Last night around nine pm Ruby was digging on the bed covers, we yelled at her to stop (that's what she does before she pees) and went to bed.
At four in the morning, Dim wakes me up ever-so-gently ("GOD DAMMIT!") to tell me that Ruby had pissed all over him and his side of the mattress.
While Dimitri tried to decipher the oh-so-complicated instructions on the washing machine, ("You mean I turn this on and it fills with water? Whoa.") I went out to the garage to check Ruby's box. There was a dead rat in it.
No wonder she didn't want to pee in it.
That poor cat was holding her bladder from nine pm until four am, when she couldn't take it anymore. She was trying to tell us there was a problem and we didn't pick up on it.
Dumb humans.
Posted by Jen at June 12, 2005 1:08 AMOh MAN! She did it again last night sans rat. I wonder why?
Cat people, help me out here.
Posted by: Jen McNamee at June 13, 2005 10:40 AMDo you think the rat just collapsed and died in the litter box? What was the cause of death? I think further investigation would show that the rat died under suspicious circumstances. CSI will find that the time of death was AFTER the pee was , um, peed. The cat attempted to cover her liquid crime by killing the rat and placing it in the litter box. Oh, she'll never admit it, but you know it's true.

Posted by: John at June 13, 2005 2:14 PMI was going to say the cat is mad mad mad at you for something. Probably the babysitter abused her. :)
Posted by: susan at June 13, 2005 3:02 PMSeriously though you might want to take her to the vet. The only time my cat peed on my bed was when she had a urinary tract infection.
Posted by: susan at June 13, 2005 3:49 PMThe rat was still pretty fresh, so it couldn't have been there long, especially with our summer heat.
We've been spoiling her more than usual since we've been back to make up for our time away. I need to keep a closer eye on her for the UTI thing.
Posted by: Jen McNamee at June 13, 2005 4:01 PMwow i can't believe susan accused me of abuse. that hurts.
