not a well thought out plan

Sometimes things don't work according to plan, then sometimes the plan just sucks. I just had the latter. The better half (Liz) was off at hockey practice. So after a little bit of climbing, I had the apartment to myself (myself being me and two rather large and getting larger cats).

While drying myself off after a quick shower, i noticed one of the fur bags was relieving itself in the litter box. I am always glad to see this is happening in the litter box and not in say my shoe (I have cats before). I quickly noticed a few key facts of situation: even though she had dug a hole deep enough to hide a dead body into, she had completely missed said hole and though she completely refilled hole, that did not take care of things that were never in the hole.

"Damn, i am going to have to finish the job, or I'll be smelling that all night." this is when i noticed the third and most important fact, while filling in the empty hole, she managed to step right in the middle of deposit. i found out this when she flicks her back paw and sends a buckshot of poo across the bathroom and right into my chest!!!!

I quickly clean the poo off myself and almost every other flat surface in the bathroom. The cat, while very curious in the cleanup efforts, still had a poo covered paw that needed cleaning. I discovered two important things for the future: cats don't like water on any part of their body, and no matter how much you are afraid of a cat leaving poo prints across the floor, put on some pants before you attempt to make any cleanup efforts!!!!!!!
