| She's Baaaa-aaack! |
So the toilet blocked up. On Easter Sunday. A public holiday weekend being, of course, prime facility-blockage time. Fortunately, energetic flushing and poking a garden hose through the pipes outside made it drain well enough to avert a State of Emergency. As everyone knows, summoning a plumber on public holiday weekends requires the mortgaging of one's first born, so the House of Ata was glad to avoid this necessity. Given that we do not have a first born to offer, and we don't like to carry that kind of debt.
Less fortunately, this exertion caused the toilet to make an alarming blooping noise, which caused great distress to Bosco, and set our toilet-training efforts back somewhat.
Anyway, a plumber duly arrived on Tuesday morning to put the nasty snakey thing that looks disconcertingly like a prop from The Matrix through the pipes, and thus restore normal flushing function in the House of Ata. This procedure caused more alarming blooping noises in the toilet, further distressing Bosco. He resumed his toilet protest, and there was a Floor Incident. Ata began to fear the training process would have to start all over again. This proved not to be the case, but only after generous application of catnip spray and the use of cat-discouraging citrus-based cleaner on the floor. And Bosco spending some time with head-and-shoulders down the toilet, investigating the source of the blooping. At least he has stopped drinking the water. |

Yay, more cat stories. :D

*grin*
He reminds me of a feline version of Hoot.

My cat used to drink out of the toilet, too...
And he peed down the plug hole in the bath a couple of times.

Between Bosco and Hoot, I have come to the conclusion that animals are almost as crazy as humans.
Would it be funny to see them together?
