Caution: Wet Cat

I learned a valuable lesson last night when finishing up the last of the trim paint: cats are curious and like to rub things.

One of our cats, Smalls, wanted to see what I was doing so he emerged from under the bedspread in Brad's room and sniffed my brush, the paint can and the trim. It seemed pretty harmless so I kept working.

It couldn't have been more than 2 minutes when I look over and he's licking his side furiously. That fool's entire side, from his shoulder to his big, fat belly, were painted white. Where he rubbed I will never know.

He received the second bath of his lifetime. (The first was a few days ago when he decided to jump up on a freshly-painted ledge).

So my lesson? Paint + cats = more work.
