Things were neat and orderly and all was quiet on the home front yesterday when all of a sudden the winds picked up and the destruction began.

There was litter in front of the box. There was litter behind the box. There was litter litter-ally (pun intended :p ) everywhere! Even the seas erupted and spewed water everywhere! Notice the litter even ended up at the bottom of the seas!
Seeing as how the home front needs to be maintained for another week or two, the insurance company will have to kick in and clean up after the storm. There have been several tropical storms of late, so they're getting rather tired of having to do all this cleanup. They have to ask, can something this sweet actually cause such destruction? :confused:

Oh no! How awful! Where can I make my donation towards the clean-up costs of hurricane Peanut? Such a sad event. :(

:D What is it about those tortie-calico girls? I call mine my little Mitzi Mess Maker - she leaves sand dunes everywhere! :D I feel your pain! and yes, something that cute can be that destructive! Do not be deceived by all that cuteness :p

I think that Sunami Scrappy 2, and Tropical Depression JJJ3 could compete with Hurricane Peanut in terms of destruction.
Does your policy cover Cattitude Damage?

I wrote a Boots Tail about this problem - but can't find the darn thread.
Long Tail short:
Boots "invites" a lil Mouse Buddy in to "play" every so often.
After chasing around the house - obvious by the amout of disturbed, tipped-over,
and otherwise re-located objects throughout the house -
they always seem to wind up in the Bathroom ...
and play "Tag" in, over, around, and often UNDER :mad: the Kat's Sandy Box!
I should start keeping a shovel in the closet.

What a great story and cute photo of the sleeping destructive force! In case you were considering a covered / hooded litter box, be fore warned that only limits the sand storm, as it all gets directed out the one opening. I sometimes think they are digging to "China" in there! I finally set up a battery powered hand held vacuum close to the litter box to deal with these quick clean ups; I empty it right back into the box . . . .

NOPE! Not possible. Must have been someone else? ;)

Hmmm. Will these storms cause some problems in your future living arrangement?

Oh wow. Where is FEMA when you need them? :D and no way could
that sweet baby cause this destruction. :) Hi Peanut. :)

Must have been a successful trip to the litter box! That's funny, some cats are really enthusiastic about scratching and scratching and digging and flinging litter; others give it a perfunctory swat and that's it.
She sure is a messy little girl! :D

Notice the litter even ended up at the bottom of the seas!
I had to go back up to the picture to see it again.....bottom of the sea??? Then I figured it out....messy storm that blew through.
Good thing your don't live at our house.....I have Tropical Storm Tigger, Vegas, and Gabriel....with storm Gabriel the tootsie rolls are not even in the sand.....they are on their own private cement island. ;)

Aaahhhh!! It's a flood of litter! :eek: :D I think it was Tropical Depression CJ who's the culprit. It couldn't of been Hurricane Peanut. ;) :D

LOL, what a cute post!!! I need that. Thanks Hurricane Peanut.

:D :D Peanutter, I think you've been framed by that CJ. How could anything so sweet and innocent cause that much destruction??? I don't think so.
It is clear that you have just weathered a category 5!!
Such destruction and no warning in advance. Don't be fooled by that "calm" you see - you could just be in the "eye" of the storm :D :D

I'm so glad to see that Hurricane Peanut is able to perform. This must mean that she's feeling well these days.:)

Looks like the "eye of the storm" to me! :D
Must be a bad hurricane season....up to the letter "P" already!

Thanks everybody. :)
Just to clear things up, this was defnitely hurricane Peanut. CJ doesn't even rate as a tropical depression - he's so neat and orderly in the box it's almost ridiculous! :D
Hmmm. Will these storms cause some problems in your future living arrangement? We haven't had any hurricanes in the motorhome yet, but the tsunamis are something awful! I went from a small absorbent placemat thingy under the water bowl to one of those puppy pad diaper thingys and the water still spews everywhere! :rolleyes: Fortunately the cleanup is relatively easy for the tsunamis so the insurance company isnt' getting too miffed at those. They are starting to have a problem with all the little kitty foot prints left all over after the residents wade through the flood though. Anyone ever try to get concrete footprints off leather furniture? :rolleyes: :mad: :D (concrete footprints because she goes from the litterbox directly to the water bowl....then around the entire motorhome)
However, trust me, I am not complaining in anyway. She is really doing well. I did take her for one final checkup before we leave. The vet said it was hard to tell, but the tumor didn't really look any bigger than before, so he said it's a really slow growing tumor - which is the good news. The bad news is she lost another 1/4 of a pound in 3 months - she's down to 5.25 pounds. I guess if the tumor doesn't take her, her kidneys will. :( But the good news is she's still doing so well! Her and CJ are getting along better than ever and she loves checking out the open windows in the motorhome and watching all the activity in the campground - in between naps that is. ;)

It's a guy thing!

How could such a sweet kitty with absolutely no trace of mischief on that sweet little face cause such destruction? Have you contacted the Army Corp of Engineers in to review the situation and possibly offer some kind of solution?

LOL! Peanut, you can certainly make a mess - quite a hurricane! :D Yes, it seems you're in the eye of the storm and you look beautiful. ;)
I'm SO glad that Peanut is doing well, considering her health problems. :)
Kisses and smootchies to sweet Peanut!
