Kuro made trouble again!

Somehow, three nights have passed.
Even though we couldn’t get enough sleep, house cat Kyoku and garden cat Kuro have been more calm than we thought they would be. However, Kuro’s unbelievable appetite never stops, and he wants to be too close to us, and he challenges Kyoku, so they don’t seems to be nice friends. (But it has been better than last time.)
Being a cat is convenient. Because they are originally night time animals, they can sleep whenever they want.

Anyway, there was an incident when I was out yesterday.
In the evening, I came back home, went upstairs, and noticed a stink. Very bad. Did Kuro spray somewhere? I looked around all over the second floor, and found it. It was his pee on the bed!

Chris was working in his study. Kuro’s challenges to Kyoku slow when we aren’t close to him, so Chris locks the cats out of his study when he has to concentrate. During that time, Kyoku slept in the living room, on the first floor, and Kuro slept on the bed, on the second floor. Was Kuro dreaming? Bed-wetting? Or is a wild cat just like this? Anyway when I noticed, it was done. (Kyoku has never done such a thing. In addition, Kuro’s stuff is stinkier.)

I must explain about this: it doesn’t mean that Kuro can’t use a litter box. Actually, we and Kyoku have watched him using it.

I’m still washing stinky sheets and a stinky duvet. I hope they will dry, because I heard it will start raining after tomorrow.
To prepare for the future, we put a vinyl coated table cloth on the bed, because we can’t watch Kuro all day. Today, too, he is very noisy and a troublemaker. Sigh…
