Moving the Stove for the Cat
Woman in the Middle | January 15, 2018Absolutely everything we do around here is for the cats. At least they certainly think so! From getting up in the morning to all the things we do before we got to bed, it is all about the cats.
The latest thing we did, just for them, of course, was move the stove. We had an electrical problem in the kitchen last week and the stove had to be pulled partially away from the wall in order to access the outlet behind it. When the time came to push the stove back in it was being stubborn. Hubby had to remove the broiler drawer at the bottom in order to see under the stove and figure out how to coax it back into place. When he removed the drawer, all kinds of cat toys were revealed! He pulled out a little worm toy and several bright fuzzy balls.
Lumos was in cat heaven! Who cares about that basket of toys! These are all favorites, which is why they ended up under the stove. They got played with and played with until …ooops! And there it went, never to be played with again, until we moved the stove, of course.
Lumos has rarely stopped playing since the treasure trove was revealed. He eats, drinks, sleeps and PLAYS and PLAYS and PLAYS. Silly cat! But, happy cat, happy life. So we are all very happy right now, watching Lumos be so happy with his rediscovered toys.
That’s happened to us several times. Occasionally I will take a yardstick and squoosh out toys from under the TV credenza. Cats go nuts!
Of course the cats would think everything you do is done for them
Hahaha! I’m so glad Lumos has all of those beloved toys back. Jack goes nuts and will NOT leave us alone when his toys get stuck somewhere. Pets….
Lucky kitty to find joy in rediscovery.
When we got rid of our old couch, there was a treasure trove of cat toys behind it and an almost solid line of cat fur where Skittles had walked back there!
I have decided all future couches will have a straight back, so when they are up against the wall there will be no cat paths!
He looks so cute in the photos.
