Old cat. New rug.

About two weeks ago our cat Clio suddenly decided it was okay to start shitting on the area rug in our home office. We just walked in one morning and were like, “WTF? There’s a turd on the floor.” Even worse, she peed on the rug. More than once. It wasn’t an expensive rug (we got it at IKEA) but I really liked it. The rug was lime green shag. Very retro and cool.

Clio has done this before. She ruined two rugs, a leather club chair and a beanbag—yes, a beanbag—at our last house. What kind of cat climbs into a beanbag and pees??

So now we have a new area rug in the office. This one isn’t from IKEA. It’s from PetSmart. We’ve constructed an area rug out of puppy pee pads. That’s right, folks. Our new rug is a bunch of doggie diapers placed side by side. How classy is that? Now when Clio pees we just pick up one section of the “rug” and throw it away. In fact, I had to do just that a minute ago. As I was writing this she struck again. I’m seriously not making that up.

And as you can see, Edgar uses it too. But thankfully he only sleeps on it.
