… cover the drain of the sink containing the garbage disposal. Apparently there is a little tiny hole on the face plate in which the cat can ensnare a toe and get trapped… causing you to have to sedate the cat with benadryl (which she will undoubtedly bite into and consequently begin foaming at the mouth) while you disassemble the garbage disposal, and finally resort to having to apply force to remove the cat.
A missing claw, two dislocated toe joints, five cat bites, one hysterical mother, nine hours and $400 later, Zipper has been poked, prodded, drugged, splinted and is finally resting comfortably in the bathroom that is her home for the next week.
Zipper’s daddy is going to lie down for a little while.
Did I mention that the name brand of the disposal in question is the “Sinkmaster Bone Crusher?”

well…at least you didn’t turn on the disposal…you know, to dislodge the toe.
oh the joys of pet ownership!
thank god our cat is weird. he will actually shower with anyone who leaves the bathroom door open. so no chance of him getting caught in the garbage disposal. at least not unless he’s digging around for something to munch on.
Gina - That was my dad’s initial suggestion. He doesn’t like cats.
danny - I’m too chicken to try showering with either of my cats… I’m afraid I’d lose a body part that I’m particularly fond of… I do have a cat that will play in the toilet if given the chance. He looks ridiculous with blue-dyed fur.
okay, digging ni the garbage disposal?made me want to throw up a little.
A toe can get caught in there? Wow - never even thought of that.
this is just one of the many reasons to live with dogs and not cats.
Yes, just one reason. Another reason is that I know a person I call Crazy Cat Guy (Bi-polar, nipple shock treatments in Boston last year, five cats that are all constipated beynod belief). I don’t know a Crazy Dog Guy, do you?
oops! sorry ginamonster. didn’t mean to conjure up any disturbing images. um, i guess that goes for you too, jester. luckily the cat just sits in the tub. he’s weird. we know.
Foaming Kitties is the name of my new band.
Foaming Pussies is NOT the name of my new band. But the visual will make me giggle all the rest of the night.
Ginamonster - Really? The mental image of a cat trying to fish something out of the disposal made me laugh.
Avitable - Yes it most certainly can. I would have never thought that.
Hello - Dogs get themselves in disgusting situations rather than painful situations. I have a zoo here… 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 birds, 2 geckos. Plus my aunt’s dog. You must love animals to visit me.
Donnie - As a matter of fact, I DO know Crazy Dog Guy. He lives with a mixture of 6 German Shepards and Rottweilers. He’s blind and can’t walk them, so he just uses one room in his apartment as a dog toilet. The city comes in every 6 months to clean his place up.
Danny - If Zipper (the cat in the disposal) can get access to the bathtub, she will pee in the drain.
Gina - ROFL Great… me too!
