something tragicomic happened yesterday.
the efficient house painter who wanted to do something in his vacant time while waiting for the foreman decided to paint the first coating of latex on our cat room walls. he didn't coordinate with anyone, much less with me, so he didn't know that once the painting work and tiling are done to the cat room, all the cats will have to be transferred to the living room.
the painter was shaking when he reported that our two orange cats now had painted bodies. melchor had it worse; his ears had stiffened with latex. it turned out that he rolled on the paint pan and played with the brush. my stomach gnarled despite the painter's apologies and assurances that latex is not poisonous.
it took 2 hours to clean melchor and midnight and dawn visits to the cat room to check for any changes in his overall health. i geared up for an emergency. he's all right, whew, but my stomach is still tight with pain.
