It’s been a scary few days.
The first night after we (allegedly) peed on the couch, some new stuff showed up on the couch. When Betsy and I went to hop up there, it stuck to our feet! Oh it was terrible, it just wouldn’t come off, even if you licked it! And what’s worse is that it made a loud rustling noise as you moved (because it was stuck to your foot). It must’ve been loud, because it woke mom and dad up, and they came out and grabbed us and took it off our feet – which hurt a little, because it pulled on our fur.
I tell you what, I don’t want a repeat of that, so I think I’m going to steer clear of the couch for a while.
The next day, this big scary man came with these big scary smelly tubes and it sounded sort of like the vacuum, but it wasn’t. And he was doing something to the couch, and it smelled different – I just stayed hidden in my corner. Eventually the scary stuff went away, though.
Then, that night, everything went dark all of a sudden, but mom and dad were still home – and it was too early for them to go to sleep like they usually do (we hadn’t even had dinner yet!). Dad said something about the “power” being out because of the wind. Betsy and I didn’t like it, though, so we huddled together (of course I was just doing it to keep Betsy company) in dad’s office. At first, the lights kept flashing on and off and there was this loud beep every time (dad apologized and said it was the “smoke alarm” or something). But eventually the lights just went out for good and it was very dark, except for these light sticks mom and dad kept carrying around and shining everywhere. Eventually, though, dad and mom stopped moving around with their light sticks and settled down, and then it wasn’t so bad. We even had a nice dinner (mmm… fresh lettuce). Then, later on, the lights came back on all of a sudden – and stayed on! So everything was back to normal.
On a good note, Betsy and I did manage to sneak into the bedroom this morning! But the closet was closed, so we couldn’t go play in mom’s shoe forest… but it was still nice, until mom chased us out!
I don’t know if all this scary stuff happened just because of what we (allegedly) did on the couch, but I’m not keen to repeat the experience, so I think Betsy and I will be staying on the floor from now on, thank you very much!

Sticky Paws .. that sounds like what was around here for awhile .. called sticky paws. But that was for our cat from “you know where”, Bailey. Bailey doesn’t live here anymore.
We will stay off the couch too.
Oh my goodness, sticky paws? I hope DKM doesn’t get any ideas!
We only did this because you guys peed on the couch – if you hadn’t done that, there wouldn’t be any sticky tape on the couch right now! C’mon Gus, Betsy, you’ve got a litter box – use it!
Yeah – you tell ’em Keith. Lay down the old law! Show them rabbits who is the boss around there.
Heh Heh Heh …………….
If only it worked like that… *sigh* Yes Gus, I’m done with the computer now and I’ll make your dinner.
Erm, yeah, no more peeing on the furniture, ok? (Made for a great story, though!)
It sounds like staying on the floor is a good plan! All that lights off stuff sounded very frightening! It’s a good thing you have each other and that Gus is willing to protect Betsy and keep her company when it’s scary!
You got him hooked, Gus. Reel him in!!!!!!!!!!!
That stuff on the couch sounds scary!!!
