Last night
You guys are going to be so jealous when I tell you what I did last night.
We have a cat who has decided that he doesn’t care to pee in his litter box and would rather pee on the rug 6 feet away from his litter box. Our vet asked us to, well, bring in a sample for testing so she can make sure there isn’t a health issue. So last night found me down in the basement sucking up cat pee with a syringe. I was concerned that I didn’t get enough, so I decided to check again this morning and try to get some more. However, since I am very absent-minded I figured I should leave myself a note so I wouldn’t forget. Had you stopped by my house this morning, you would have found the following helpful note on the island in the kitchen.
Remember the pee!
And the Alamo!
My husband added the Alamo bit this morning, but the really sad thing is that I nearly added the same thing myself last night. As I always say, we’re nuts, but at least we are nuts together.

I hope your kitty is ok.
Posted by: Gypsy at September 23, 2004 10:13 AMDo you guys always start out your day with a historical reference?
Posted by: Beth at September 23, 2004 10:33 AMMy husband and I are like that.
We're pretty sure that someday we won't need to speak to each other at all. We'll just look at each other and laugh out loud at our mutual jokes. This will scare people, and they will run away, and then we'll laugh at them for running away.
Posted by: Debbie at September 23, 2004 11:29 AMYou should send that one in to Foundmagazine.com. Thanks for the laugh. My hubby and I are the same way.
Posted by: Jazzy at September 23, 2004 11:46 AMThere's no basement in the Alamo!
(Isn't it sad that my first thought of this part of history was based on a Pee-wee Herman movie?)
Posted by: bmh at September 23, 2004 12:05 PMI don't think you can test kitty tinkel for crazy. I'm guessing the crazy is running rampid around your house.
Posted by: myllissa at September 23, 2004 12:08 PMHA! you two are great *g*
Posted by: Manda at September 23, 2004 01:33 PMI am so jealous.
Here is why.
Sucking cat pee up in a syringe is so much more appealing to me than following a puppy around the back yard looking for stool samples for a parvo test. Yes. Not so much fun. See, I have more than one dog, hence the following the puppy around because I didn't know who's poop was who's. Feel lucky right now.
I don't remember the Alamo. I wasn't there.
Posted by: Heather at September 23, 2004 09:09 PMMaybe your cat doesn't want to be "defined by a box."
This is the response my husband gave me when I told him his cat was "peeing outside the box."
We are weird as well.
Posted by: Wendy at September 24, 2004 12:15 AMBeen there, done that, blogged about it. Well, not the syringe part, but the inappropriate urination. There is nothing wrong with mine -- he's just insane. Hope there's nothing (physically) wrong with yours!
