Dear Del,
I was just reading your wonderful tribute to Effie. I had to smile when you described the great 'confetti' that can be made from unwatched paper towels and toilet paper.
My tribe once did a variation on this theme (I guess they were really bored that day). I had given Luna an enema one night; in the bathroom so she was easily put in the tub for a quick butt-bath. She has her own shallow litter box for these events and I use a small amount of clay litter because she digs and digs and the lightweight Cedarific ends up all over the floor and not in the box. Well, it was a weeknight and I was busy, so when we were done I cleaned up, but forgot the bag of litter in the bathroom. I didn't notice because I only use it when Luna is having an enema. We got through the night just fine and I came home from work to a house that was just too quiet (know what I mean???) and not enough furry bodies greeted me at the door. I started looking around the house, getting more and more suspicious. Finally I made my way upstairs and, gee, the bathroom door was almost all the way closed and there were noises coming from
inside. I pushed the door open to a floor completely covered in cat litter! Several little faces stopped (they were having a high old time playing in the litter) and I swear they looked guilty! And, yes, over in one corner, one of the little darlings had left a 'deposit' (hey, it's litter, right?).
Little stinkers!!
