I have a question: Does your Mom or Dad go off on a cleaning tangent after the holidays? Is this some kind of cat parent requirement at this time of year? Is this a new kind of cat punishment?

Should I be concerned if all our toys somehow found themselves in a washing machine and now smell, well, not like cats? Should all our blankets smell like nothing? Personally, I like a particular fleece blanket to smell, quite frankly, like me. Sometimes, I’m not so fond of a different blanket that smells like one of my sisters, not all the time, just sometimes.

Should all boxes now smell like fresh cardboard? Is this a thing? Are cardboard box companies now making fresh cardboard box smells, or is someone changing them, all of them, while I’m napping?

And our litterboxes, really, I can’t even tell where I last left my urine. Should I ask for that back? Should I ask for everything back? The way things are going, it’s going to take me months just to find my own smells again. Based on smells alone, no one knows I even live here at the moment. Is this normal? Maybe I should go barf on something, so something smells like me.

  1. Memories of Eric and Flynn says:

    Don’t worry, Quint, you will be able to put your own smells back where they belong. It might take a while, but you will get there.

  2. As if you and your sisfurs aren’t willing to put that extra work in to get all items re-furred and stinked up just as you like ’em, Quint.

  3. 15andmeowing says:

    I should clean like that, but I haven’t in a long time. Tell your mom to marinate your toys in some nip. XO

    Poor baby. No, Mudpie’s Mommy doesn’t clean like that. In fact our Christmas decor is still up! Way too much going on to think about taking it down, so we’re still enjoying it.

  5. The lack of smell only lasts a very short time, just go about your normal routine and you will see.

  6. meowmeowmans says:

    We feel ya, Quint. It’s like they clean stuff all the time. All that work that undoes all the good work cats do to get things just right.
