Dougy’s enjoying a light nap in the dining room cat tree when his kitty boy sense tingles…. (It isn’t just Spiderman!) Something’s afoot. Yeah, kitty footsies!
Distracted momentarily by his contribution to poor housekeeping, Dougy slowly realizes…
…there’s sure a lot of cat hair on the carpet! And, oh yes! Andy’s eating kitty treats!
Dougy must have eaten before he took his nap, though, because he doesn’t go to his treat station for his share. Of course, Andy checks it out after Dougy…
…returns to the cat tree to continue his nap. He eats what he can, then takes off for his nap.
=(^+^)=
For the benefit of people who can’t imagine how I live in such a hairy mess, let me explain: I’ve put off fixing a rattle in the vacuum, supposing it was beyond my ability to fix.
That is to say, as a guy, I procrastinated, then finally just ripped the sucker apart, fiddled with some things I can’t name, put it all back together in – I hope! – the right order, and the dang thing works again!
The carpet looks a lot better, with nothing but cat “oopsie” stains to give a hint how much I need to try that steam rug cleaner out. Yeah. No rest for the wicked.
Let me know how you like the steam rug cleaner, Doug. There are plenty of whoopise stains on our carpet too, and IO am thinking of doing the same thing. 🙂
I haven’t ever felt it was as successful at cleaning stains as plain elbow grease and a stiff brush dipped in rug cleaning soap and water. I suspect I will end in paying a professional service to clean the rugs in time.
You boys got a treat station??? I want one, Benji
It’s nothing more than a slice of a cottonwood branch from a huge tree that a storm toppled in the city park. I got a couple piece of it because it was a familiar and beloved tree to many people and me. Of course, I didn’t know what I’d do with them! Andy decided it was a great spot to sit and observe the scene. Then I decided it was a good spot to put kitty treats where there wouldn’t be crumbs on the floor. Of course, if you know cats you know they pick up a treat and chew it over the carpet. LOL! Yep, treat crumbs.
Haha, that sounds like dogs picking up treats. At least dogs take it to their bed, well at least 80% of the time, and have crumbs in their bed…
I can be thankful for that much!
As long as you don’t mind the slobber from taking the treat in the mouth to their beds.
Ha! For sure!
I use a shop vac , I somehow manage to break regular vacuums quickly.
They are noisier than regular vacuums but I see where they could be a better deal. Hmmm!
doodz…therz all wayz sum thin good in de kitshin; fridge iz R best friend 🙂 ♥♥
I guarantee there always is something of interest!
They have very busy days – and you too 🙂 !
Of course, we all take lots of naps to make up for it! Ha!
When you are done steam cleaning your rugs, you can come help me. We should replace a spare bedroom rug but it’s the “barf” room (I’m sure you know what I mean). So my choices are to steam clean it and hope it looks “good enough” or to find a carpet that matches cat barf.
LOL! Cat barf-colored carpet sounds like a winner! I am less impressed with the steam cleaner than I expected to be. Ads noted elsewhere, it seems elbow grease and a stiff brush dipped in carpet cleaner in water does a better job. OR a professional carpet cleaning crew!
Sadly anything good takes elbow grease!
How true!
Clean up the fur on the carpets kitties! So your owner doesn’t have to clean it every day.
They tell me they like the look and it reminds them they live here. Ha! It takes a short time between vacuuming for the floor to look exactly the same.
oh maybe therefore people invented the word fast-food as they saw andy running?
LOL! It’s a thought, eh?! He may be little, but he loves his food…NOW!
Thank goodness the days of shagpile carpet are long gone !
Oh dear! What a nightmare that would be with two Persian kitty boys! I definitely agree with you.
