This cat is a FUCKING JERK.
Kenobi has a new habit. He’s almost 15 and has spent most of his life outdoors. After refusing to use litter boxes for his entire life, he’s recently discovered how useful they are. Since all other cats stay inside when it rains, this asshole uses the opportunity to explore their territory, and he always comes home soaking wet. This past month he suddenly decided that no matter how wet he already is, he’d really rather come inside to relieve himself, which is easy because we have a cat door. If I don’t catch him and dry him off before he b-lines for the litter box, he packs his soaking wet paws with litter when he buries his business. Then (here’s the part where you decide maybe you don’t want a cat) he walks around shaking the loose litter from his paws and feet, spraying it all over the house. This isn’t quite gross enough, so he kicks it up a notch. See, the bits of litter that don’t shake off become wet clay, which he wipes on everything he touches. Within seconds, it dries and does not wipe off. So, now we have little cat foot prints made of clay and cat waste all over our hardwood floors, the couch, our new kitchen floor, and of course, when he decides he needs a lap to lay on, our clothes. I’ve had cats or lived in cat households most of my life, and this is a new one on me. So, given how beautiful his fur is, should I have him made into a stole, or a hat?
