The tell-tale paw
We have a white bath mat in front of the vanity in our bathroom, which
is on the 2nd floor of the house. The litter boxes are in the basement, a full two staircases below our bathroom. Yesterday morning, I noticed a brown smudge on the bath mat. When I put my glasses on, I noticed that the brown smudge was, in fact, a paw print. I didn't lean down to sniff, but I'm reasonably certain that the brown was #2. However, and here is the mystery, there is only ONE paw print, not a trail, and as far as I can tell, there is no other #2 in the bathroom, or any where else in the vicinity. Did the maker of the print limp around on 3 legs until finding the white mat on which to leave his signature? Inquiring minds want to know... Caroline S. |

May very well be it! Could have been hopping around going, "Eww, Eww, Eww!

Similar to when they have to, *you* know: Ralph. No matter where they are, especially on a solid uncarpeted floor, they manage to make their way onto the priceless Oriental carpet that you inherited, so that their puke lands in a soft spot.

(LO-O-ONG time ago.) It was dusk and getting darker; I was trying to make my way back to the home goal (Did we really pronounce it "goolz" then?) and decided to crawl on my hands and knees so as to be less visible. My left hand hit something squishy, but because it was dark I couldn't see what it was (nor was I smart enough to realize) so I brought my hand up close to my face just as I was breathing in. GAG! "Ew! Ew! Ew ew ew!" I cried, all the way home and having arrived, I waved my had around and hollered to whoever was around "GET IT OFF!! GET IT OFF!!!!" -- Joey DoWop Dee Remember: It is To Laugh |
