What a good way to start the day....yuck!

[sildil]

First up, last night elderly cat brought in a mouse, naturally still alive (to be honest I was impressed that he managed to catch one since he is getting decidedly doddery!) I was unable to rescue it as when Stilton let go it ran into the heap of shoes and bags under the stairs...



...next morning. There is the little headless corpse in the hall (thankfully on a tile floor) but COVERED IN ANTS. Oh yuck. SO I had to clear that up and out came the plastic bag, kitchen towels and spray cleaner.

Then I go to feed the cats. SOMEHOW the freezer door was left open all night. There was a puddle on the ground that looked like blood but was actually blackberry juice (ah well, that sorts out what to do with last year's crop, dammit :() and virtually all the contents were defrosted. In a panic I pulled out a few things that we can use, but we have nowhere to store it and I have NO TIME to deal with it as I have to be at work in 30 minutes! WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!

Ah well...let's hope work is bearable...

Euw. Poor wee mousie...

You're right--- doesn't sound like a good way to start the day. So, it HAS to get better, right?

*smoochies*

Yes exactly, and it did. I managed to get on top of the stuff at work and had a bearable day, thankfully!

EW. One of the joys of owning cats, I suppose.

I hope today improved for you, hon. Maybe see you after your work, but it's doubtful. ((hug))

LOL! Love the icon!

Yeah it did improve *hugs*

Egad, after that bad start, the rest MUST be better! *crosses fingers*

[sildil]

It was, thanks!

Most cat owners are familiar with the sight of rodent entrails arranged decoratively on the carpet. The eaten-and-regurgitated ones are the worst..

I'm surprised your freezer didn't beep at you. My freezer is always beeping at me. The fridge beeps too, and the washing machine beeps to tell me it's finished, and the hubby's car beeps if you don't put your seatbelt on, and the timer on the cooker beeps, and the iron beeps because.... You know, I have absolutely no idea why the iron beeps.

I wish they would all shut up!

Yeah, I have lost count of the little corpses and live critters I have cleaned up or rescued over the years! The best was our dear departed cat, Monty, bringing in a LIVE MAGPIE to our old house in London. How she got it through the catflap I have NO idea.

Our freezer is WAY too old for such technology, it has a little light (TINY and almost invisible) that flickers on and off if it is distressed. We dont have anything that beeps...we are deprived! (though we DID have a car that nagged you to put your seat belt on...)

I remember one time when one of the cats brought in a chipmunk and it ran up my pant leg. Yea, most people in the vicinity couldn't hear after that...teehee...

Anyways, ACK on the defrost! Not good! I've had that happen when roomie left the fridge open and eeeeeeeeeeeeeee things were defrosting. gack! HOPE YOUR DAY WAS GOOD!! *hugs*

[sildil]

oh GOD NO!!! All of Worcestershire would hear the screams if that happened here!

Yeah the day got better, thanks! xxx
