Do your pets interfere with housework?

[Jessika]

Nope because I put them outside so they won't get underfoot. If they are inside they FRAEK OUT at the vaccuum and Jamie will try to attack it...

Nope! It's all carpet down in the basement (where I live) so I don't sweep. Kaedyn's not too fond of the loud vacuum and Kai's just plain terrified of it. It makes cleaning so much easier albeit I only vacuum because of their hair.

No, I just skip the housework

HaHa, just kidding! I do have to sweep up at least once daily out in my studio where they come in, and they just watch me and shed some more.

Everybody runs for cover when the vacuum comes out. Maybe it is just the noise?

Spanky likes to hold onto the mop while I am swishing it across the floor and you get the picture.

I have to keep an eye on the litter box when I am completely changing it over. Soni likes to use it as soon as I have my back turned (last time, there was no litter in the box!) when it is freshly cleaned out. Even if it has only been about four days since the last complete change out!

Tango's very helpful when it comes to some types of cleaning, such as laundry as she can pick things up and put it in the washer for me, and she takes things out of the dry and hands them to me. It's one of her favourite activities! As far as dusting and vacuuming and such goes, they're not any help at all. Morgan chases the vacuum aswell as the broom. She seems to think she's saving me from them. Tango lays in the middle of the floor, wagging her tail and staring at me when I vacuum but when I tell her to move, she does so it's not a big deal. If I'm cleaning up a stain on the floor or something, Morgan 'attacks' the cloth that I'm using to clean it up (she pounces on it). If I'm dusting, again, Morgan wants to play with the cloth. Besides that though, they don't really get in the way.

I got a good laugh out of this thread! Well, Sassy can care less about the vacuum but if it was the rumba she would be attacking it. We had my moms friend bring it over a couple of months ago to see if Sassy was ok with it before we purchased it but she just attacked it. If you pass Star with the duster she flaps up a storm and that is AFTER my mom vacuumed. When your cleaning Stars cage she likes to play "bite the hand". It's cute but bad at the same time.
