Arrgh.

One of the cats has suddenly, at the age of six years, taken to urinating on our bedding. The first time we thought it was a fluke, and we needed new pillows and comforters anyway, so green_trilobite bought us some really nice duvets, etc -- which the tiny lion promply inaugurated. Sigh. I'm expanding the litter box area (i.e. buying a second one) in the hopes that might solve it; otherwise we take him to the vet to check for bladder problems.

Last night I discovered that trying to wash a duvet in the laundry-room washer doesn't work; it leaves the mechanism no room to turn and you just wind up with a wet, soapy, unrinsed and unwrung duvet. I also discovered that trying to wash the duvet in the bathtub isn't a good idea either, and that a king-sized duvet can hold more water than I am able to lift.

As if theengineer needed another incentive.....

I am not sure whether I'm relieved or disappointed that this is only an art installation.
