Midnight mess

The blanket last night was a very nice idea, but after my mommy and her mate were sleeping, I decided I just couldn't keep away from her. I wanted to hear her heartbeat again so I jumped on the bed and made myself comfortable. I fell asleep to the sound of her heartbeat. In the night though, I woke up and realized I had not used any litter box since I left Mrs. Peggys house. I really really had to go, but I didn't know where I could. I tried to walk around to look for a place but I couldn't hold it anymore so I peed where I lay. I tried to bury it in the blanket, I never liked leaving a mess behind.

I guess I didn't bury it very well because my mommy woke up and saw what happened. I wasn't finished burying it yet, but she woke her mate up and told him not to move. Then I noticed that the spot I peed at was just over her mate on his lap! Oh no! I really felt very bad. I didn't know what to do! He got so mad at me, he took off his clothes and I could see that they were wet. Was that really all from me?! I must have had to go more than I thought! I really didn't want to upset my mommy or her mate. I didn't know what else to do, honestly!

After they cleaned up my mess, they put new blankets on the bed. I didn't dare bother them again, I felt so bad. Her mate wouldn't look at me, he said something really loud and stood in a big oval bowl of water and threw water on himself to clean off my mess. Then he put on some new clothes and went under the new clean blankets. I didn't dare go up to him again. I must have really upset him, but he did manage to laugh when my mommy said something. I hope that's a good thing. My mommy showed me my mess, then she took me to that blue box and told me "this is where you make this mess". So maybe I was right! Maybe this box was a replacement for my old litter box!

Oh I won't make that mistake again! My mommy locked me up in the small room with the blue box. She told me that "daddy" didn't want me to leave that room until I learned where I need to pee. Her mate - "daddy" - is right. I didn't complain, but I did cry myself to sleep because I couldn't lay against my mommy's chest, her heartbeat was too far away to put me to sleep so it took me a long time to fall asleep.

Hours after the sun peeked through the bottom edge of the door, my mommy came in again. She held me and brought me to daddy to tell him I was sorry. I guess daddy forgot about the mess I made, all over him, in the middle of the night. He gave me candy pieces! I really didn't deserve them but I was so happy to get them! I thanked him many times for sure!

I was allowed to walk around freely and get familiar with places I have not yet explored but now that it is bedtime, it seems I have to sleep in the bedroom again. Mommy says it's for the best, and it would make daddy happy to know that I fully understand this is my new litter box. I guess I shouldn't argue. This blanket wasn't so bad last night, at least it's fluffy and warm. I just curled up in the little burrow I made in it last night and I'll sleep before long.
