Why one should not conduct business meetings in one's own home.

[rimturse]

Place is cleaned, puppy has gone for morning wee and had her breakfast, tray is laid out with the nice cups and saucers, coffee is brewing on the machine, C and M are all dressed up. We're off to a good start *insert music of DOOM*

Business man arrives.
Lia: I LOVE you stranger. Let me kiss you!
Business man is luckily a dog lover and showers Lia with cuddles.
Lia: *puppy submission pees on the floor out of sheer eagerness to please*
Murp peeks down from top of stairs.
M wipes up mess, while C seats business man in living room.
Felix is sleeping on one of the dining room chairs.
Business man: Oh another cat.
C: Yes, we have a lot of pets.
Business man: But they are lovely. So nice and quiet.
Felix: Urgh.
Business man: ??
Felix: Urgh urgh urgh. *vomits all over chair*
Lia: Forget the cat. Would you like to hold my marrow bone while I chew on it? It's only a little bit soggy.

Yup, very professional and business like we are.

Yeah, our guest was pretty speechless as well. :p

I really am sorry, very sorry for what happened to you, but I had to laugh. Isn't this why actors don't like working with children and animals?

I suppose Felix is feeling much better now he has gotten rid of his hairball. The timing, however, left much to be desired.

Ha! Yeah, Felix is doing just fine. The strange thing is he ALWAYS starts to cough before he vomits, but of course not this time round. Sometimes I wonder if he does it on purpose.

Like when my cousin came to visit for the first time when we lived in Switzerland. She and her husband are not cat people and are very intrigued by the concept of a cat litter box - and what lay on the floor right in the middle of the hallway as we stepped in the door? Yup, one poop, strategically placed for maximum visibility. And this from cats that for over a decade had been consequently using the litter box.

I am quite sure they do misbehavior on purpose. Our first cat, who generally hated people to the point where he would ignore their existence, casually walked up to my mother's much older sister and bit her deeply in the calf. I had to prise his jaws apart to make him let go.

Why? My aunt, a widow for many years, had a habit of deliberately starting quarrels with any male relative. She was in the process of winding up my father and my husband when the cat decided he wanted to bite her. The men were hard pressed not to laugh at that point.
