The cat will prevail.

Sooner or later, you will have to come out of the bathroom. And then, you belong to the cat. You will do her bidding. Without complaint. In return, you get nothing. Do not whine, moan or complain. This is your lot in life, so...

Sooner or later, you will have to come out of the bathroom is good advice. Because yes, you will have to face crazy things (two- or four-legged) over which you imagine you exert some control. In reality, you do not. They control you. The earlier you figure that bit out, the better.

(This post may actually be about someone -- or something -- else. It may not be about the cat at all...)

On a different note, Maggie decided to investigate makeup. Again. This time it's mascara. All over her lips. She "needed something". At least she didn't lock herself in the bathroom this time... Paul's spring break begins in one hour, thirty minutes. I already told him that he has a lot of homework to do in the next week and a half. He believes me. Bad, bad, bad mommy.
