Bathroom Bonanza: Day 3

I’m going to start off this post with a little story about my cat, Bella. I assure you, it’s totally related! Yesterday morning at 5am, while Mike and I were still slumbering away, we awoke to a ruckus in my closet — which is on the opposite wall behind the bathroom, and used to be a powder room until we took out the toilet and put in shelving. Except we haven’t closed up the hole where the toilet used to be. Shortly following the ruckus, Bella appeared in our room and let out a bizarre cry. I booted her out and groggily went to the bathroom to investigate. The large plumbing hole where the tub used to be was totally uncovered but the access panel to my closet was secure. Tired and confused, I covered the hole with a piece of mounting board I had hanging around, and went back to bed.

After I woke up and was more lucid, I went down to the laundry room to check out the hole from the lower level. The only way Bella was able to end up in my bedroom was by crawling down the large hole from the bathroom, climbing across a precarious ladder of pipes and wires, and finally squeezing her fat butt through the 5″ hole in my closet floor where the toilet used to be! She’s kinda chubby, so no wonder she made such a ruckus. Fin.
