the cat poo chronicles

Fluffy was not at school today, apparently there was a teachers training day. So yesterday he went off with a friend of his armed with his karate kit, his swimming kit, two tennis rackets and a football. They had so much fun that he ended up staying the night. So what has this got to do with cat poo i hear you ask. Well this morning we get up, throw on some clothes and wander down stairs where the cats have been all night.
As soon as we open the door to the front room the smell hits us. The squiting kitten has done it again but none of us can see where. Slowly we come into the room , each of us studying the furniture with a sense of dread.
the cats are circling our feet meowing " feed me " sir looks across at me and mumbles half asleep,
"Can't see any of the furniture." and we continue on slowly watching the floor for tell tale splats. That's when my phone rings. It's fluffy asking if his friend can come round for the day. I had to say yes after all if was only fair. he had spent the day and night over at his friends. We had half an hour to discover the mess and air out the whole of downstairs.
I opened as many windows as i could find, while still on the phone. Sir disappeared into the kitchen and came back armed with cleaning wipes kitchen roll and gloves. I watched as he knelt under my desk and pointed to the source of the smell. the kitten had crapped right under my desk. we had less than twenty minutes to clear it and pray the smell went away.
The thing with poo is once you find the main problem you end up finding a map of wear it has been walked over the floor boards and then lovingly squashed into the cat blanket. cat blanket was thrown into the washing machine, floor was scrubbed, poo was scraped , words were said mostly along the lines of " that fucking cat will end up as bloody dog food." and " the smell isn't going "
It got to the point where we were leaving the room waiting for a few seconds and then coming back into it sniffing and then spraying a bit more. it seemed like seconds to go and finally the smell was cleared. we had gotten away with it. Just as fluffy and his friend turned up. Luckily no one said anything about the smell.
kittens are cute but my god are they hard work.
