Smelly Cat

Myth: Cats are anal-retentive about cleanliness.
Fact: No they are not.
The Cat has a habit of running around like a dervish, skidding across the floor. Today The Cat somehow managed to get a giant turd stuck in its fur, and proceeded to skid across the floor while we were away at work. Upon arriving home, Yehia could track the skidding habits of The Cat throughout the day, as the turd gradually dried on its fur and the skidmarks became more crumbly, less smeared.
The Cat was even kind enough to not clean itself completely. Yehia had just enough time before I got home to disinfect all of the floors throughout the apartment, and pick out the dried pieces from The Cat's fur.
The Cat is now clean and hiding in corners, in shame. Yehia and I are traumatised, and have officially delayed breeding plans. The entire house has been disinfected, with that distinct "pine-fresh" scent that can mask the most insidious of odours waiting for you when you open the front door. We shall never speak of this again.

AHHHHHHHAHAHAHA.
Although I shouldn't laugh too long or too loud. This has happened to us a couple of times - when the dingleberry somehow gets stuck and Symphony is totally traumatised and runs around trying to get it off. I think the skidding comes from her being upset and trying to get it off. We have witnessed this skidding first-hand, and although it has only happened maybe once a year, we are finely attuned to that special "run" she does when she gets out of the litter box and some of it is a little "stuck". We just look at each other, chase her down and pick it off. Lovely.
