Yesterday I had a clinic appointment here in town. I made sure I parked at the far end of the parking lot. Well, yes, I did need the extra bit of exercise, but more importantly I really wasn’t ready to have anyone pass judgement on my car. I don’t think there was a five inch square anywhere on the hood, trunk or top that was not covered with kitty foot prints.
I am not up to washing my car yet, but today I took charge of doing things a bit different in the garage and the garage porch. Butter Ball and Snuggles both like to stand in the water dish with their front feet. About three feet away Dennis has always had the litter box. Out of the water dish and a walk past the litter box and you have the perfect recipe for feet ready to leave paw prints as they jump up onto the car to sit in their favorite spots in the rafters. As of today the food and water dish are now in the porch sitting on the carpet. The proximity to the car of the litter box has not changed, but the wall mounted vacuum has a long enough hose to be looped onto a hook near the litter box. It takes five seconds to run that vacuum across the area in front of the litter box to pick up any litter that may come out on the paws of the cats.
I have no idea how this will sit with Dennis as it is a break in his routine. I won’t know if this will make a difference on the decoupaged car until I get it washed.
I had to have something today for local effort and time will tell if my car can sit in any parking lot without passersby conjuring up images of a crazy cat lady.
