She’s quite pretty and cute (that’s why she’s called Bajadera like the Croatian sweet cookie) and also quite old (about 11-13 cos she’s a rescue cat and we are not sure how really old she is. She might be 20 :P).
So she loved spending time in our bathtub. That was her absolutely fav place even if bathtub was old and ugly and I hated it. This July we had a major bathroom renovation and the bathtub had to go. Now we have a very nice, shiny shower.
Bajadera doesn’t like the shower (even if it’s so cool!).
But… she likes the new sink. My absolutely perfect, pretty, square sink I chose myself.
She probably thinks we put it in the bathroom especially for her…
You can just imagine how my absolutely perfect, pretty sink looks like after she eventually leaves it. Full of hair, bits of cat litter etc.
We tried everything:
Putting water in it? Bajadera was so happy, she loves water and getting wet (and then everything else at home was wet)
Putting some towels? She thought we gave her a new blanket.
I was getting desperate, because my absolutely perfect, pretty sink wasn’t THAT perfect anymore (also now washing hands is quite an adventure, because when you remove the cat from the sink, the cat is back there before you turn around and assists you with your washing).
So my mum said we should put something bigger in the sink. Maybe a ball?
We did it.
Then there was a 15 minutes drama
Bajadera was walking around and complaining VERY LOUDLY what she thinks of us.
But then… then she decided she cannot be the selfish cat. And maybe the ball also loves the sink?
And Bajadera decided to share
ANY OTHER IDEA HOW CAN I GET MY SINK BACK AND DON’T HAVE TO WASH MY HANDS IN THE SHOWER????!!!!
If writers took every bit of writing advice that was in the format ‘Don’t use X part of the English language’, all English fiction would read like Spot the dog
