Flashback#5

Nothing too eventful has happened, as of late *knock on wood, cross fingers, eyes, toes and throw salt over my left shoulder*, so I have had to resort to posting flashbacks. Luckily for me, there are many!

This is another "pregnant story". I was 7 months pregnant with my oldest. We had a problem with keeping one of our two cats, out of the new baby crib. I had the idea to put clear packaging tape, sticky side up on the crib mattress. With the idea, cats don't like sticky stuff on their paws and maybe this will deter her. She was a tiny cat, definitely the runt of the litter and...well...she wasn't the brightest cat,either, so we were worried that this wouldn't work.

I was sitting down in our den, chatting with my husband via IM (he was at work), when I heard a screech! I ran up the stairs and reached the main floor, just in time to see our cat, BooBoo, haul ass down the steps into the living room, with a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE wad of packaging tape stuck to her butt. I'm talking basketball sized, so basically ALL of the tape that I used. She ran over our other cat, Nappy (short for Napoleon) and was just tearing around the main floor...screeching like someone was stabbing her to death. Nappy was all puffed out and hissing and I was laughing hysterically, to the point of near pants peeing, in the kitchen. She raced down to our basement, caterwauling and screeching the whole way and finally lost the tape. She never got in the baby crib, ever again.
