Had a bad dream about a good friend being ill...
It started with just one twirl of poop coming out of nowhere and then suddenly, the common corridor where my Dad tries to be an successful green thumb is full of cat poop here and there.
It's really beyond frustrating cos you don't know who's responsible and there's no one in particular to blame. There are plenty of suspects; we have more than one neighbour who rear cats, in fact the next door neighbour has a cat but I'm trying to curb my evil mind from thinking that they are the ones responsible. It could also be the increasing number of wild cats we have around here. Some nights we get to hear their melodious rhapsodies of love, some other times we hear their ferocious posturing before a cat fight.
Sigh... I don't mind the cats, I really don't. The wild ones are getting to look so beautiful (with full length tails mind you, no longer those tortured cats of the past) that sometimes you have to fight the urge to bring one home. The fur is so soft and pretty that you just KNOW they are very well fed. Courtesy of the cat lovers we have around the block.
The only biggest question I have here is: Does my plant rearing area look like a public toilet to anyone (or any cat for that matter)? I initially thought if enough poop appears maybe the cats will be disgusted too and will look for another toilet but nope, they fell in love with this beautiful, leafy green area for them to poop in.
You have no idea how many times I had come up with silly ideas of putting up signs like "Be Responsible! Clean up after your pet!" or "No Cats Allowed" or something as ridiculous.
Finally couldn't take it anymore. I went out and bought the biggest bottle of Dettol I could find, forced myself to clear all those shit and sprayed the whole area with Dettol to disinfect the place. I was beyond hysterical when I was clearing the shit cos there was just so much of it everywhere, OH MY GOD!! Luckily no neighbours were walking around or they'll surely think I'm siao.
Now it's all finally cleared away, hopefully, really hopefully the Dettol will double up as a deterrent cos of the smell. Do cats have a sensitive sense of smell too? I pray that this is the end of my poop terror cos I'm really breaking down in disgust. Why else would I be devoting a post to faeces?
