Family Cat Provides Crappy Addition To Elf On Shelf

Cats are precious darlings to be showered with hugs and kisses, but sometimes the feline dears make it very hard for humans not to lose their cool.

The Wright Family learned this in a disgusting turn of holiday events…

Katie Wright, mother to four-year-old Oscar and two-year-old Kiki, saw Oscar really getting into the wonder of the holiday season and decided this was the year to debut the iconic Elf on the Shelf in her home. She knew she shouldn’t go too crazy with the elf setups because she had years of elven mischief ahead.

“It’s our first year doing ‘Elf of a Shelf’. Oscar is only really just seeing the magic of Christmas,” Katie told LADBible I’ve kept the scenarios pretty basic; aware that I have a decade of elf placements to deliver!”

Katie created a snowscape of sugar where the elf made snow angels, a quick but adorable display to delight her son. “Just a simple sugar shower and a ‘Hi’ message from the elf. Easy. This morning when we woke my son was eager to race downstairs to find the elf,” said Katie.

Little did she know her cat had plans to add his own touch to the setup.

A Smelly Surprise

The next morning, Oscar ran downstairs to discover what the Elf had been up to, his mom right behind him. As they came down, Katie caught a whiff of something foul and had a suspicion as to the source. “As we walked through the dining room I could smell it. I picked my son up, concerned we were about to stand in something brown and smelly. As I entered the kitchen the smell was overpowering.”

“I approached the oven and there, next to the elf was a huge – I mean HUGE – cat s***. My cat had obviously confused the pile of sugar for a litter pile.”

Oscar found the whole thing hysterically funny as little kids are prone to love poop humor. He thought the Elf had made the big pile for them to discover. Katie did not find the scene so amusing.

“He was screaming ‘elf poo’, but what I was facing was like a scene out of an awful, low budget horror film and all these thoughts were racing through my mind – ‘will Oscar tell his school teacher?’, ‘will my daughter, when she wakes, see the funny side?’, ‘will my cat forever sh** on the elf? Or worse… on my kitchen side’.

To make matters worse, mom had to clean up the kitty surprise and the scattered sugar. After she cleaned the mess, Katie began to find humor in the incident, but reported, “I’m in no hurry to reproduce elf scenarios that the cat might confuse for a litter tray.”

Here’s wishing the Wright family luck for a poop-free remainder of the season!

Crappy Holidays!

Can Dogs Have Breath Mints?

Image
Bad breath can lead to embarrassing situations and breath mints are used to prevent this from happening. The problem of bad breath is extremely common among dogs but can they have breath mints? The answer to this question is a YES only if the mints have been made specifically for dogs. You can find a lot of dog breath mints in the market. Generally, artificial forms of mint use Xylitol (an artificial sweetener) that is toxic for dogs. Due to this reason, it is highly recommended to avoid all kinds of mint products that may contain this ingredient. Basically, it causes a sudden release of insulin in the body that leads to hypoglycemia. According to VCA Hospitals , even the smallest quantities of Xylitol can cause seizures, liver failure, or even death. Help! My Dog Ate a Mint If your dog has eaten a mint leaf, there is absolutely nothing to worry about. On the other hand, if he/she has ingested a breath mint with Xylitol in it, you need to move quickly. Despite the fact that xyl...

Can Cats Drink Tea And Other Caffeinated Beverages?

Image
Watching your sneaky cat inch towards your morning brew, you’ve probably wondered if cats can drink tea, coffee, or other morning musts with caffeine. The answer is complicated when it comes to sharing tea with cats, but one thing’s for sure: coffee and felines should never mix. Chock full of caffeine and other stimulants, cats should never drink coffee as caffeine is toxic to cats . This includes decaffeinated coffee since the beans also contain theobromine , another stimulant that can sicken felines. In protecting your cat from caffeine, don’t let her drink caffeinated sodas or energy drinks either. Also look out for guarana, mate, and cacao when checking food labels. All three are natural sources of caffeine. Also, according to the Pet Poison Helpline, caffeine may go by the alternate names   methylxanthine and xanthine . Did you know you can also find caffeine in diet supplements, weight loss products, and over-the-counter medications? If your cat manages to steal a sip ...

7 Fall Hazards All Pet Parents Should Be Aware Of

Fall — i t’s here and beautiful as ever. The foliage is starting to change, the air is getting crisper, days are becoming shorter, and the festive feelings of Halloween and Thanksgiving are in the air. But, along with the beauty of the season come some potential fall hazards that all pet parents should be aware of.  1. Rodenticides As the days are getting shorter and cooler, mother nature’s little outdoor critters will begin looking for some temporary fall and winter housing to call home. Mice and rats are notorious for trying to get inside garages, basements, attics, and sheds as they search for a cozy place to call home. To avoid unwanted little tenants, many households put out rodent poisons. If you use these poisons anywhere in your home, make sure to keep them hidden and far out of the reach of your canine kids. These chemical formulas are toxic and potentially deadly for your pooch. 2. Mushroom Poisoning Mushrooms have a habit of popping up around this time of the year...
