Day 1077: An adventure, of sorts

[eve_prime]

Although J put the cats outside this morning, it was rainy and they probably spent the day in a sheltered spot rather than using up their energy, because when we brought them in around 6 pm they were very, very active. And then J went off to sword class, and I went back to my own house.

You know how we did that big inventory of everything the cats could possibly break in J’s house? Somehow we managed not to include the floor lamp near the front door, which I found blocking the door from opening easily when I went over there around 10 pm, as J was driving home from sword class.

Eventually I made it inside:



A close-up:



There were LOTS of shards of glass all over the tiles and the carpet, with some of them a surprising distance away. The cats didn’t seem to have collected any in their paws, and we also managed to avoid injury while cleaning up the mess. We swept, then vacuumed, then wiped the whole floor (especially the edges and corners) with wet paper towels. I sure hope we got it all!

Oh, no! At least the cats seem to have avoided betting glass in their paws. Animals can always find a hazard that you never dreamed they could damage.

Ambrose was hiding when I got there, so we're guessing he was the culprit. Azalyn kept walking right through it until I'd gotten my things set down so I could pick her up and put her in another room, so it was quite a relief that her paws hadn't acquired any slivers.

Oh my gosh! What a not so great surprise to come home to!
Thankfully no glass in their paws... Yikes!

[eve_prime]

Yes, I'm so glad they weren't hurt!

[kaishin108]

Whew!

[claidheamhmor]

They will always find something...

[eve_prime]

They sure did.
