We're Off to the Animal Shelter

Remember when I told you about our cat, Squeak? You can read all about it here. Anyway, apparently the straw that broke the camel's back (or MD's anyway) happened yesterday. I got home and there is a note taped to the bathroom door "Do not to let the cat out. She is covered in s*@!." Of course I'm thinking what did she do now?

I gave MD a call because he was out driving. The man likes to cruise Lake Shore Drive on Sundays. Who am I to criticize? He could be at home bothering me instead, but I digress. Apparently Squeak was chewing on the cord to our halogen track lights. MD thought he saw her doing it but gave her the benefit of the doubt. Then he caught her in the act and the chase ensued.

He chased her into Munchkin and Squirm's room and she shitted by the radiator. He chased her into the computer room (yes the computers have their own room), and she shitted on the floor. He chased her into the full bath and she shitted in the corner by the pipe (we have radiator heat) and proceeded to ground it all over the pipe, the tile floor and herself. Finally he chased her into the half-bath (her holding cell) and she shitted on the floor MD had just mopped and cleaned. The MD had to clean up all the cat shit all over the house.

He has decreed that she will not be allowed out of the half-bath unless it is to escort her from the premises which will happen this week. I guess what capped it off is that he decided to listen to CDs and when the two CD players wouldn't sync up with each other he checked the cord between the two. It was chewed to the point of no return and now needs to be replaced.

It was bound to happen sooner or later. I think he is most disappointed because he has never had such a bad ass cat and he's had about 8. I've only had one and as I've said before she learned her lesson the first time she got in trouble. My only hope is that Squeak can find a new home. One where she doesn't chew on things and can go outside on a regular basis. On the other hand, we are due to go on vacation in two weeks and I was worried what we were going to do with Squeak while we were gone. It's now no longer an issue. C'est la vie!
