More Anti-Cat sentiment, and Lionel has a strange day.

“Googlers are permitted to bring their dogs (but not cats) to the workplace.”

Well, there goes my desire to work there!

Lionel had a pretty clumsy day yesterday. First, when Amy was taking a bath, he falls into the bathtub. I hear a shreik (Amy, not lionel), and I come running around the corner to see Amy pulling him out of the bathtub with his hindquarters soaking wet.

Wet cats are interesting. They are, at the same time, very angry and very in need of help. I closed the door so Lionel couldn’t get out, and tackled him with a towel. He hated being rubbed over to get the water out, but I think he was glad he was less wet.

Then, about a half hour later, I’m using the computer, and he’s looking for birds out a window in my office. For some crazy reason, he jumps at one, and latches onto the curtain. So I have to rescue him, hanging 4 feet off the ground to our curtain. Thankfully the curtain survived the worst of it, and we could the majority of the snags out.

Buy cheap curtains if you have cats. I suggest looking for sales (we got all our curtain rods at 50% off), and thrift stores, although it may be hard to get matching panels.
