Karma and boo-boo kitty
What did I do? J says my mom could really use a weekly housekeeper you in? I said "Sure ." She made a call to her friend K , I then had 2 houses to clean. Fast forward to a month later I now had at least 2 houses a day. But as Karma would have it one of those houses was the house of fur or a house full of "show " cats. Now first let me say that I myself love my pets a lot of the houses I cleaned had pets and they were usually the ones who warmly greeted me as I entered each home . But this was more then the average person can picture.
When I agreed to clean this home I drove out to the home to met with the owner/employer/I don't know what to call them I always thought that customer sounded a little like I was a hooker. Anyway we met "Hello" I say . "Hello." I am Mrs. _______. " "You will have your regular jobs like doing dishes, making beds, sweeping , dusting , moping" Mrs. _______ " says. "Let me show you around." She says with a smile. I quickly notice several long-haired cats roaming about .? ! I am thinking to myself hope she is not one of those crazy cat ladies that likes to knit sweaters for them and act like they are her children ( oh boy little did I know what karma had in store for me). As we go from room to room I notice 2 things 1st that all the doors are closed, second there are several cats as in about 6 to a room. yes I said 6 plus the one wondering around , she introduces me to each and every cat this is boo-boo kitty she purrs , and this is fluffy, Muffin, etc.. etc... I just smiled and wondered to myself if she wanted me to shake each paw or just a wave, or maybe a high five Each room had a "kitty" window in which the cats in that room could go outside to a fenced in area. She then took me outside to show me the other cats who had their very own home with a heater and air conditioner. I was to empty the litter pans, feed and water the cats. Ok easy enough I think. I needed the money so I took the job. After all how much trouble can 20 cats be YES I said 20. I came in one day to find Mrs.____ at home she wanted to show me the prize her cats one at their latest show.
After a couple of months of cleaning the following things took place.
1. I would leave the home feeling like I was wearing a fur jumpsuit.
2. Did I mention I have asthma , so I hacked and wheezed my way home to take a shower every week afterward.
3. Every other week I get a note from Mrs._____. telling to I forget to dust something , how can you tell with fur flying everywhere.
4. I would get another note saying I put a fork in the wrong slot in the drawer , do you see a pattern here?
5. I lost one of the cats once under the kitchen cabinet. It took me half the day to catch it and finish my work.
6. I begin to have very bad dreams that I let one of the cats out and could not get it back in the house. I would wake up in a cold sweat.
7. What was the straw that broke the cats back? I was tired and ready to go home , my inhaler was almost empty , I was finishing up my work when I turned my back for one minute when boo-boo kitty stole a rubber glove out of my basket of cleaning supplies and ran he did . I gave chase he was fast indeed. All kinds of scenario's played out my head for instance he eats the glove chokes on it and I have to Pay for a dead "show" cat. , or he eats it , poops it out later and I have to explain Mrs._____ why boo-boo kitty pooped out a glove. So I chased boo-boo kitty Thur the house he took a flying leap for the kitty window in slow motion I make a grab for him. I caught him by the tail and tried to tug the glove from his mouth , he really did had a grip on that glove but I showed him who was boss (not really) , he just got bored with the game of tug of war and let go.
After that I decided that whatever Karma had in mind for my career scooping the poop was not it.
