Where do the cats go?
While in Joliet, Il for the WOW Tour, Molly and I ate a few times at the Cracker Barrel across from our hotel. If you’ve ever been in one, you’ve likely experienced the sensory overload that is the store separating the front door from the restaurant. It’s mostly junk, but occasionally you find a gem. I was not really looking for a gem when I decided to pick up How to Toilet-Train Your Cat: 21 Days to a Litter-Free Home as a joke for Kel. You see, our cats have been extremely defiant of late, leaving little presents on the new mattress we just bought from Ikea, so I thought the book might inject some levity into our normally curse-riddled conversations on the matter.
Much to my surprise, Kelly got really into it and she has now embarked on a crusade to “potty train” our two cats. We’d always laughed when we saw other cats do it in movies (most memorably Meet the Parents). I never thought we’d be able to get our cats to follow suit. Some of the information the book provides (beyond the training itself) is remarkable… if you are a cat person or simply interested in how domestication affects a species, it seems worth a read.
Anyway, in ≈19 days we should be litter free and we can start worrying about accidentally interrupting a kitty reading the morning paper. Should be pretty interesting.
