The Evil Flap

Kitties!

*lickety lickety*

*gulp*

Salem the TUBseedo Svelte here!

We read on Tuesday that our wonderful pal CORY is in a real pickle of a situation.  Her Mom and Dad put an Evil Cat Flap in the (big Human) door leading to the Ladies Room...and closed the door!  What's worse, they put poor Cory in the loo, and made her figure out the Cat Flap instead of opening the door like nice peoples.  Even worser is they laughed at her puzzling and puzzling over the mechanics of the Cat Flap.

Cory, in the spirit of solidarity and to avoid any further indignity--here's how it works. 

1.  Headbutt a corner.  Either one is OK.

2.  Push the Evil Cat Flap open with your forehead.

3.  Jump through like your tail's on fire!

Here Sweet  Pea bravely demonstrates a Common Cat Flap Peril...

Trailing Tail Syndrome!

Which can be avoided by not lollygagging when you pass through the opening.  (Or having a short tail.) 

Cory, I hopes this helps you in your struggle to take a pee.

Now, Mommy wants to tell y'all a Funny Flap Story:

Hi Kitties!  Mommy Trish here...when we lived in our old house back in Illinois we adopted a stray all-white blue-eyed deaf guy named Chuckles.  Scott had built a big chest in the garage with a hinged top and a Cat Flap entrance from the foyer for the litter boxes.  It was a fancy affair; it had an exhaust fan, LED lighting, and it was a four-holer, to boot!  It was the only "facilities" in the house, so anybody new had to learn to master the Flap right away.  I gave Chuck Flap Training on his first day--picked him up, and pushed his head through the hole, so he could see the toilets.  Naturally he struggled a little bit and I had to regrip to complete the pass through.  As Chuck SHOT through the Flap I felt something tug on my thumb.  Like an idiot, I sniffed my thumb and all of a sudden I realized what I thought was a tug was actually a sphincter squeeze!  Poor Chuck, here he is, the new guy in a new environment and some crazy lady violates his anus with her opposable thumb.

He never required a second lesson.

Happy Thursday!
