What would you would attempt, were you not guaranteed to fail?

(I’ve changed the wording slightly to make it a better fit for today’s catastrophe.)

I’d make cats stop being massive shites. But, since it’s impossible, I shan’t even bother to try.

The Bus of Misrule usually stops off here in October, but it seems to have passed us by and, instead, made a quick return trip to the south coast. 

My sister’s family have barely recovered from Otis’s bullshittery, and now it’s Roux’s turn.

Bastard cat.

The evil deed took place at the witching hour of 3am. Roux’s human mamma and big sister were having a sleepover in said bedroom, when they were awoken to the sound of scratching. The little sod had peed on the newly-laid carpet – so new, in fact, that the humans had not yet paid the invoice for it. 

The family WhatsApp group is now pinging away merrily with links to orange oil, enzyme-based carpet cleaner and various other substances known for repelling pissy cats. Since Louis Catorze has only ever toileted inappropriately twice, each time when a human* had inadvertently blocked his exit route, for once in my life I can use “Sorry I can’t be of any help here” as a flex.

*Not me.

Cats, come on, please give us a break. (Catorze, as you were.)

Even he looks surprised that he’s behaving.

    I can’t be of any help either. Poor Otis and Roux’s human parents.

    An enzymatic spray specifically designed for cats will work like a charm. I’ve used one a number of times. BUT you have to give it time to do its thing, which is around two weeks. Keep the cat away from the treated area for at least that long, otherwise it will keep re-upping there.

      I’ll let them know, thank you!

    That is very unfortunate. Roux was apparently marking the new carpet to keep other cats away.

      Oh dear! Is that going to happen with any new furnishings brought into the house?

        If that is the first time, there was probably something in the carpet that triggered him.

    I don’t want to do anything if the outcome is guaranteed. Where’s the fun in that? I want life to be unpredictable and surprising!

        I might be. My cat seems to think that we’re brothers
