One of my dearest friends just posted on her blog, asking the question: "Do I have urine in my hair?" I'll leave you to imagine how that story unfolds...
But this morning I find myself asking a similar question.
I got my things together, ready to leave my house this morning to go to work to do some curriculum development on this sunny Friday morning. I slipped on my shoes and headed out the door. While walking to the car, I noticed that one of my shoes felt a little damp and warm, but didn't think much of it because the shoes are SO old and worn out and my feet always sweat in them anyways.
As I drove to work, I noticed more and more that my foot was "slipping" inside my shoe whenever I'd put my foot on the pedal. Hmmmm.....
The thought occurred to me: Did my cat pee in my shoe?
Now, this isn't that ridiculous of an idea. Last night, Fallujah was peeing on the rug NEXT to my shoes. I didn't know it at the time, and just thought he was sitting nicely, so I picked him up. Which of course meant he was then peeing ON ME. Yup...all down my leg and it splattered all over the hallway floor. Grodie. So he doesn't ALWAYS use the litter box like good little kitty.
And last week, Atticus threw up in my shoe. No joke. There was a pile of barf IN my shoe when I went to put it on last week (not the same shoe as I'm wearing today).
Well, when I got here to work and into my little cubicle, I took off my shoe and smelled it. Sure enough, the thing smells like cat pee. In fact, I'm sure this whole office smells like cat pee. Sick.
Instead of being mad at my cats, I have decided that really, they are only showing affection. I think they are smart and they know that I have to put my shoes on before I leave the house, so in a way, they are trying to prevent me from leaving. They want me to stay home with them, where we belong together.
I love my cats.
They make life just a little more interesting.

So basically you're telling me that you smell like that horrible pink hello kitty chair that you drug off the street in Pogwangdong and gave to me as a gift. Gross-ola!
