Spring cleaning

It is warming up this week to the 70's so opened up the door and windows to clean. Cleaned the windows, mirrors, bathroom, dusted everything, reorganized my bedroom closet, put books away, and grabbed all the unused pet things. I got a spray bottle cause people say it works like a charm keeping pets off the screens. I thought it was cruel and unusual punishment, but cats won't stay off the screens. Sure they get down when I say "Down" or face being pick up and pulled off. But they won't stop doing it like a kid always testing you. I thought of doing it too when outside to keep them off the porches on the ground floor. It doesn't work like a charm, I had to spray them several times to get them off the porches (Precious was worse than Frodo) and they kept going on those porches. Then I sprayed Frodo when his claws gripped the window screen and he hasn't climbed up since. I have the most stubborn cats in the world. Now I don't call it cruel anymore since I have taught them what I don't like them doing long ago so this is just reinforcement of the rules.

Oh, I got a note on the door this morning how the apartment people will be inspecting our apartments so we have to remove our pets or have them kenneled. If the people can't access our apartments, we will be fined. And the inspection will last 3 days. I hope they come the first day because it is my last day off and won't have to worry about removing them. Where do I take them for the other 2 days? Post later. Bye!
