SatinKitty Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Re: The Last Word Heh. The only closet in the apt. with a door they can't open is the walk-in. I must keep things in there such as paper towels, toilet paper, the plastic bags I use for the litter boxes and even my Mom-In-Law's Birthday Present yesterday as they were fascinated by it.

AliceTheOwl Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Re: The Last Word Aren't they all? No, as far as I know, nothing comes out of closets while I sleep. It's the possibility that they MIGHT (and added along with several nightmares that they do) that makes me make sure they're all shut tight with no cats inside before I go to bed.

lemming Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Re: The Last Word We had one cat who would open the water heater closet, punched out the screen over the overflow drain and would get into our crawl space. I bungeed the doors closed and late at night we would hear him working out with the door. bang bang bang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Re: The Last Word Yeah, there is a space between floors ... it's where the in-wall speakers are set ... which was accessible via the laundry closet (which also houses the water heater). The cats would climb into there, from which we had to lure them with treats; I don't think I could get in there and reach them even if I pulled out the washing machine. I nailed a board over the opening to keep them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Re: The Last Word They're so excited, and bored with what they've been doing at home, that they've ramped up almost to intolerability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliceTheOwl Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Re: The Last Word Ah. Sounds kind of like my furkid, except that I'm not sure what's gotten into her. The older cat misses Jeff, though, that's for sure. He's the one who always played with Risu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Re: The Last Word Felix came in through the bedroom window (his preferred nighttime entry port) Saturday night. Thing is, momcat & the kids were loose in our bedroom at the time. Both Felix & momcat were very surprised, the latter profanely so. We were able to grab both of them and hustle Felix out of the room without further incident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliceTheOwl Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Re: The Last Word Hmph. Cat-swearing gets the whole PLANET out of whack! The UNIVERSE! It's the sort of thing that, if you hear in the middle of the night, you mistake it for a nightmare and wake in a cold sweat! Okay, not really, but they don't call it a "catfight" for nothin'.

Cancer Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Re: The Last Word I was acquainted with a Norwegian astronomer, and while visiting him in the dome one night his equipment stopped working. In a reflexive burst he swore in at least three languages ... English, German, and at least one I couldn't identify, and I strongly suspect there were two or three in the section I couldn't parse.

AliceTheOwl Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Re: The Last Word Swearing multilingually . . . there's an art I'd brag about, and demonstrate with glee. All I can claim is knowing all the words to "There One Was A Man From Nantucket." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
