Litter Box Sledding

Sunday morning was quite traumatic for me. I got a new litter box (The Booda Dome is great -- thanks for telling me about it Rufus!) so my old one was cleaned out and sitting by the stairs waiting to be taken out to the Dumpster. I was running around the apartment in full force. I was especially hyper and moving at top speed. I spied the litter box and decided to jump into it. I took a running leap...and then it started to move. Not just a little. No, the whole thing tipped down and before I knew what was happening I was sledding down the stairs in my litter box. I was scared and kept trying to get my legs under me so I could jump out. I managed to get out of the litter box right before it crash landed against the door. I flew back up the stairs and under the couch. Frank, who had seen the entire thing, could barely stop laughing long enough to tell Jen what happened. It was awful. I thought it was cool when Goldie went sledding, but that didn't mean I wanted to try it. There are no pictures of the ordeal, but I will leave you today with a picture of the stairs. It's enough to give you nightmares!

  4. Aw, Tuck - I bet that really was scary (but maybe a little bit funny for anyone who was watching!) Those stairs look steep! Poor guy - hope you've recovered.

  8. While I realize that must have been scary, we're with The Island Cats on this one: We wanted to see it! I can only imagine the look on your face as you skidded down those stairs. We're glad you're ok, Tuck!

  16. The boys say that it looks like fun, but I would have been scared, too, Tuck. Then again, I'm a bit scared of a lot of things. Mom calls me her 'Fraidy Cat.

  18. Hahahaha! We wish we could have seen that. It's a good job you got out in time or there could have been a kitty shape hole in the door.

  19. We are all laughing so hard...sorry for doing that, but that must have been funny!!! Ok, it's only funny now because you are ok. We wish there had been a video to memorialize the whole thing...

  20. Oh my cats! That's funny, but scary at the same time, you could have gotten hurt which is the scary part, but you didn't and the story is pretty funny. You'll think so in a little while, maybe not right now but give it time and I bet you'll be sitting around giggling to yourself for no apparent reason in a few days when you think about it. I heard that my Mum did that the other day after I fell out of the chair.

  21. I bet you did hide behind the couch for a while! That musta been frightening, and we are glad you had a sled to protect you in a way...

  22. Poor Tuck - humans are cruel Mommy is giggling.

    ReplyDelete
  23. My mom is still laughing. You must forgive her!

  24. Oh, Tuck! That's my worst fear with my cats! They walk up the stairs then run down them as fast as they cat because they like to go sliding across the wood floor.

    Then this spring Cocoa got ahold of the Boot Butler, which is this plastic tray for holding wet snowboots, before I had a chance to put it away for the spring... Well, Tuck, you can imagine what happened!

  25. Tuck, you are always getting into trouble! Be careful! I hope this episode won't turn you sour on litter boxes. Maybe it is a good thing you got the Booda Dome. You might be too scared to step into that old one after it took you for a ride!

    I'm sure glad you're okay.

    P.S. Hooray! When I couldn't post the above comment, I got very frustrated, so I did some research and found out about a setting I needed to change in my Firefox Browser. Yea! I can now post on my buddy Tuck's blog (and all the others that have embedded comment forms!)

  26. Oh my Cod, Tuck! That stairway looks skeery! We're glad you're OK!

  27. Hello Tuck! I'm Noir. And you're gray, just like my Brother Earl Gray. I think I want to have one those new boxes like you! My human, Tommy says we all need to get a job first--and be careful!
