\nbundle of joy<\/a>, and, well, the cat’s pooper.<\/p>\nAt the moment, the cat’s little box of presents rests in what Jenn and I
\naffectionately call the baby’s room. Why do we call it that? There are two reasons.
\nFirst, on our first visit to the house, the little old lady who owned it
\nhad a beautiful crib in it as well as (if I remember correctly) a rocking
\nchair and other assorted baby furniture. Given the fact that we had baby on the
\nbrain even then (2 1\/2 years ago), I can’t help but think that the room
\nsubconsiously factored into our eventual buying decision. Second, because
\nof reason one, we had always earmarked the room for our first child. After
\nall, I quickly stole the other (and larger) bedroom for my computer
\nequipment.<\/p>\n
Why would we place the cat’s little sand dune into a room slated for our first
\noffspring? It was mostly out of convenience. The wife and I haven’t used the room
\nfor much of anything since we moved in. My mom gave me my old bed and the
\nsoon to be baby’s room was transformed into a guest room, a room that was
\nrarely, if ever, used. That still doesn’t quite explain it. After all, there
\nwere other rooms available. What about the laundry room in the basement? Enter
\nthe dog. Our cuddly, but hyperactive, little (or not so little) mutt. He can
\nalso be labeled the cat’s worst nightmare.<\/p>\n
Believe it or not, the cat doesn’t really like the dog (unless that hissing
\nnoise she makes is a sign of affection). The dog needed a home for his crate
\nand, given its size, it was an easy decision to put it in the laundry room. The
\ncat quickly, and in no uncertain terms, let us know that she would rarely visit
\nthat room again. The wife and I, being good, honest, poo-fearing people, promptly
\nmoved the box upstairs to its current resting place.<\/p>\n
Now the smelly box has to move but where to? The computer room is a good candidate.
\nIt actually housed the box for a while before. However, the smell of urine while
\nI type just doesn’t quite agree with me (Hmm, what about the closet in the computer
\nroom?). Our bedroom, the whole first floor, and the living room are out for
\nobvious reasons (too well visited, too visible). The laundry room may be
\nreinstated. It is still the most desirable area and we are crating the dog less and
\nless every day. The problem is that we are scared to make the transition. We
\ndon’t want to give the cat a reason to make a new sandbox of her own.<\/p>\n
We may try a gradual transition, placing the box closer and closer to its desired
\nlocation until the kitty submits to our will. I may consider placing it on the roof.
\nIn any case, we could use your prayers. Here’s hoping that my next present is
\nplaced in wrapping paper, not presented to me on my pillow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
You know, there is something about spending some time pondering the location of poop, especially when that poop doesn’t actually exist yet. However, that is just what my wife and I have been doing on and off for the past couple of days. See, we have a bit of a quandry.
