You should see my ceiling!

Wow.

Dinah (the painter) and her helper, Sunshine (yep, this is Seattle), really did a great job. The entire ceiling is done. Dinah says that's the worst part. It is so clean and bright and clean. It was so filthy and splotched. It is wonderful.

They were nice and nice about the cats. Plus, the cats really pulled one over on them.

Apparently, they let the cats in from the terrace while they were prepping and covering stuff in plastic. Then they put them outside. Then they decided they really needed a window open and the only window is the sliding glass door - which has no screen. That was just before I got home, they said. Anyway, they opened up the door and put the cats in the bathroom. No food, no water, no litter.

Then after I was home, they decided to go ahead and get the ceiling done in the bathroom, too. They opened the door and discovered that the no litter was not such a good idea. Somebody had pooped in the bathroom. A big poop. A very smelly poop. And they had to smell it while they painted.

I'm thinking they won't make that mistake again.

All is fine. The cats are fine. The ceiling is beautiful. I have cleared a spot on the bed to sleep on. I think I can find clothes to wear tomorrow. I have spot cleared on the couch and the TV un sheathed. I need to find my knitting needles and everything will be excellent.

OH and the Mariners beat the bejesus out of Kansas City this afternoon. I hate to look a win in the mouth but it was the KC opener. Seems like the Mariners could have won one this past weekend instead... I'm just saying.

You can lie on your bed and watch your ceiling until you fall asleep.

I would be so pissed off that someone locked my cat in the bathroom without at least water. I hope they don't do it again, because you might have to fire them and let me paint!

Don't mess with kitties!

Oh, they did have water... the toilet lid was up and they usually drink that anyway. And there were towels and other cushy stuff in the tub so it wasn't so bad. But, they should have given them the litter box. There is a small one on the terrace - easy to move. They will next time.

Oh good. My cat avoids the toilet because it fell in once. I put an upside down dixie cup in there and it was batting it around and SPLOOSH! I tried not to laugh too hard.

My sister's cat flushed himself once. I kid you not - he was playing with the water and slipped, then grabbed the handle trying to get out.
Hence his alternate name, Mr. Swirlybutt.

Whatever it is your cats did to help the Mariners, keep doo-dooing it it.

I totally forgot to try your cams to see what was going on yesterday. I will try to see today.

I am so glad to hear about the progress, better than waiting even if inconvenient for a while.

I just checked your cam and one of the cats looks so forlorn staring into the livingroom!! "Why can't I go in?"
