These critters, especially the ginger cat, leave messes on
the floor period. I asked Bob if it was malice or senility,
and he said that in the case of Punkin, he'd originally
thought the former but has softened his judgment a bit and
allows it might be the other. I believe all three are in
double digits in human years and who knows how old in
animal time.

Most pet owners I know tolerate if not encourage their
animals to eat people food. I feel this is a big mistake,
but under normal circumstances I don't have to do the
cleanup, so I shrug.

The house remedy for cat pee is vinegar, and I've almost
run out so had a friend come over (this place is miles
from nowhere) and deliver a gallon of it today, plus a
quart of bleach.

Uh, any kind of food causes farts from this dog.
