 | |  | | Okay, you asked for me to share my interesting potty tales. You asked for 'em, you got 'em!
This one happened in the middle of the night. Since we live in a building for disabled and elderly people, each apartment's bathroom has a cord to pull in case of emergency. Mommy had it tied up, because she was sure she would never use it. Well, one early morning, I went in there and sat on the human litterbox and started batting at the cord. It was so much fun that I got kinda carried away, and all of a sudden this weird alarm noise went off! It was 4:30 a.m. Usually when Mommy wakes up to make her trip, and she was debating whether she had to or not, and the alarm got her up! She didn't think it sounded like the fire alarm, but she opened the front door anyway. She didn't see anything, so she decided maybe it will shut up in a few minutes, so while she was up, she made her "trip" and when she looked over toward the wall, she saw that red light flashing fron the cord. Boy did that freak her out! She got up and started pacing, which she does when she's nervous or mad. She was hoping nobody had called 9-1-1, then she figured out how to turn the thing off, which was good, that noise was disturbing my eating and litterbox thing! She started pacing again. Honestly, I think she could walk miles with all the pacing she does!
Well, it seems that nobody called 9-1-1, and she was glad, although, had this been a real emergency, she wondered what would happen.
She paced for well over an hour until she calmed down enough to go back to sleep. I tried to cuddle with her, and she shoved me away! For two days after that, she shoved me away from her! Finally she forgave me.
For six months after that, the bathroom was off limits to me. She had the door closed, but she knew how talented I am at sticking my paws under the door and jiggling it open! So she took a big box of litter and put it in front of the door!
After six months, she was sick of always having to move the box, so she decided to trust me again and opened the door for good! I was thrilled! I did bat at the cord, but when Mommy heard it, she scolded me and then she taped the cord to the wall!
Well, about a year or so later, the apartment owners and fire dept were making their rounds to make sure the building and all the apartments were up to code and safe, and they said that Mommy couldn't keep the cord tied or taped anymore. Now it's just hanging there, but Mommy hid it behind the towel bar so that she, or I don't trip on it, or that I won't bat at it or chew it or something. |  |  | |  |
