What's mildly irritating you today? - Page 63

lumberjim · 11-06-2008, 04:48 PM

my cat woke me up 45 minutes early by shitting in my room

then after i changed the catbox and took a shower, the toilet overflowed

then it took 2 hours and 5 minutes to get to work.

and now im being bored to death by a crap day and minimal business trafic.

wah?

Shawnee123 · 11-06-2008, 04:50 PM

Not wah. Perfectly justifiable grumbling, right there!

What is up with the cats? Gaines poo'ed in the bathroom...with a clean litter box in the very next room. Grrrrrr. It's a conspiracy or something.

Sundae · 11-06-2008, 04:52 PM

Reminds me I have to change over to clumping litter tomorrow. At least one thing, Diz is very good with using the litter box.

Sorry to hear about others' cat poo problems.

Shawnee123 · 11-06-2008, 04:53 PM

I have my million dollar idea for an improved cat box system, but no one to help design and build it.

HungLikeJesus · 11-06-2008, 04:56 PM

Does it involve a high-speed blender? If so, I'll help.

Shawnee123 · 11-06-2008, 04:57 PM

Jesus, you ain't right, man.

The 16 year old cat I inherited from my mom keeps escaping from the bathroom and peeing on anything left on the floor. Today it was my DH's jeans. I think this is kind of funny, because he's always getting after the kids for leaving their stuff on the floor.

This morning I woke up to a huge pile of cat vomit right outside my bedroom door.

Something in the kitchen smelled funny. Yup, the rug in front of the sink. Pee.

My office is right across from the laundry room, where we have two large litter boxes. It's inescapable.

I'm with ya, man. But then, we have 6 of the critters, so I guess we brought it on ourselves.

Juniper · 11-06-2008, 05:15 PM

Oh, there's something else bugging me today.

I did not realize that students were supposed to keep their GPA's a secret from their profs. How dumb. Can't they look up students' transcripts anyway? My business writing teacher did, and went and told the class that she knew my GPA, if you can believe that. Sheesh. But anyway, I mentioned it to him in an e-mail about how upset I was about getting a B...asking for a chance at extra credit work. And now he's pissed off at me and says I'm trying to use it to "manipulate" him. GRRRR!

Sundae · 11-06-2008, 05:19 PM

Juni it might be brought on by distress because of your new addition?
Just a thought.

Diz is quite freaked - he caught sight or sound or smell of the other cat somehow. I know he did because he came trotting back in here with a tail like a bottle brush. He's now sat at the top of the stairs, watching (there's a door at the bottom of the stairs). I'll leave him be unless I get the impression they want the cat to have access to the stairs tonight. Poor babba - just as he's settling in he finds a big black stranger in his house.

Aliantha · 11-06-2008, 05:22 PM

Juni, go to the pet store or the vet and get some cat drugs. You can get spray on ones which you just spray the area with, or plug into the wall ones that release a scent.

When we added another cat last year one of our originals went nuts and I mean absolutely fucking crackers doing all the things you're suggesting and more.

It's basically a pheromone that calms them down. Well worth the investment.

Sundae · 11-06-2008, 05:25 PM

It's called Feliway here. I used it to settle the boys when I adopted them, and then again when we moved to London, because HM had a cat. I didn't get it here because Diz was supposed to have sole occupancy. Maybe I'll get some more anyway - he's been unsettled recently. Only expected with the upheaval he's had this year.

Aliantha · 11-06-2008, 05:28 PM

Yeah, that's what it's called here too. I just couldn't think of the name.

I highly recommend it.

DanaC · 11-06-2008, 08:10 PM

Juniper, what's your GPA?

Juniper · 11-06-2008, 08:44 PM

Um...4.0

Trying desperately to keep it that way. At least for as long as I can!

DanaC · 11-06-2008, 08:51 PM

Oh! Grade Point Average! lol. I see what it is, its ok. I've been wracking my brain to work out what the letters stood for lol.
