All stressed out and no-one to choke
One of our three cats has a problem using the litter box reliably. It's not a new thing - been going on for years. It causes me all manor of stress and embarrassment. I recently drew the line and bought a cage. He spent a day in it - very unhappy about the fact - and decided that we'd let him out until his next accident - at which point we'd put him back in.
He did ok for a couple days, but when I got out of the shower this morning he was back in the cage.
He was unhappy when I left the house at 7:30 - mewing pathetically.
By the time I got into the office an hour later and called home to tell Dawnise I had arrived safely he had apparently wreaked havoc on the cage, surrounding walls and himself - covering everything with a slimy mix of dry food, water, and cat litter.
So here I am, sitting at work alternating between being fuming mad at the god damn cat for making life complicated and feeling terribly guilty that Dawnise is being forced to deal with the mess alone.
