We have two big walk-in closets in our apartment. A couple of our cats love to try to sneak in there any time one of the closet doors are open. Well, my husband doesn’t always check to see if there’s anyone in there when he closes the door.
My cats have a morning routine. Even though I don’t have a job to get up and go to, it is important for me to get up when my husband does. Salvador, my youngest kitty, is a huge helper in the morning. He hangs out in the bathroom while my husband takes a shower and then proceeds to help him get dressed, etc. Then he comes and helps me in the kitchen while I pack my husbands lunch (he loves lunchmeat!) Meanwhile, my cat Muffy waits on the arm of the couch for me to put her glass of water on the tv tray sitting next to it. Don’t ask me why my cats prefer to drink water out of a glass, but they do. It doesn’t matter that they have a nice big bowl of water next to their food, they just gotta have the glass. My oldest kitty, Dixie, loves two things in the morning: lapping the water from the bathtub and going out on the balcony.
I am pretty good about knowing where my kitties are in the apartment, especially after someone has gone through the door leading to the outside world. Well, this morning after my husband left for work, Dixie wasn’t sitting by the balcony door as usual. I looked in all her hiding places: under both beds, in the bathroom and kitchen cabinets, and in the bathtub - no Dixie. I finally looked in the walk-in closet. There she was. Poor thing was locked in the closet. She hadn’t been in there long, but she wasn’t too happy about it. Luckily it was all forgotten when we got to go hang out on the balcony.
