I expected to be writing about what a nice time Dave and I had tonight. We hired a babysitter, went out to dinner followed by some small-town fun, bowling! However, shortly before the babysitter arrived, I decided to clean out the litter box. The litter box is in our downstairs bathroom. Now, to preface things, our cat likes to throw litter everywhere, the floor gets covered in litter after one visit. So after I cleaned out the crap on the inside, I picked up the litter box to sweep up the floor. When I picked up the litter box, I noticed the litter box was sitting in a puddle. I quickly identified this smell as urine, but not cat urine. Now, I can't say for certain, but I am 99% certain that this liquid came from a certain 3 yr old living amoung us. He's had a few accidents while peeing on the potty recently. (He needs to work on his aim!) Usually he tells me that there's pee-pee on the floor when it happens, but apparently not every time. I have no idea how long ago this accident happened. I cleaned the litter box 3 days ago, so not THAT long ago but still...
If any of you have a cat, you'll know that cat litter when wet either clumps or turns into a slimy, clay-like substance. This slimey substance was all over my floor and the bottom of the litter box. And those of your with babies may know how foul a diaper that's sat in the garabage can mroe than a day can smell. I got everything cleaned up but I'm not sure how long it will be before the SMELL goes away. It may be in my head. I'm going to have to break out the bleach and clean it again tomorrow!

LOL...Mathew needs to work on his aim too! Move the litter box, maybe?
ReplyDeletelol! ewwww, well at least your bathroom is likely sparkly clean now :) hope you guys still had a fun night!
ReplyDeleteHow about having him SIT to pee instead of standing. That should take care of the aiming issues. lol. I am sure he just thought it was easier to pee in the cat litter, after all it gets cleaned! That boy is smart. hahahaha So did you finally go out, or that was dead?
ReplyDeleteLOL, Zack was sitting. He's managed to do this once or twice before, but I was there to clean it up. He sits on the potty and some how squirts between the porcelin and the seat. His pants and underpants usually need to be changed as well! Unfortunately we can't come up with a better place for the litter box. There no cabinet under the sink, so it makes a decent place for litter box.
