Scaring the Poo Out of a Cat...Unfortunately Literally

This is Firefly and that is his favorite spot.

So, I had a very interesting and unfortunate thing happen to me the other night. If you have not gathered what from the title then let me explain.

My cats are not allowed on the kitchen counters. Ever. That is my pet peeve when it comes to cats (teehee...pet peeve). I do not want an animal that steps all over and buries its feces running around on a surface that I fix food on. It is just a major yuck factor for me. The cats are very aware that they are not allowed on the counters. They have been reminded with sprays from a water bottle and verbal reprimands every time. I like to be consistent. This isn't a huge issue but sometimes they try to test their boundaries.

Anyways, the other night I was feeling a little restless. Everyone else was asleep but I felt like I needed to get up and check things (I do this occasionally...I know I am strange). I am making my way around the house turning off lights that we may have forgotten.

Well, as soon as I round the corner...there he is. Up on the kitchen counter. Sneaky little devil! So, I rush towards where I keep the water bottle, which is very close to him, and then it happens. Right there, on my pristine kitchen counter, he poops! Okay...maybe not "pristine" exactly, but certainly better off before there was poop! I was in shock. My cat literally just pooped on my counter!

Needless to say I did not go back to bed for awhile and I was very grumpy at a certain adorable fluff ball named Firefly. I had no idea that this could happen to cats but according to google it does happen. I am hoping one day I can look back on this and laugh but for now we can leave it at Firefly:1 Tiphanie:0
