I love my cats, but...
this week they are trying my patience!
The long-haired one (pictured in my signature) has had some *ahem* intestinal issues that have led to three baths in a week and finally to a trimming of her butt fur (she screams and twists and claws/bites through all of these).
Last night DH went to bed before me and said in passing "I smell cat poo in the kitchen but can't figure out where it's coming from." When I go to the kitchen an hour later, I find the very obvious source of the smell--I think he just didn't want to clean it up himself.
Today I woke up to two cat puke stains on the carpet, so I drag out the cleaners even though I'm late for work. Now I'm hurrying to get dressed and make the bed...which is when I found that some cat drug their dirty butt across my brand-new light blue quilt in the middle of the night last night. Now I'm really late for work, but I have to drag the quilt to the bathroom and scrub it...
I guess this is the universe's way of preparing me for life with kids?? That's the only somewhat positive spin I can put on this week's adventures!

Re: I love my cats, but...
Oh the joys of having cats!
And just as an FYI - we use the Resolve Pet carpet cleaner and a scrub brush for our carpets and bed stuff when we need to and it works like a dream! In case you were looking for a cleaner for all that excitement
We must share the same cats!! My cats do this stuff ALL. THE. TIME!! You are a better person than me though because it's led to my hating cats now! I swear I love my cats, but when they die (hopefully a very long time from now!!) I will never get another cat! Plus I don't think it helps that our cats are actually DH's cats that he got before he and I got together and I still get stuck cleaning up their messes even though*my* dog's messes are for me to clean up in his mind.
Good to know mine aren't the only ones being bad... it's tough when all 5 of them gang up on me at once! I definitely won't have this many pets at a time ever again (we have a Brady Bunch family of my 3 cats plus DH's 2, so we never set out to have 5 in the first place!).
I know several people who have 10+ cats (these are people who work in rescue groups) and I don't know how they do it!!

When we got home last night/this morning I had to clean up a hair ball and vomit on the bedroom carpet. Ugh! I feel like I clean up cat vomit every day!
And I was closed in the bathroom with my long hair cat Thursday night trying to clean her rear end!
I thought I was the only one dealing with this kind of stuff!
