My cat, Saulite, is usually a very sullen, quiet, boring cat. She sleeps constantly (except when we’re trying to sleep) and usually on the back of the couch. She doesn’t meow, but kinda squeaks. She’s not very energetic, either. Not usually. Occasionally she’ll come out of her litter box and run, like she’s trying to escape something. We have come to learn this is her way of saying, “It’s gonna get stinky, so I’m getting out of here.” Nice.

This evening we were just finishing up putting together our taco salads, and Saulite came out of her box, not running, but more like a bullet out of gun… she was just a flash. And then she came back, every muscle in her body, tense, stared up at us as if to say, “Trust me, get out while you can!!!” and bolted out again. We laughed and laughed. Then went into the living room to eat.

Twenty minutes later I went back into the kitchen…. OH MY WORD! I didn’t know a little cat could make so much stink! That was one of the WORST smells I have ever smelled! No wonder after she ran out of the room, the second time, she went and sat by the open window… “Air, give me air!”

Oh my.
