How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Too Quiet Upstairs

in Uncategorized on 08/21/10

Note to self….if the only noise you hear upstairs is the occasional giggle and some water running, don’t assume your sweet girls are doing something productive

like brushing their teeth and getting ready for bed. Turns out they could be giving poor kitty a tub. If a cat could look angry…that would be his face!

Is it wrong that I think it’s a wee bit funny? One clean kitty that smells a tad like Aveda shampoo, one destroyed bathroom, one lesson learned. If it’s too quiet upstairs, run!

Ahh the joy of a rainy day in the suburbs.

      I thought cats hated bathes and they bathed themselves?

      I am so cat clueless.

      Poor pusscat, my cats would have shredded the girls, so I think he deserves an extra bowl of his favourite food for good behaviour. Give him a stroke from me.

      Well, kitty is sparkly clean and if they used Aveda I know she smells terrific! 🙂

      Poor kitty!!!

      I’ve always subscribed to the notion that if it’s quiet upstairs – then someone is up to something…..

      That is so funny! I love the kitty’s expression post-bath!

      Poor kitty! I’m surprised there wasn’t noise from the meowing and scratching 🙂

      Oh dear! Poor kitty. I couldn’t stop laughing about this either. The pictures are precious.

      LOL! To cute and funny! My girls are sneaky like that too. For that matter, so are my boys. I’m always suspicious when they get too quiet!

    13. woman:confused says

      August 21, 2010 at 10:26 pm

      Well.. it IS kinda funny!
      That being said, after the pictures were taken, there would be a stern conversation with my kiddos!

      Will your girls come to my house to wash my kitties. How I wish that they too smelled like Aveda shampoo. I can’t promise that blood won’t be present after the bath (because I have attempted and it didn’t turn out too well for me)……

    15. Me (aka Danielle) says

      August 21, 2010 at 10:19 pm

      That’s pretty funny! It could have been worse….They could have been painting a mural with toothpaste or cutting each others hair. A bath never hurt a cat (although, I’m not sure your cat would agree) 🙂

    Squee! It’s that time again — planning another #HomeExchange getaway!
Leaving the house behind and headed to Ontario cottage country. 🌲☀️
The hubby and I are planning a 7 night lakeside escape just a few hours from home, and honestly, this is where the girl math really starts mathing. After an expensive year, I’m extra grateful for our HomeExchange membership — and I love browsing all the gorgeous lakefront homes nearby!

Do you have a favourite town or lake in cottage country? Tell me!!

One annual membership fee + listing our home = unlimited swaps all year long. Affordable luxury travel for the win.
