My Mum Still Doesn’t get it
August 24th 2009 21:00
My Mum is slowly driving me crazy with her questions about cats. She keeps asking me how they go to the toilet. I must have told her at least ten times that cats use a kitty litter tray. I even went to the trouble of photographing Butterscotch doing a dump as proof of this. You can even see the cat turds in the photo but my Mum still has this idea that cats poo all over the floor.
I know that when my Mum was little she had a pet cat and yes, it did poo all over the floor. This was back in mainland China and no, my grandparents could not afford to pay a visit to the vet to ask if this was normal. Nor did it occur to my Mum or my grandparents to ask other people. Maybe they didn’t even sell kitty litter trays in my Mum’s village back then. Who knows?
In contrast, my Dad never asks about how cats go to the toilet. One, he isn’t interested and two, he already could tell from the stench of cat urine that Robert, a blue Persian who loved to visit our place, had been using our garden as a cat toilet. (I think my Dad also once found cat turds in the garden but don’t quote me on that.)
Well, as they say, you can lead a horse to the water…
