Intruder Alert!

Victor: Hi, Mom! Look, Mom’s home!

Bonnie: What are you doing here this early? Aren’t you supposed to be working?

::Ding Dong::

B: Intruder alert! Guard the doors! Attack Tabby ON DUTY!

V: What’s that? Who’s that guy Mom’s talkin to?

B: An intruder! I MUST guard my home! You, what are you doing here?

V: Is this bisitor furiendly? Whatcha doin in the basement, Bisitor Man?

B: Must investigate intruder! This is MY basement. Wha? Don’t touch me, Woman! PUT ME DOWN!

V: Whoa, Bonnie, Mom, what’s goin on?

B: Unhand me, fiend! I must guard my home! I'll BITE YOU!

V: Mom, pleeze put Bonnie down. She don’t like it.

B: NONONONONONONONO!

V: Uh oh, Mom putted Bonnie in the puter room and SHUT the DOOR! I better hide in the big bedroom.

B: HOW DARE YOU TREAT ME THIS WAY! OPEN THIS DOOR THIS INSTANT.

V: Mom? Mom?! I’m still in here, Mom, an the door’s closed.

B: LET ME OUT OF HERE! I’LL STARVE!

V: I’m in here, Mom! Mom? Can I cum out now? How bout now? Now?

B: I’M BLOGGING THIS! YOU WON’T GET AWAY WITH IT, YOU… YOU…!!!

V: Hey Mom, lemme out soon, kay?

B: I’m telling my man what you did! You can’t treat me like this!

15 minutes later

B: Let me out! I can hear you out there!

V: Can I cum out now? I gotta go potty. Freedom! ::races down the stairs, singing:: I’m going to the basement now!

B: It’s about time! ::thrashing tail:: We were shut up forever! Where’s my food?

V: ::singing:: I’m a good boy, using my litter box!

B: ::Crunch, crunch::

V: I’s hungry too. ::Crunch, crunch::

Mom here: The plumber pried the cover off the floor drain (the hardest part), dug out most of the mud at the top, then flushed it with his high-pressure hose. There’s a trap to prevent backups from the street, and that stopped most of the litter mud from going down and making a bigger clog. Thanks for all the suggestions and support! Crisis over.

  2. Oh Bonnie....how HORRIBLE. I'm so sorry about the Bisitor and the locking up and the horrible treatment by your Woman.

    Its probably a good thing you didn't have to sniff that plumber guy anyway...I hear they smell worse than a dirty litter box after working with those nasty pipe things.

  4. *shudder* poor Bonnie being manhandled like that! this is awful. it is good you didn't see the bisitor tho. plumbers sometimes are scary - zippy, sadie & speedy are right with the butt crack. Once we had our plug in the basement flushed because that thing that keeps the street stuff from coming into the house stayed open and it was awfully smelly. I was glaad to be locked up.

    Bonnie, you did a great job trying to defend your territory.

    poor Victor being shut up with no food and no potty.
    *hugs to you both*

  6. Hey, it must be a conspiracy! My Mommie shuts me away in a room whenever a stranger comes over to do work in the house, too.

  7. Well, at least you can use you litterbox now!

  8. Hmmmm, we got shut in the bedroom yesterday, too, when the AC fixer dude came over. Daisy might be on to something with the conspiracy theory.

    I'm glad you got the plumbing fixed, even if you did have to get locked up.

  16. I'm glad that the crisis with the clog in the basement is over. Poor Bonnie really didn't like getting locked up, did she? You did a good job of protecting your home, Bonnie. I'm happy that Victor got out in time to use the litter box.

  23. whoa, Bonnie, I'm very very impressed with your attitude. plus we're all very glad that your drain crisis is over. we don't have a real house, so we don't know about stuff like that. our Grandma's looking for one of those plummer people though. she's had no hot water for over a month now. she's trying to find one who doesn't charge $175 an hour.
    Grr

  24. Hi Victor Thanks for Editing for us! The Human is silly and can't type any more. She has gone crazy we think. Stealing our Cat Nip Hmmpph.

    Miss Bonnie we are so glad you did not starve, that intruder could have caused great trouble. We get thrown out when someone comes to intrude. Something about company and sharing meals with Kitty Cats... and bad kitty manners.

    You are lucky your Human finally let you out. Actually the Woman is lucky, cause we would hate to see what happened to her if you have stayed longer.

    We are sending awesome purrs and love and hugs and sharing our nip!

  29. Oh my goodness. What an exhausting 15 minutes!!! Thank goodness you two survived!! We're glad the crisis was resolved without too much trouble, although plumbers can cost a lot of green paypers just to come out to your house.

    The sun is actually shining here today. We think this might be a mistake....
