Cats are causing me more work!
As much as I love my critters, they can really complicate my life. Last week the toilet seat had finally had it with them using it as a springboard to get to the bathroom counter (and the oh-so-glorious sink in Jazzie's water-obsessed mind). So half of it just snapped right off the hinges. I unscrewed the other half to completely detach it and threw it in the back of the 4Runner. Maybe one of these days I'll be inspired to go to Home Depot and get another one. I'm hoping that day is Mon. because I'm kind of getting tired of Champ dragging his wet back legs all over the floor
when he falls in. However, the lack of a toilet cover has led to some hilarious looks of wonder on his little face. It's like that episode of the Simpsons when they go to Australia and Bart keeps flushing the toilet to watch the water spin in the opposite direction (which I heard is a myth, by the way). Every time I flush Champ runs up to the toilet and jumps onto the edge to watch the water go down. I can't decide whether he's just fascinated by the motion or if he's trying to figure out where the water is going. Either way, it's weird and funny at the same time.Jazzie on the other hand has had something weird going on with her skin so I might have to make a trip to Greenville on Tuesday to visit the vet. My mom has me all freaked out that she might be diabetic since diabetes makes people and animals excessively thirsty, and Jazzie certainly seems to be excessively thirsty. Poor skin and coat are also symptoms, so this weird skin thing is worrying me. It just occurred to me though that I was a bad mom last week and put the cheap Wal-Mart-bought flea meds on her and maybe she's having an allergic reaction to it. Poor little Boo! She's also pissed I've almost used up all of the paper towel fort she created last week when Champ pulled the towels off the stand while I was at work.
Oh well, c'est la vie! I'm going to watch a new SNL for the first time in ages. I gotta see if Ashlee Simpson screws up again. I don't want to miss pop culture history in the making!

lol Trace... Emmy makes bets with the toilet eh?
Lindsay, those cat stories are hilarious. I especially love the fact that you're slowly breaking down their paper fort bit by bit as opposed to just tossing it all out in the beginning, like I would have done.
You know, I had to go research the coriolis effect to confirm that the bathtub/toilet thing really is a myth. Funny that I knew what it was called and what it was but didn't know that it doesn't really apply to drains.
I gotta say, the idea of Emmy making bets with the toilet made me laugh for like 20 minutes straight. I got this vision of her in a visor dealing out cards like in the Dogs Playing Poker painting. It was funny.
And of course I slowly tore down the paper towel fort! I couldn't just waste all those towels!
And Tre, how the hell did you know it was called the coriolis effect?
