I'm Coming Back As a Toilet Brush  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 94/100. ljegbers (5726) 4 years ago

Okay so I smoke. So I step outside to night to have one and I stepped on one of my cats. They know the rules of the doorway, but I didn't see him either.


There was this terrible cry and he ran off. Spend the next 1/2 hour trying to find him and he'd call from a distance but wouldn't come to me. I feel about an inch tall right now.

Have you ever done something by accident that made you feel like a total heal? He's calling so I think he's okay. I'm going to try and get him to come to me. I need to make sure he's okay.

My oldest step-son walked out the back door several years ago and stepped on a kitten breaking it's leg. That memory has held with me and I just didn't see him.

Have you done anything by accident and felt terrible?

Oh sure, millions of things. I have spilled stuff on people's clothes, broken stuff in their homes, etc. Sometimes I wonder why people talk tome at all.

The most recent and worst thing I did that I can think of recently was just a few days ago. I sent an email to a friend with something in it that was supposed to make him feel good. It did exactly the opposite and set him up for a horrible day, which in turn made me feel guilty as hell.


myLot reputation of 94/100. Goodie123 (7548)  4 years ago

Well now I might need to make you sleep with the chickens.
At least all you can break in the chicken house is the eggs.rasplol


myLot reputation of 93/100. galadr1el (619)  4 years ago

That could cause quite a mess in the chicken coop, Goodie. Will you forgive me?


myLot reputation of 94/100. Goodie123 (7548)  4 years ago

Hubby cleans the chicken coop, so it will not worry me. LOL


myLot reputation of 94/100. ljegbers (5726)  4 years ago

I've done that too, but my cats/dog are my children. Doesn't matter if they live inside or out. He did come back. Brought out some milk and he came right over. He limps alittle but doesn't look like he's any worse for wear. Those rules of the doorway, I'm telling ya.


myLot reputation of 97/100. p1kef1sh (7539)  4 years ago

Now it might have escaped you notice Goodie but there is already someone in the Chicken House. Are you marrying me off to poor Gala? Or am I now sleeping in the water trough? You do know it's full of the foulest water don't you!!

Oh Please LJ, not as a toilet brush, anything but a toilet brush PLEASE.
I would not know how to talk to a loo brush. LOL

Poor kitty, he will know you did not mean to step on him.
I have often stood on the foot of one of the chickens.
When we go to feed them, they just run at us from all directions.
They get under our feet and trying to avoid one we step on another.
Animals know if you are hurting them on purpose.
He will come home when he has finished sulking.


myLot reputation of 93/100. galadr1el (619)  4 years ago

You know, you are the only person I have ever known who has pet chickens. heehee


myLot reputation of 94/100. Goodie123 (7548)  4 years ago

These chickens are almost human I reckon.
You really need to see what they do with my partner.
You will not beleive your eyes.


myLot reputation of 94/100. ljegbers (5726)  4 years ago

What they do to your partner? That's a whole mental picture that I didn't need. Chickens? Fetish? or fatal attraction?


myLot reputation of 94/100. Goodie123 (7548)  4 years ago

No not a fetish LJ.
Everything he does they have to be under his feet investigating.
they sit on his head, back, shoulders, arms.


myLot reputation of 97/100. p1kef1sh (7539)  4 years ago

Did someone mention toilet brushes Goodie? I still haven't recovered from the last brushing you gave me. By the way, Have you seen the brush head? I really must get to the bottom of this mystery!


myLot reputation of 94/100. Goodie123 (7548)  4 years ago

I think LJ stole it Pikey.lol

It's a story that just kills me to tell, LJ, but I'll tell you here. Back in the seventies, when I didn't want to be the little sister anymore, and I started hanging out with my big sister as often as I could, we were at the home of a friend of Patty's (Patty being my sister), and everyone was very stoned on various substances, and there was a very, very tiny puppy there too, maybe 8 weeks old or so, and it was dark in the house, and although I had smoked some pot, I wasn't doing anything hard, and it appears I'm trying to make excuses here, but ok, I'll get on with it. Somehow, god knows, I stepped on that puppy, evidently on his little head. Well, some of us rushed to the vet with him, but he was to damaged to live, so they put him down, and I couldn't believe then and still cannot believe how cruel everyone was to me about it. I was absolutely, completely devastated, just beside myself with grief, and I was given so much sh!t about it, it just broke my heart into a million pieces. To this day, I cry when that horrible day creeps back into my memory. It's something I'll never forget. Or forgive. Either way. Myself or them. Maybe now that I've written it down, it will be exorcised out of my brain to a more manageable degree. I hope so.

And once, I put on one of my slippers, and thought there was a lump in it or something, and when I took it off to check it out, there was a dead mouse in it that had crawled inside a hole in the lining of the insole and got squashed by me. Well, let me tell you, I thought I was going to lose it. I threw the slippers away immediately, and cried for hours about that damn mouse. My husband, knowing me so very well, was even surprised at how crushed I was about crushing that poor little mouse. I couldn't stop crying for hours.

Killing anything is just so abhorrent to me, LJ, and if I have any part in any killing, it just destroys me. But all you did tonight was step on his little leg, and I can assure you, that cat will be fine. He'll forgive you. They always do. They love you as much as you love them.


myLot reputation of 94/100. ljegbers (5726)  4 years ago

Oh Babe, that's horrible! On both counts. I know what you mean if they die. I was with my sister and we were coming home late one night and we hit the neighbor's dog. We cried all the way home and my parents were alarmed because of the state we were in.

I don't think that anyone can take that back and it does stay with you. I'm happy to report that he's fine and later he came around (table scrapes helped) but he kept turning his back to me so I knew he was still mad.

He can be mad, I just wanted to make sure he wasn't hurt.

I have done tons of thing by accident that made me feel like crap. The worst thing I can think of right now, thanks to your post here reminding me of it. I stepped on my sons head in the middle of the night, he was sleeping on the floor.
I thought for sure I killed him, he never even woke up.


myLot reputation of 94/100. ljegbers (5726)  4 years ago

You know, my mother always said there that I'd never understand the true meaning of guilt until I was a parent. That's so true.

I'm glad your boy was okay, even better that he didn't wake up because it would have been a memory for him. That or something for him to use later. "Oh, and guys, this is my mom. She's pretty cool, but she steps on your head when you're sleeping."

Please don't come back as a toilet brush. You'll be driven clean round the bend! Anyway, Goodie uses a toilet brush on me when I get uppity with her. Now that stings I can tell you. LOL.

I have stepped on oodles of dogs legs in my time but never broken one. I did once help my friend Ashley "bounce" off my bed and he broke his collar bone. When I stopped laughing I called my mum and she got his and he was carted off to hospital and I was sent to bed without any supper. I was only 37! LOL. ( 9 really).


myLot reputation of 94/100. ljegbers (5726)  4 years ago

Oh, you're bad! Pike you're so freshing!! All worked out okay and my dear cat came back and we mended it out. So I think you can have my toilet brush incase the one Goodies uses wears out!! rasp

7. myLot reputation of 88/100. CurlyRed (3467)   4 years ago

sad Yeah. When my double first cousin and I were 8 years old, she got a Mrs Beasley doll for Christmas. I loved it, she let me play with it.

SO there I was , pulling the string...

Do you want to hear a secret? I know one.

Gracious me, you're getting to be such a big girl!

I do think you're the nicest little friend I ever had.

It would be such fun to play jump rope, don't you think?

If you could have three wishes, what would you wish for?

If you were a little smaller, I could rock you to sleep.

Long ago I was a little girl just like you!

Speak a little louder dear, so Mrs. Beasley can hear you.

Would you like to try on my glasses? You may if you wish.

You may call me Mrs. Beasley. Would you like to play?

Then I pulled the string too far sad

It wouldnt go back in. My cousin cried. I felt like dirt.

I still feel bad about it.

Hmmm.. her birthday is Tuesday.. anybody know where to get a Mrs Beasley doll?

Oh wait.. shes sailing aorund the world on a sailboat right now.


myLot reputation of 94/100. ljegbers (5726)  4 years ago

LOL I remember those dolls!! I know what it feels like to break something precious, but somehow I think her trip around the world will make up for it! Can you imagin what those dolls would be worth now?

My sister had a Howdy Dudy puppet and I wish I knew where that went. Amazing how some of the toys we used to have would be worth so much right now.

Yes. I started a religious discussion.
ROFL
Lj, if you come back as a toilet brush, and one of the cats dips his head for a drink, aren't you afraid of poking him with your bristles? LOL
Sometimes in life we just can't win.
I hope your cat's ok. How many lives has he used up so far? There you go ............ no worries, he's got lots left!
LOL


myLot reputation of 94/100. ljegbers (5726)  4 years ago

You got a point there. He's okay though. He was mad, pouted plenty, but he was find.


myLot reputation of 84/100. sparkofinsanity (3868)  4 years ago

Toilet brushes have points. I have sparks. Actually, apparently now I'm a full blown torch! ROFL
Glad to hear the cat's ok.

oh i feel for you, i know only too well what it feels like to accidentally hurt a pet, i did it to my cat Max a few months ago, he was laying on the floor and i didn't see him, so i dropped a heavy box full of wood on top of him and he ran for cover, he let out this almighty howl, so it must have hurt him as well as shocked him, he did come home after about an hour but he was so scared to come near me, it took him a few days to get his confidence with me again, but i felt so bad, because he was so small i didn't see him and the box slammed on top of him, i still feel bad when i think about it, he's such a sweet little soul too and i could never imagine hurting him like that again, i am always aware that he's here now....sorry about your cat, it wasn't your fault....my cat wasn't injured, but he was shocked for a little while


myLot reputation of 94/100. ljegbers (5726)  4 years ago

Oh I feel so for you too. My mother said that there isn't any true guilt until you're a parent. That applies to our pets too. They are just as much a member of the family as our own children are. To some - they are their children!

I'm glad you two came to terms. We've mended that fence too, but he still give me the eye every now and then.


myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  4 years ago

your mum is right, i treat my cat as a family member too and he is loved by us all, i am hoping that no more accidents happen concerning him, he is fine now and i think he's forgotten all about it, he seems happy enough, so i am happy too....
