Jul. 15th, 2010 07:30 pmI think my day can be summarized by what I experienced in the first five minutes. I started toward the bedroom door and heard this weird buzzing. "What fresh hell is this?" I think before opening the door. I walk into the living room and see the cats' water fountain tipped over on the carpet. All over the carpet and the fountain, now empty, is buzzing like a nest of angry hornets. I bury my face in my hands momentarily knowing full well who is responsible, even though the fountain when full (which it was) weighs about as much as Hachi.
Never underestimate a determined cat.
So of course Kage is pleading with me to get her water right now and I'm running around trying to do my normal morning stuff and clean up the water mess and usual litter box messes, feed everyone, and get dressed. I finally threw my hands in the air and ran outside to get to work. I put it from my mind vainly hoping the water would've dried by the time I got home. After a trip to the pet store where I purchased yet another pet fountain (low to the ground, nothing for her to grip or knock over, fingers crossed) I came home to find the carpet still wet (sigh), litter all over the kitchen floor and, of course, vomit in my bedroom. So I ran around my 83 degree house cleaning up messes, putting down towels and weights to try to soak up some more water and fixing up the new fountain. Finally got that settled, everybody fed, and could gulp down some food myself.
Long story short I've got a spare pet fountain now if anybody's interested, I just can't use it with Hachi in the house I'm afraid.
On a positive note the cooling system has the temperature down to 76, comfy... And I finally got to sit down and watch "The Choir", a BBC series about a young, adorable and utterly overconfident choir master who's decided to create a choir to take to the equivalent of the Olympics at a sort of down and out school in England. The kids look like they walked right off the set of Harry Potter and the choir master looks like a younger David Tennent. He had to do some cuts today and it was just devastating to see the kids who didn't make it being utterly gutted. If you get BBC America I highly recommend it.
