There’s only one part of our house His Lordship is not allowed to enter and that’s the cellar. Naturally it’s the one place he’s dying to go.
Our cellar is a 2,000 square foot nightmare of my husband’s crap treasure. There’s so much stuff down there you can barely navigate the space. It’s dirty, covered in dust and cobwebs and has been known to house the occasional mouse. For this reason, I laid traps and poison bait blocks. And for that reason, it’s off limits to Dudley. I make sure the door is securely closed every single day.
My husband? Not so much. I continually warn him Lord Dudley Mountcatten is a clever beast and will pry open the door if it’s not shut properly. In typical male fashion he scoffs at my worry.
You know where this is going, right?
We came home from shopping the other day, after my spouse had been in the cellar that morning, to this:

A cobweb and pink insulation covered cat standing close to the partially open cellar door.

Who… me?
No, I didn’t go down to the off limits cellar. Why do you ask?

Those are great photos, hinting at a tale of forbidden adventure… 😉

Cats will be cats and it’s their curious nature that eggs them on. Even covered in cobwebs and pink insulation he’s still as adorable as ever!

Funny thing is, when we opened the door he ran right up to us… showing off. Like he was proud.

I’m impressed he came out on his own. Betty got down in our basement, 1,000 square feet of dirt and darkness. It took about ten minutes to catch the reflection of her eyes and another twenty for Cathy to coax her near enough to pick her up.Good times.

We were gone for about 5 hours. Plenty of time to explore…

I’ve seen those pictures. If he didn’t want to be found, there’s a good time.

A man as unwilling to admit he’s mistaken and as obstinate as your husband surely must be a Republican….and yet, you have said he’s a (liberal?) Democrat.How is this possible? 😉

He’s registered independent and will vote for the person he thinks best, but yes. Democratic and liberal 99% percent of the time. Unusual in a career Marine of his age.

You’d think he would have pawed off the evidence before we got home.
