Houseguests and Crap

Something must be going on in the universe this weekend. Mercury must be out of retrograde. Or Venus is trining Uranus. Our place is crawling with houseguests. I'm hauling every camping mattress I can find out the basement, and clearing floor surfaces, trying to figure out where I can lay people out.
In the midst of this houseguest deluge, and while dischevelled man was giving our first round of guests a house tour, there was a shocking discovery: one of our cats CRAPPED right in the middle of a bed. We're not sure which cat did it. But the large amount of crap suggests that it was the adult cat. I'm not sure why he would do this. Some possible theories here:

1) The cat is freaked out about the number of people coming in.
2) The cat is finally trying to tell us that he is not happy about the arrival of Ti-gris.
3) The cat was sick, and just had a once-in-lifetime unfortunate accident.
4) The cat is trying to tell us that he hates us.
5) It wasn't the cat at all, but one of the houseguests.

OK, if it was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of thing, he sure chose a grand spot to leave it.
All I can say is: my kids were toilet-trained at 2, and I haven't looked back (thank God!).

I think it was this dishevelled man telling you he doesn't enjoy all this additional dischevellement instigated by all the houseguests as it takes the spotlight off his own dischevelledness

I'm with Woodsy. It's always the houseguests. Oh, and. Why were we dissing shevelledness in the first place...?

maybe someone or something had peed on the mattress prior and the cat smelled it and was marking its territory or yeah, it was probably a houseguest. you should always make sure that your invited houseguests are housetrained before inviting them over.

Cats hate change of any kind including house guests. The crap was a polite way of saying dont do it again :) Of course this begs the question...what will he do next time?
