spring cleaning cats...not!

Spring cleaning...CHECK! Hooray! Done with that "mother of all chores"!
I've decided to ease up on the harsh chemical cleansers this time and opted for a gentler, similarly effective and cat-safer way to disinfect my home.
So I grabbed a soft rag, filled my spray bottle with a 50-50 solution of vinegar and water (plus a squeeze of lemon) and used that for the floors, glass tops, mirrors, door knobs, bathroom, kitchen...just about everything! Baking soda is the perfect scouring powder, by the way. It gets rid of the grime without leaving any scratch marks.
Thank goodness, I survived spring cleaning! And I did it with zero help from the kitties, of course, who had better things to do, like:
1. Pretending to help with the vacuuming, when really more interested in napping by the picture window.


2. Sniffing terrified basil flowers and quenching inexplicable thirst with vase water.

3. Appropriating all storage to one's self; leaving scratch marks all over to reiterate ownership.

4. Nefariously stalking oblivious Calicos just for the fun of it.

5. Feeding an insatiable appetite, unknowingly positioned precariously for Ragamese attack.

6. Running for cover in The Closet , even if it means messing up the perfectly folded clothes! (Watch out, Little L! CC is already in there!)
