Curiosity Spilled The Cat

Posted 01.31.2007 by AssBlaster2000 (1116)
Editor's note: this was originally published on the forums.

Thursday morning, one week before Thanksgiving. It started out like any other. I got up at 8:30 or so and went into the computer room where Mr. Blaster was playing games after work. There were two small crusty spots on the carpet because one of our cats, Suzi, had puked twice the day before, and I hadn't done an efficient job cleaning them up. In fact, I hadn't cleaned one up at all because it had happened right before I had to go to work and I didn't have time. I figured that since my loving husband was sitting at the computer two feet away from it, he would get grossed out and, oh, I don't know, maybe clean it up or something.

That puke had been kinda gross, too. Because of Suzi's hairball problem, she wasn't able to swallow it right, and it basically came right back up again. It looked like it just came out of the can.

Anyway, I figured I ought to get out the spot shampooer and take care of the crustiness in the carpet. As our other cat, Barkley, who takes what may very well be the smelliest shits on the face of the earth, came in to honk a feline dirt snake, I figured it would be a good time to go get the spot shampooer ready and avoid the brunt of the smell.

When I came back, I was figuring on cleaning up two tiny spots of leftover puke, but NOOOOOOO -- Barkley had something else in store for me. Something brown, and nearly two feet long, smeared on the carpet.

I just sort of stared at this stain, puzzled, like a forensic investigator investigating the bloody aftermath of a murder scene. How did it get there? Why, oh why, was this poop trail so long?

After inspecting the surrounding evidence, I deduced that Barkley had apparently had a mushy turd that didn't exactly exit her ass properly. It hung on like a dingleberry on steroids and attached itself to the bottom of her tail. This turd had plans on seeing the world. There was a large brown stain right where Barkley had stepped off the plastic that covers the carpet around the litter box, and a long trail about the width of her tail and somewhat longer after it. Apparently she had seen fit to drag her ass on the carpet. Greaaaaaat.

Because it was fresh, the cleanup of this turd trail went without incident. The spot shampooer did its job, and Mr. Blaster went right on playing his computer game. I was going to sit back and relax a bit before getting ready for work until Barkley came -- nay, slunk -- into the computer room. There was something stuck to her tail. Carpet fuzz? Nay, dingleberries. Are you expecting any less by now?

I took her over to the kitchen sink expecting to wipe her ass with paper towels. That was about as futile as shoveling snow with a spork. It was time for Barkley to get a bath.

It's times like these that I'm eternally grateful for my Shower Massage. I blasted her little bum with a stream of water with one hand while holding her tail up with the other and trying to block her from escaping the bathtub with my legs. Dingleberries streamed toward the drain. I was so glad I hadn't taken a shower yet. The tub and then my feet were getting thoroughly rinsed and scrubbed.

Barkley yowled like I was violating her with a prize-winning zucchini. Suzi scratched at the bathroom door, trying to free her companion from a watery demise. Mr. Blaster just kept on playing his computer game.

This took longer than I had expected. It was like a dingleberry convention back there. Mr. Blaster came in to help, and Barkley calmed down nicely as he reassured her. At last the dingleberries were all gone, and we were left with a pissed-off wet kitty. Mr. Blaster dried her with our towels, and I was glad that I had put the dark green towels out instead of the good white ones. We let her go and she ran into the living room. I covered the good couch with blankets so she wouldn't get it wet -- and then I saw it. A nice little round brown stain right at the edge of the carpet.

No, it never ends. I went into the kitchen to refill the spot shampooer and saw that I had made an error in judgment in taking Barkley to the sink. Poo. All over the sink. Where in my house wasn't there poo at this point?

Well, those spots cleaned up rather uneventfully. The cat was clean, and it was finally time for me to take a shower and eat some damn breakfast. While I was eating, I said to Mr. Blaster, "Thanks for cleaning up Suzi's puke yesterday."

"I didn't clean up the puke."

Okay, ew. First ew from the fact that he didn't clean it up; and the second ew from wondering who did.

Barkley.

Thus my tip of the day: don't eat puke. It might give you dingleberries.

(In Barkley's defense, Suzi's puke did look like it was fresh out of the can. In Mr. Blaster's defense, that room is mostly used for cats and computers, it's not a high-traffic area, and puke has been known to fester for a day in there if we are away. He was just following precedent. The carpet in there is thirty years old, and he did shampoo the carpets in there and in the living room the following Sunday.)

(Suzi is now on a much stricter regimen of hairball medicine. She still pukes, but only because she's a stupid cat and eats too fast. Also, she doesn't really get the concept of chewing.)

(Barkley seems to have learned from her experience, and doesn't eat the puke anymore. Apparently she's the smarter one. Everything is relative, I suppose. Her tail is also about three shades lighter.)

I'm not sure if the title I gave to this story makes sense. Curious about... what? What puke tasted like?

The only other title I could think of was "Cat's Got Your Dung," which doesn't really work either.

*Hangs head*

DungDaddy (1386) -- 01.31.2007

I would suggest "Why I Shot My Cats."

shitwit (571) -- 01.31.2007

Ahh, Dave, don't fret about this for too long. I knew exactly what I was getting into when I opened up this can of um... cat food. We had 2 cats for a long time and they made very interesting artwork all over the off-white (?!!!!) carpeting in our old apartment. One was the puker, the other the mad shittah! I feel your pain AB2K! Right down to the hubby that nonchalantly keeps playing computer games just a mere foot away from the scene of the crime. My only question is: which do you strangle first? Hubby or kitty? Just kidding! Please dont' get upset, Daphne!

Toots N. McCrack (160) -- 01.31.2007

Dave's *hangs head* comment was just as funny as the story!

I can totally relate, I had a housemate that somehow didn't see or smell pet messes until I was there cleaning them.

How about "CatAsstrophy at AB2K's place"

Bunga Din (1239) -- 01.31.2007

Cat'O'Hind Tales? This was a very enjoyable PR, I love Mr. Blasters nonchalance and the dedication AB2K shows in getting to the root of the problem. Cats can be the stupidest animals.

When I was a teen we had a cat named Ralph (cause he puked a lot) and he would eat tinsel off the Christmas tree (yes I know tinsel can kill cats, he could open the livingroom door with his paw even though we had an elastic on the door knobs). Anyway Ralph would take a shit and sometimes he'd have tinsel hanging out his ass, one time he had about a foot of tinsel hanging out with a furrbally shit on the end, my Dad and I chased him all over the house to yank it off (so he wouldn't leave shit dust everywhere). We couldn't catch him and he went around like this for a day, you'd see this tinsel entombed shitball go flying by, it was really something, really got the Christmas spirit going.

The Shit Volcano (3740) -- 01.31.2007

I think CEP's title is perfect for this story!

Anyway, AB2K, I can sympathize with you. We have always had cats in this house and the population has fluctuated from as little as two to as many sixteen. It currently sits at seven. I have had to clean up numerous piles of cat barf, cat shit, shit-looking hairballs, and severed heads of unfortunate mice. Sometimes my cat Si will leave a whole mouse in the food bag, as if she expects to come back and eat it later.

You'd think dogs would be a much better choice, but no. We have four of those right now and one of them isn't spayed yet. This means "blood wipes" whenever she's in heat. Plus piss and shit (mostly on the puppy pads, thank god), puke of all colors and textures, drool, mud and dust, dead animals smells (when they go rolling), and Reedy's occasional impacted anal gland squirt. There is no end to it.

Oh, well. At least we have the occasional thrill of scaring our cats to death. And dogs, if they're cowards.

Deja Poo (649) -- 01.31.2007

No wonder your cat could haul ass around the house like that, Bunga. It was able to deploy its own tinsel-and-turd drag chute.

GottaGoGirl (2616) -- 01.31.2007

"The Blasters' CatASStrophy", perhaps?

I love this story the second time around, too. Kind of like Barkley...

I applaud Mr. Blaster for the calm and collected way dealt with the situation. A lesser talent would not have been able to keep focused on his computer game with all the poop cleaning and cat asswashing going on around him.

I know its still early in the year Dave but I believe we have a nominee for story of the year. In my books anyone who uses the descriptive phrase honk a feline dirt snake deserves MY nomination. I am still chuckling over here ROFLMFAO. Tremendous story there assblaster!

My cat uses pooping and vomiting as a weapon. Whenever she senses that we're trying to change her strict, 13-year-old regimental habits in some way (such as getting her to drink out of the water pot rather than the sink), she always has the 2-ended candle at her disposal.

Maybe that "cat wash" idea isn't so bad after all: http://youtube.com/watch?v=15bwhVxw-Bg

CEP: so you liked the adrenalin rush you got after being 'greated' on PR? Good deal. Keep it up.

Very nice to see another AB2K story, and as usuall another gem.

Though I am dry on other names for this story. I can give a great tip for cleaning cat puke.

I usually use luke warm water and AJAX dish soap, this is a very effective method of cleaning poop or puke stains.

"Barkley yowled like I was violating her with a prize-winning zucchini." That line had me laughing out loud.

Queenie, that was one of the meanest things I've ever seen. Poor kitty.

This is why I can't own pets. I don't have the stomach to clean up their poo/puke. Props to your iron stomach :)

I was house sittng for a friend with two cats--they were pissed that their owners were gone and I took their place. They retaliated by shitting all over the place and got satisfaction from me gagging while I cleaned the nasty stuff up.

Hehe the images I got from this post hehe Nice discriptions :) I laughed my ass off at this one:

"I just sort of stared at this stain, puzzled, like a forensic investigator investigating the bloody aftermath of a murder scene. How did it get there? Why, oh why, was this poop trail so long?"

punishit (20) -- 02.06.2007

Hey, I know about kitty's poop. Really. The cat I used to have (God rest her soul, and soil), had a penchant for leaving some very messy and indescribable shits. It happens.
I thought it was a good story on pet mishaps, and although I hope it doesn't happen again, if it does, please keep us poop reporters informed. I enjoyed.
Thanks.

"Feline dirt Snake"... great name for a rock band....

One time I like had these big socks that bagged around my feet. I walked in one day and there was a splatter of green all over my bedroom floor. I ran in, slipped in my socks, and fell on my cat's barf. Then I took a long shower and farted all over my self a lot. I don't know where my cat went but I think she ate her barf.

KnuxTheFox (24) -- 02.22.2007

That was some "CatASStrophy", there, AB2K. I've had so much experience working and living with cats, but I've never heard something so......um....dramatic? Great story! And GranniePanties, you made me cringe, just now.

Whoa..Poor kitty..Hubby should've been nice and cleaned up..You see it. You deal with it.But(t) then we'd have no story.

Had a chronically ill kitty..My mom refered to her leaking as "sputtering." She was still a sweet kitty.
