[life] Feline hijinks

Or lowjinks, as the case may be.

One of our cats urinated on the pile of clean clothes on our bed today. It soaked through several of the items in my nice fresh load of whites, through the sheets, and into the mattress. We discovered this as we were folding the clothes prior to going to bed. So, instead of snuggling down into the downy embrace of my bed, I am trying to stay awake while washing a nice big load of violated bedclothes. Thank god the comforter wasn't on the bed.

We have two cats. I very much doubt it is the older one, as Ming is the most stable and inoffensive beast I have ever shared a living space with. My money is on the new addition to the household, as Fred has just entered sexual maturity and, additionally, gets sat on regularly by the much larger Ming. Tomorrow I make an appointment to get Winnifred fixed. In the meantime, we are thoroughly washing everything, treating the mattress with vinegar and a nice healthy spritz of my citrus/vanilla perfume, and keeping the door to the bedroom shut unless we are in it. Hopefully the spaying will fix the spraying, or we are in for a stinky, unpleasant ride.
