August Travel 1/3 complete - special catsaster edition

[c9]

We're home from Wasaga Beach - woo! Great fun, lots of sun and playing in the lake. We were gone from Saturday morning until Monday afternoon, and the cats were fed by a friend on Saturday evening.

Unfortunately, said friend accidentally closed the door to the basement before he left.

The cat litter is in the basement.

The cats were not impressed.

They tried really hard, but couldn't keep it all in for 48 hours. So Action Cat's favourite giant floor pillow became a litter box, and the bathroom mat became a litter box.

Said friend also left the door to our bedroom open.

So the wonderful duvet on our bed also became a litter box.

Augh.

Cats really don't like that -- they weren't punishing us, they were trying to hide it but had few options to choose from. The shit in the bed was actually "buried", in a sense, in the covers. And the cats were quite quiet when we got home.

I'm removing that goddamned door.

Door's too old and would be ruined, so I'd rather just remove it and replace it again when we sell. But if it gets too cold because of that change, maybe we can sacrifice the door.

Hm, maybe replace it with a cheap door, temporarily? We found some at Home Depot (I think) that could be cut to size (we needed custom sized doors for the basement apartment). If you went that route, you could go really cheap and just cut a hole in the door yourself, and skip the cat-flap.
