear myself think.

Used cats – very cheap – will entertain best offer.
