Yesterday

If I had been able to do that: Pee on the bed. Oh yeah, this cat lets you know in memorable ways. Anywhere I would have locked him, he would have responded as such.

The worst part is that for the four years he's been my cat, I've kept him out of the basement. I did not even want him knowing it was there because for him, it would be a field day. It's the quintessential basement for a nearly 200-year old carriage house. Even has a crawl space off to the west of the house. I'm sure he had a blast there.

Now I can look forward to a future of him sitting by the basement door, meowing his head off to let him go there.
