Most of the stuff in our house looks like the kind of stuff someone would buy to furnish their house if they were still in grad school, or if they had just gotten their first real job out of grad school and were still broke. But, when we moved to Pittsburgh, Costco had an oriental rug event (where someone who’s not normally there comes in and sells rugs), and I bought a nice green oriental rug for the entrance to our living room. It does not cover the whole room- most of the room is covered in a cheap rug from Target. It wasn’t even really that expensive, as these things go, but it is nicer than most of the stuff we have in our house.
So, Neville kitties, WHY must you use the green rug as a kitty toilet/vomitorium? (yes, I know Romans didn’t actually vomit in a vomitorium) I just got it back from the dry cleaners, after Luna registered her protest about something by peeing on this rug, in full view of Mr. Neville. I pulled a muscle in my shoulder getting it from the cleaners to the car. It has been back less than 48 hours, and this morning there was cat vomit on it.
Dammit, kitties, why can’t you use one of our other rugs for that, if a rug is the only thing that will do? They’re Target or Costco specials that I wouldn’t be nearly as upset to see damaged (though replacing or cleaning the big rug in the living room would be a pain in the butt). But no, you have exquisite taste when you’re looking for somewhere to pee in protest, or hurl.
Sorry, I don’t have any good online pics of the kitties.
