so i smell something stinky in the kitchen this morning and i realize it's the chicken i threw away last night. so i put the trash outside, intending to throw it away on my way to work. thirty minutes later, i check outside. apparently, the instant i placed the trash outside, one of the resident cats in our complex immediately marked me as a sucker. he came by and shredded the trash in order to get at the sweet, sweet rotting chicken inside. in aluminum foil. sheesh.
Be glad that only cats are in your complex and that you weren't living somewhere where there are bears or other equally large and potentially dangerous creatures.
Oh, and this further proves that dogs are not necessarily dirtier than cats.
a cat will lick itself clean afterwards and look at you quizzically as if to say, "who, me?" a dog would revel in its messiness and be contrite and apologetic afterwards.
kind of amusing. i had chicken in my trash this morning, but i forgot to throw it in the dumpster so i had a fairly foul odor when i returned this evening at 11. just threw it out and i have all my air freshners in effect.
