At least they keep me warm
I have locked myself in the bedroom with two dogs and a cat. The cat will be going in for surgery tomorrow morning and needs to fast. Since we recently switched up our animal feeding routine to include automatic feeders, I have to separate him for the night - or at least until 6:04am when the other greedy felines have wolfed down the pre-portioned meals.
Yes, I suppose I could figure out how to de-program the feeders. But that would require that I remember come morning to feed everyone else, and re-program the feeders tomorrow. Plus, Tom has created the most insane and hilarious contraptions for these feeders to keep the smallest cats from sticking their paws up the chute and making these high-tech devices self-serve. I think he might have included self-destruct c4 that could blow if I were to approach the feeders at the wrong angle.
The dogs are in here because they will whine and keep me up all night if I lock them out. Opposed to how they will keep me up all night by changing spots 4,801 times in the bed.
If I survive the night without getting peed on, I will be looking over my shoulder all day tomorrow. Fate cannot let me get by unscathed.
