So I thought Ayla was still worn out from her morning romp and went upstairs to take a shower. I try to leave her out when I can and like feeling like I can trust her to behave at least a little bit. But apparently I was mistaken and this day is going to hold many chaotic events.
While I was in the shower, I heard something banging around and then what sounded like her food bowl. I thought she must be awake now and getting some water. But the banging came again and a again and it dawned on me that she must have squeezed herself through the baby gate on the stairs again so she could raid the cat food dishes. They always have a big container of dry food available as well as whatever they don’t feel like eating from breakfast. So when I got out of the shower, already telling Ayla to stop whatever it was she was doing, I see her standing on the stairs, with the cat food container in front of her on its side. Apparenlty the banging I had heard was her pushing this plastic thing down the stairs in an attempt to get every last piece of cat food out of there. Of course if she was smarter or more patient, she would have realized that it is a feeder and the food drops down to the bottom automatically. So I guess what was left in there was about the same portion she would have for lunch so she has decided to forgo her canned stomach meal with veggie flakes for the cat food. I sure hope she enjoyed it. This day is going to be a wild one I think. Hopefully she doesn’t do something totally crazy on the way to pick up hubbers.
She still smells like dirt but there are certainly worse things to smell like. And her nose still has dirt all over it so we will have to negotiate a nice long brushing this afternoon.
