To pretend the cat did it and now I've had to put socks on her?

[PaulaJane37]

So,I stupidly left a very large family jar of beetroot juice on the kitchen counter and went away for two days. I returned to shattered jar and dried beetroot juice in the light grey grout of my kitchen floor - cue bloody cat references from DP as nothing is getting the stain out. Sooooo I decided to pour pure bleach into the grout, not just a couple of lines to test the result/effect... The entire floor!! Now DP is on his way home, I've gone bleach blind due to the fumes, the kitchen is soaked in bleach that WONT lift and I've used the steamer on it which has made it worse x 100! The cat is now wearing my socks tied on with my hair bobbles and really not happy, but I can't get it off the floor and I'm worried she will get hurt by the bleach, DP will have final proof that I'm a complete nugget so WIBU to blame the cat for spilling bleach?

I think you need to post a photo of the cat in socks tied with hair bobbles so I can decide if YABU

A cat with opposable thumbs? (To open the bleach.) I wouldn't worry - your fortune is made!

I'd like to see the looks you're getting from the cat!

Ooo yes we definatly need a photo of the cat before we can decide

Cat photo or go home.

You popped the bleach on the side ready to use again whilst scrubbing the stain and the besocked cat knocked it down in retaliation to the sock torture?

She HATES me! (The cat!) how do I post a photo from my mobile on to here? Ill also posts pic of the floor! Totally think DP would believe the cat did it! (Have blamed her for loads in the past!)

Another one needing to see the cat... You attach photos via the paper clip under the big where you type a reply!

I bet the cat is planning what to do with your eyeballs once she has removed them tbh, blaming bleach spillage on her isn't going to make that situation worse!

Oh I love these threads, I'm so sorry. It's your fault for writing it in such a funny way.

Blame the cat. Cats are ruthless and would do the same to you

Must. See. Cat. In. Socks.
does it look like this?

photo needed defo ;)

YANBU as long as you can explain how the cat managed to open the bottle of bleach or why you left an open bottle of bleach lying around knowing you have a clumsy cat lurking around...

either way your probably going to look a bit nuggetish! GL

(Collapses with laughter)
That's brilliant!
No, yanbu.
In my experience the cat usually gets forgiven quicker anyway.

Ok here are the photos. She is planning my demise I'm sure of it! I'm away to pick up DS and I'm hoping by leaving EVERY window in the house open the smell will go and the floor will dry

Sorry no help on the bleach front but look a your wee kitty.... I'm amazed you even managed to get socks on.

Yeah, that's a cat with evil plans...

Cat would do same in your position, you know they would!

You need to:
Open all windows for fumes re you & cat
Kitchen roll wipe floor like mad to absorb bleach
Take mobile pic of cat

Aw! That's lovely! She's a beauty! < misses point of thread >

Look on the bright side - the beetroot stains are gone.

(And she's adorable!)

Use a towel to soak it up?

It's going to be a slow and painful demise. She definitely has a plan.

On a more serious note, I was told that cats can absorb bleach through their paws and that it can be fatal so I have always been paranoid about bleaching floors and would be shutting the cat socks and all out of the kitchen for a while.

Sorry, that's not helpful at all

What about her back paws op? May as well have a complete set?

Agree with kitchen roll - you need to get up as much as you can.

Step away from the steam cleaner.

I wish you had posted your plan this morning - that's a lot of bleach and I would have bought shares in Domestos had I known

Your cat is gorgeous (even though she looks livid!)

Open all downstairs windows and back door to get rid of fumes, kitchen roll to get the worst of the bleach up, just water and a normal mop to get the rest of it up, yy to "cat knocked open bottle of bleach off the worktop" story and tell DP you've had such a bugger of a day that he needs to take you out for dinner, or at least buy you wine

Be aware that if you're putting bleach into porous items they can absorb an awful lot of it and 'sweat' the stuff back for ages. You'll have to mop that floor a lot in the immediate future.

I like your floor...

Get a load of old tea towels/bath towels whatever and soak them in a mild solution of washing up liquid and get down on your hands and knees and rub away. Bleach is so slimy. It'll go eventually.

Why haven't you done the cats back legs?
