Fecal wars

Anytime you bring together two families through coupledom, you expect there to be an adjustment period. In our household, we've kind of gotten used to being woken up in the morning with the screams of one cat chasing the other under the bed for the sport of it.

I like to think of it as no worse than if we had real children who fought in the morning while they got dressed for school - but better because I don't have to get up to make eggs and check homework and get them on the bus in time.

However, they have recently taken it up a notch.

First, we have PC's cat. We'll call her Bitchy Cat (BC). Mostly because her meow truly sounds like she's yelling at you even when she's happy. Then we have MK (Mischievous Kitty) who is mine. We also have Happy Dog (HD) who typically stays out of it.

Now each animal has a flaw. Each starts with a P.

BC pees, MK poos, and HD pukes.

It's lovely. But, in the grand scheme of things, they might not grow out of these things like a baby might, but we don't have to worry about them coming home from Prom knocked up. So, I think we got the better deal.

Now, HD pretty much limits the puke to when we've cleaned the floors for company. MK does his little poo game when he's angry with us for not being home or not keeping the litter box clean enough. And, BC lives up to her name and pees out of spite whenever and wherever she wants.

Recently a war started. A fecal war.

It all started because BC likes to lay by the front door, preferably on the front door mat. I think it's so she can bitch at you from one place no matter where you are in the house. When not there, she likes to be under the front door table, about a foot away.

Thinking I'd be nice, I put a cat bed (MK's to be exact) half way between. I mean there's no reason that BC shouldn't have a nice soft bed to lay in while she bitches at us.

However, she must have known it was MK's bed so out of spite, she peed in it. Full on, walked over, and took a squat. A big old 'Fuck You' to MK.

I shook my head and went on about my day. MK, however, plotted his revenge.

Later, I discovered a pile of poo on her favorite door mat.

Which has resulted in more pee, and more poo...and so the cycle continues.

It's fun. This whole mixed family affair. Humans caught in the cross fire of fecal wars.
