Gavin is our youngest cat. He is probably close to 5 years old, but is a perpetual kitten. He is also deaf. BUT he is Julia's buddy. That has saved his life more than once, including yesterday!
Jerry was over trying to finish up Julia's new room. He was painting the closet doors. Anytime we do a messy project around here, we lock Gavin out of the room, because we know the havoc he can cause. Well, I guess I forgot to warn Jerry about it. He started painting the doors white while Julia, Debbie and I were out picking up some last minute things. When we got home he explained that Gavin about lost his life...
Jerry had put the wet paint can lid on top of the dresser while painting. He knew Gavin was in the room with him, but did not think too much about it. Next thing he knew, Gavin was no longer around and there were white cat paw prints all throughout the house!!! Yep, Gavin stepped in the paint lid, then proceeded to track paint all over the house. When we got home from the store, Jerry had just finished going around the house on his hands and knees scrubbing up all the white paw prints! Luckily, we have hardwood floors and it was fairly easy to clean up.
Jerry said he thoroughly cussed out Gavin and kept telling Gavin how lucky he was that he was Julia's buddy. I tried to explain to him that Gavin did not hear a word of it, but I think that mattered to Jerry.
(Disclaimer - We would never actually kill Gavin, I was just being dramatic. His perpetual kitten antics are a bit much to put up with some days, but he is a wonderful cat.)
