A cat broke into my kitchen, every night this week. This time it destroyed a huge new package of toilet paper I just brought that home yesterday. All the rolls were torn into shreds.<\/p>\n<p>When I tried to remove the cat, it bit me, clear down to the bone.\u00a0 I fear that bone is broken.<\/p>\n<p>After putting on heavy gloves, I tried to throw it outdoors. I got\u00a0 bit again.<\/p>\n<p>Now I was getting angry, it got away into my woodwork shop. I left the door to the outside open.<\/p>\n<p>That cat has always been evil, if I catch it again, I am afraid I will do evil. I hoped that it escaped to the outside. I can&#8217;t care for it anymore. That was up to God now.<\/p>\n<p>Last night, my new kittens slept on the bed with me. In the middle of the night, I discovered puddles and worse on the bedding. A present from the cute little critters.<\/p>\n<p>Their access to the bed has been limited.<\/p>\n<p>I needed to move them downstairs. I went down to feed the others and surveyed the situation. It was not fit for little kittens.<\/p>\n<p>I will have to come up with a different solution.<\/p>\n<p>I went back down with a wide scraper and cleaned the floor. All that got swept into the boy&#8217;s room.<\/p>\n<p>After I eat and rest, I will go and load the piles of cat hair and worse into the fire.<\/p>\n<p>I will need one this weekend, the forecast has changed again. This time with heavy snow forecast.<\/p>\n<p>On the upside, I saw thousands of swans and geese in the field near my house, and for a day I heard my frogs.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-responsive-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6gOedDS2NMQ\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>My day didn&#8217;t end there. I glanced over at my cat sitting on the bed beside me, she had a funny look on her face.<\/p>\n<p>I reached over right into a puddle of piss on my new 3 inch memory foam mattress topper. I cleaned that up and was thankful I ordered the one with a waterproof cover.<\/p>\n<p>Since this was the third incident, the first being 2 pounds of liquid shit on new comforter. The second was another puddle of piss on new sheets.<\/p>\n<p>My cat has been banished from the bedroom. She has been my faithful companion for a lot of years.<\/p>\n<p>She was intimidated by a momma cat and her kittens.<\/p>\n<p>The day was rough, but ended better.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-responsive-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PuNXEUwIQMY\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cats don&#8217;t need to be possessed; they&#8217;re evil on their own \u00a0Peter Kreeft It has been a great day so far.
