Well that was a mistake ...

I thought, given the kids are with the ex, I’d attempt that long forgotten concept - a lie in. I did hear miaowing at one point but thought I’d bravely ride it out.

Came down to a scene of carnage - an entire load of washing had been systematically removed from the airer ( it was at least in 2 relatively neat piles), recycling bag ripped and emptied ( my error), every Xmas decoration knocked or removed ( which I suppose I could see as helpful), 2 cat toys have been destroyed - I’m actually quite impressed by this as have no idea how they managed to get the balls out of one and the oranges from the fruit bowl are all in a tiny little hole in the corner. Oh and obviously the mug I was too lazy to put away last night smashed. Somehow they had even managed to remove the toilet roll from its holder and shred it.

The Siamese isn’t speaking to me either which doesn’t bode well. At least he hadnt done a protest wee. Well yet.

I’d only stayed in bed until 7.30.

Well you won't make that mistake again, you bad cat slave! WinkGrin I committed a similar transgression this morning, didn't come downstairs until 8am, luckily for me I just got a couple of filthy looks! Then boy cat just raced out of the cat flap (he hates using the litter tray bless him and cat flap is locked overnight)
I guess you'll have to make up for it today with extra dreamies!

Ilovecrumpets · 30/12/2018 08:38

Yes I think I’m doomed. My kids get up at 6 am so the cats are used to being fed then ( despite having dried food down all night!). Also kitten 1 won’t use the litter tray if it has a single wee in - so despite now having 4 litter trays I am expected to clean his favourite ( which I should add changes) ASAP.

Oo you bad cat slave!

My cat alarm is at 4.30 I'm allowed to lay in until 5 while they smash the landing up but after that they get serious.

Ilovecrumpets · 30/12/2018 09:16

Yes I think ignoring the meowing at 6.30 was the point at which mine got serious Grin

This has made me laugh this morning OP!

At the point I hear the landing carpet being shredded then I know I must get up.
If this fails then they start on the double glazing. One long stretch up and claws pulling out the black plastic stuff that surrounds the windows is certain to get us out of bed .All my windows have been ruined .
‘None of our other cats through the years have ever done that although one did shred wallpaper.

Wolfiefan · 30/12/2018 09:29

You mean you haven’t found the protest wee yet! Grin
Bad cat slave.

Ilovecrumpets · 30/12/2018 09:35

Grin that’s probably true @Wolfiefan. Last night I erred in my judgement as to which was the favourite litter tray and did the others first. Whilst I was cleaning the favourite ( of one solitary wee) he came and stood beside me and the litter tray and wee’d a lake on the floor whilst looking me in the eyes. Then miaowed and walked off.

Crikey @Celticdawn5 window shredding is a whole other level! Must hide my phone as don’t want to give my two ideas ....

You really need to sort this appalling situation before 2019. Time for some resolutions. Before the protests take on a more erm solid and fragrant form. Grin

Ha brilliant. I have Bengal cats and this sounds like my house! Came home from work one day and it literally looked like I had been burgled. Nope. Just two bored kittens.

Celticdawn5 · 30/12/2018 09:45

Photo evidence!

Well that was a mistake ...
minkies11 · 30/12/2018 09:47

Wow @celticdawn - what naughty buggers!

Celticdawn5 · 30/12/2018 09:47

Major culprit

Well that was a mistake ...
SagelyNodding · 30/12/2018 09:47

Grin At least you didn't get up, open door and step in cat vomit... That was my morning surprise! Envy

Celticdawn5 · 30/12/2018 09:57

Cat sick.......there’s nothing like it!
My preferred method is to find two bits of cardboard ,ripped from cereal packet for example, and scoop the majority of said vomit first whilst trying not to inhale or examine it too closely.

Ilovecrumpets · 30/12/2018 10:01

I still have a very vivid childhood memory of getting up from my dinner chair and standing full footed in a pile of cold cat sick. Shudder.

I did give him a stern look and a talking to during the weeing incident @Wolfiefan . Sadly my disapproval doesn’t seem to bother him! Kitten 2 was equally as horrified as me and was standing meowing at him whilst he did it.

I grew up with a tabby who was a “character”. He would be called “spirited” on here. My sister was revising for very important exams and wouldn’t let him out. He asked politely. Then he peed up her leg. Grin

Ilovecrumpets · 30/12/2018 10:29

Well if he asked politely first it’s understandake behaviour Grin

Watched one of mine throw up and he decided to try and run away at the same time. So 4 puddles of puke to clean as he made a dash through the entire house. What a tit.

Ilovecrumpets · 30/12/2018 11:07

Naughtiness is so exhausting ...

Well that was a mistake ...

Cheddar has been very sick recently, came up to bed the other night to find a huge puke on the duvet. Though i was lucky, she usually does it the day after the sheets have been changed!

Toddlerteaplease · 30/12/2018 11:50

@Celticdawn5 I'm sure you've made a mistake. That cat is far to innocent looking!
