So Very Disturbing

[cornerofmadness]

The disturbing started last night when just was I was going to be and had the lights all off I saw Kanda in his kitty bed in the position. I freaked on him but far too late. He emptied a bladder full right into his bed. I was so upset. I had to put the bed outside since it reeked (figuring every cat in the world will now spray it and my place.) It’s 2 AM. The only thing I can think of is a) he’s marking territory and I’m screwed or b) the litter box is too dirty. So I dump that out and it reeks. I had meant to clean it fully but I keep having to clean up after mice and it wasn’t happening at 2 in the morning. I refill it, hot shot the carpet where pee soaked thru and go to bed.

Had more weird-ass dreams. I’m staying at my grandmother’s only the old house is much more elaborate. I’m on the second floor at first to see that it was flooded in the bathroom and that much of the old walls were totally undone. Then I’m back in the bedroom portion totally having forgotten that. I’m looking out the windows and I have to pee. I can’t find a toilet (ah the pee dreams). Then I remember that I’m in the master bath. I go in but just as I see not one but two toilets, J, my grandma’s nurse comes in to talk. I try to explain that I need to use the toilet then I notice that the second toilet has overflowed everywhere. J. says she had flushed it about an hour ago. I’m mad because there’s ankle deep water everywhere in the old house.

Mom comes upstairs very mad at J for not checking that toilet. Then we find corn down inside the unfinished old wall. It’s so hot up there it’s been popped, the corn that is. Suddenly it’s all cleaned and we’re taking J home. Dad is driving (even though we’re heading down a road in the direction that would lead to grandma’s house not away) He stops to let J out and cars just keep whizzing by. Mom remarks how busy the road is getting any more and Dad says next time he’ll drive all the way out on the back road and loop down. I mention that I do that most of the time and he mocks me and takes away my driving privileges, tells me to take a bus.

Sure enough I’m trying to catch a bus with mom but now we’re in the city. The bus has two lines, one short and one long. Naturally I try to cut into the short line but I’m told it’s ‘only for fighters.’ Perplexed I want to leave but mom doesn’t. It turns out to be like a fight club bus only more violent. They try to recruit me as one of their bitches and I’m watching the girls on the bus, all of them holding naked blackmail photos to keep them in line. (This was long and drawn out and I don’t remember much other that the girls’ naked bottoms and bloody handprints on them)

I get off the bus which reeks of blood and worse. The cops talk to me and the news flashes with several of these fighters and promoters being rounded up, screaming they’re innocent or it’s just a game meanwhile they have severed heads, gut piles and skinned faces in their place as trophies. That’s when I wake up, realize it’s a half hour before my alarm and decide just to stay up.

Go to the bathroom and see there is kibble on the floor next to the spray foam. They’ve made their way around it. Kanda was interested in that place yesterday and I kept shooing him away because I was afraid he’d gnaw on the toxic foam or get into the toilet cleaner behind the toilet.

Fuck. I have no idea what to do now. I could put another trap there and keep the door shut. But that means I have to leave the kibble out where the mice can get it because if Kanda stays in, he needs food. He wants to stay in. I want him to but it’s hard to put out traps with him around.

Time to put a note on the landlord's door - I STILL HAVE MICE. FIX THIS.

I had one of my gigantic house dreams this a.m., too.
Weird.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oh no kidding.

that is weird. also weird, two days in a row I've had nightmares, two days in a row my sugar is nearly normal when I wake...

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Did you put the note on the door?

Nightmares eat excess sugar?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

not yet

i'd take that trade off

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

You were supposed to do that LAST WEEK. Write the note tonight. Put it on his door tomorrow.

Hmmm...well, nightmares can be fun.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

if i remember

or at least interesting

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

DOOO EEEET.

My pee dreams are almost always 'the toilet is in a public place' kind of dreams. I'm not sure what that means, and pretty sure I don't want to know. LOL

I just bought the boys a (too damned expensive) Litter Maid pan. It does work pretty good but the bit where I only have to replace the disposable pan once a week doesn't work with two cats. Still, it is nice to have the litter automatically raked after every use.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

usually my pee dreams are too so this one was different.


so they like that? I've had friends whose cats were terrified of it. Kanda likes to attack any equipment making a sound.

I sure hope this pee adventure of his was due to a stinky dirty box because I can't have that happening

[sp23.livejournal.com]

They seem to be getting used to it, and they're both using it more than the other two boxes which I've left out for the time being. I'll still keep the regular one in the laundry room, but once I know for sure they're used to the Litter Maid, I'll take the second box away.

TJ always runs over and watched with the rake moves. JT is less thrilled with it, but he watches it, too. Any new thing like that takes time. I bought them a fountain, and it took them a couple days to get used to the steady stream of water and the humming sound of the motor, but now they seem to love it and lap from the stream almost more than from the bowl.*

*No, my cats aren't spoiled. Why do you ask? LOL

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

a water fountain for the cats? No those cats aren't spoiled at all

[sp23.livejournal.com]

Yep. I bought them this (http://www.petco.com/product/102336/Drinkwell-Platinum-Pet-Fountain.aspx?CoreCat=CatSFC_BowlsFeedersWaterers). I love it because I don't have to fill two water bowls twice a day, and the cats always have fresh water to drink. I joke that I don't drink filtered water, but my cats do.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

hahaha sweet. I had considered one of those myself because I am lazy

[bob_fish.livejournal.com]

Wow, that is one crazy dream. I can believe that you could keep a bus full of crazy fight club girls in line, though. XD

Re. the mice, have you tried those sonic deterrent thingies? We have one in our kitchen. I should add that it seems to deter the mice in our old building, but the enormous rat we had last year did not give a damn.

Enemy, if you're reading this, since you're about to be sleeping in my flat, I should add that the rat has been dead and gone for many months.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

my dreams are usually crazy

I have a sonic thing right by the hole. the mice do not care

[bob_fish.livejournal.com]

Giant hammer?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

a cat that's worth a lick?

[bob_fish.livejournal.com]

XD Cats are there for their own convenience, not yours.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes that is true. glares at the idiot for peeing on furniture at 2 in the morning

[marynachaotica.livejournal.com]

You are VERY upset about the situation in the bathroom, and how out of control you feel about the entire situation. So it shows up in some funky ways in your dreams to stir things up even more.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

nah mostly I had to pee. this is a pretty typical pee dream for me

[salomesensei.livejournal.com]

My sympathies entirely about the mice. Try a humane trap perhaps bc the cat can't get inside?

As for pee dreams, not bad. Mine often involve filthy horrid bathrooms or chairs with holes in them or I pee but keep having to pee more and fear I have a bladder infection.

At least I'm not having the "doorway's too small to get in" or "living in an apartment and have to climb in the window because we don't have a door" dreams lately. Or the loose teeth dreams.

Ah nightlife.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i have humane traps, inhumane traps in the closed off closets, sonic warnings, yeah these mice ain't impressed.

Yeah i have a lot of those kind of pee dreams too

dreams are just so weird

[jojo-kun.livejournal.com]

That's so strange! Usually cats won't pee where they eat or sleep. He must have been angry about something? Disturbed?

I have toilet and/or pee dreams pretty often. Usually the toilet is semi-public (i.e. low or non-existent stalls) or else they're strangely designed or broken/dirty. Generally I take it as a sign that I need to express myself, but I feel inhibited by my surroundings. Or I have to pee.

Those goddamn mice! You know what a friend of mine told me who had really bad mice problems? Well, this won't work with a cat in the house, but he took a bucket and filled it halfway or so with water. Then he took an empty paper towel roll and wrapped the middle of it it in bacon strips, and put the wrapped paper towel roll on a stick, balanced on the rim of the bucket. The mice would crawl onto the paper towel roll in order to get at the bacon, and they would fall in the water and drown. Fuck humane. This is war.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that was my thought too. He could be angry (this is his first time sleeping inside the house 24/7 (we're up to day 3 last night) and I'm wondering if the female in heat atrracted males that kicked his ass on Friday and he's upset about it.

Yeah I get the weird public toilets or the I can't find the toilet dreams

I have a couple of rooms I could close off to the cat and do that...
