Re: Gross Out (Not for the faint of heart redux)

Runningstar's post reminded me of a time when I was asked to do
something at the butler's flat where I worked [forget what; it's
not important]. He and his wife were away, but I needed to do
<whatever> and had to go outside. Bearing in mind this flat is
on the 6th [maybe 7th] floor of a grand house converted to
offices in central London, there was no garden...
But it was clearly the <ahem> latrine for the chihuahas. My
first instinct was to scoop, as I used to go and tidy up after
the cleaners at the other flats the company owned (so the
cleaners wouldn't get into trouble), but then I thought "hey,
they live like this, they must be happy with it like that" so I
beat a hasty retreat.
I think that might have been around the time I started to
generate a spine? ;D

Not sure if I posted this on the old board or not.
There's a small feral cat colony that mom and I take care of at
our apartment complex. Like most indoor cats, when they poop,
they bury it. In fact, most of the time they dig an impressive
hole to do their thing, then spend quite a bit of time burying
the evidence.
The dog owners in the complex let their dogs poop wherever they
feel like it, despite the rules on having a designated area.
One day one of the neighbors starts yelling at mom and me about
the cats leaving poop everywhere. His evidence was this giant
pile that was half the size of one of the cats. It was far too
big to have come from one our little ferals. If it did come from
a cat, it would have to have come from a wild cat.
As this guy is ranting and we're about to go back inside, one of
the large dogs runs up to the guy. He absently pets it, then it
squats and leaves a sizable deposit next to him.
He stared at it for a moment and walked off without saying
anything else.

Not very gross but amusing and fits here better than anywhere
else:
A few days ago, my cat was snuggled up to me in bed and we were
both settling down towards sleep, her purring and kneading, me
reading on my phone. Then I fumbled my phone and dropped it (on
my head, well done Mel!) and startled her so badly that she
launched across the room, using my left boob as a springboard.
I now have a perfect pawprint bruise on my boob, complete with
little toebean marks. ;D

I went into the barn/garage the other day to get out my screens
(I rent). I noticed a board about 2 feet long on the floor, with
what looked like sewing machine foot pedals on it. On closer
examination, nope, they were squirrel traps, put there by the
pest control people, and had caught 3 chipmunks in various
stages of decay. Poor chipmunks - they weren't the problem.
DH's cousin had a dog that she would let out on the deck to do
its business on the snow, in the winter time. We visited about
this time of year. Deck was still covered in poops.

The house next door had a flat roof over part of the second
story, which you could reach from a door in the third story. The
roof always leaked when the rain came from a certain direction,
as our neighbor told us. New neighbors moved in, with a dog.
They let the dog out to poop on the roof. Didn't ever clean it
off. I can't imagine what was leaking down into the walls.
Later, the man decided to start a vegetable garden. He carefully
dug dog poop into the soil to prepare it. Didn't know about
composting it first. He had to dig it all out again.

My beloved Sis in Law is a pet sitter. Among her charges is a
lovable little beagle with a cast iron gut. When her doggie
daycare was in its early days and she was still cleaning the
place out, she was horrified to see Little Beagle had dragged an
old box of rat poison from under a sink and was happily eating
the whole thing.
Sis called his owner in hysterics to find out which vet the
owner preferred. The owner, who must be the most laid back
person on the planet said "Oh, hon, if anything happens, call me
back. He gets into stuff like that all the time. He ate a
mouse trap once."
Sure enough, Little Beagle wasn't just fine, he thrived! When
he got home that night he got into the other dogs' food and was
in fine fettle. The next day, I went with Sis and we took L.B.
along because we were stopping by his owner's home to feed two
enormous parrots and clean their cages. I'm not a fan of birds,
but L.B. thinks they are just two legged dogs with wings. To
clean their cages, Sis opened a trap at the bottom of the cage,
allowing the bird poo to fall thru.
"You might not want to see this," she cautioned me just as LB
shot forward to "clean" the floor.
"Does his owner know you do that?"
"Who do you think showed me how to do it?"
Gross Dog # 2 belongs to my brother: She also eats anything
that isn't nailed down. Since taking her in, my brother,
Sis-in-law and their daughter have lost several pairs of socks
which Lizzie the dog has eaten. Bottle caps? She loves them.
And then there was my TMJ device. Knowing that Lizzie ate every
small thing she found, I deliberately kept the bite plate on top
of a high bureau in the guest room. I wasn't counting on Lizzie
dashing through the room, trampolining onto the bed and knocking
my bite plate out of my hand while I was putting it away. I
managed to grab half of it before she got it.
The other half...well...my brother took her for a walk and
reported back that "We found my red socks. No sign of your bite
plate yet...."
I told him I really didn't want it back even if he found it.

A colleague of mine got engaged, and went with her fiance at the
weekend to meet his family, who live a rural country life on a
smallholding. She came back into the office on Monday whimpering
faintly: his mother served up Sunday lunch with lovely fresh
organic vegetables just pulled out of the ground -
unfortunately, Mum and the rest of the family were apparently
all too long-sighted to spot that the cabbages were infested
with caterpillars the same shade of green as the leaves, and
that washing hadn't dislodged all of them. Of course my
colleague didn't want to make a bad impression on her beloved's
family or appear to dislike her prospective MIL's cooking, so
felt obliged to swallow everything she was given....

At my new apartment complex, we have ducks, squirrels, turtles,
fish, crustaceans, ...and bugs, most notably roaches. So far,
they’ve remained outside my apartment (I use the sonic thingys,
tea tree and peppermint oil, and bay leaves to keep them away,
as well as having pest control out). So, I never see them,
except late at night when I walk my dog. A few nights ago, I
forgot my key and was locked out for at least an hour until I
saw the faint glow of a neighbor’s IPad. At night, the roaches
rule - they were all over the place and had no compunction about
“hissing” at Henry and myself.

And just as I was thinking, we haven't had a good gross out
recently. Well, you get what you wish for.
My cat, Turner, woke me up with that sound so well known to cat
servants. He was on a dresser, preparing to hurl into the very
full hamper of laundry. I rose quickly, grabbed him and set him
on the floor. Where he walked over to the t-shirt my DH had
missed the hamper with and decorated that. Turner was determined
to "get" some piece of clothing that day, I guess. That sound
would make a devastatingly effective alarm sound for even the
heaviest sleeper.....

I have woke up from a dead sleep and booted a cat off a bed
faster than an alarm clock ever woke me up.
