Cosmic Forces

Don’t you love it that you live in a modern age, in which you can think of a product that would solve all your problems and can then walk down the street and purchase said product, not having known previously that it ever really existed? Now that my cat Cosmo is living with us (I retrieved him from Texas last week), we are dealing with the unsavory problem of dogs getting into and snacking from the kitty litter box. Yuck! Also, the dogs like to eat the cat food and get runny poos. More yuck!! So, I was thinking, if only there were such thing as a toddler gate that you didn’t have to screw into the bathroom door frame (a land lady no-no) and that didn’t require an engineer to let you into the bathroom each time you wanted to use the facilities. This way, Cosmo could escape being dogged by the dogs, we could eliminate the source of the diggity cat-poo breath, and we wouldn’t have to barricade our main toilet. Whad’yaknow, the pet store had about five versions of this magical appliance, all for under $100. We purchased and installed one tout de suite, and now our happy family lives in perfect harmony. For now.
