I Don’t Plan to Laugh About This, Like, Ever

Believe it or not, blogging was not the first thing that occurred to me when I went into the family room this morning and found the 13X30 space tracked from one end to the other with black cat paw prints. This means you’re not getting the “full effect” photos. The picture below is  after my best cleaning effort. Remember that sea of cream carpeting I blogged about last year? OK, this is totally it:

The grate in front of the fire place was pushed out and the paw prints started there. Under my craft table was a large wet spot of black: soot cat vomit. The entire room is tracked with putty cat prints. I am not exaggerating on this point. I couldn’t believe it as I got out the vacuum and did my best to get up the prints. They romped into all the nooks and crannies.

I called the culprits this morning with my cooing voice to get pictures but they didn’t get any damned treats for posing. Little bastards:

I have a call in to Maurer’s carpet cleaners. I could have waited until they were open but instead I called them at 6:30 when I found the mess and left a message.

I can’t even be cute and amusing in blog fashion about this. My sea of cream carpeting is an unmistakable romp of black kitty cat paw prints.
