For years now, the cats have been getting water from a filtered pitcher...in fact, if I fill their bowls with tap water, they refuse to touch it. Mischief will even swat it out of the bowl. But, with 8 cats and a dog, it was becoming a full time job keeping the pitcher filled. So, this weekend's home improvement project was installing a under-sink water filter system in the bathroom beside their playroom. Doing this job should have taken about a hour, it took a little over three....why?......because the ENTIRE jellice tribe decided to help. During what had to be the funniest home improvement project ever, I learned a few things, and remembered a few things that I'd forgotten, like......
1. No matter how cramped a space you are working in, at least 2 cats will find a way to get in there with you.
2. Any time that you are working on something with tiny pieces, the cats will find those same tiny pieces to be incredibly fun to play with, to include a game that looks something like football and which results in the parts being swatted under the door.
3. A cat can make a rubber washer roll a long, long, long, long long way.
4. Its quite hard to screw tiny little nuts onto tiny little bolts while someone is swishing a tail under your nose.
5. Written instructions the size of a newspaper are a perfect place for 4 cats to take a nap!
6. Anything you drop is fair game!!
Other side of the coin....we made it work!!!
