The Good, The Bad, And The Fluffy

When ripping out the floors and walls, we find all manner of things. I classify these as cool items, strange items, and flat-out disgusting items. Well, for my find of the week I think it falls under all three, it is a mummified cat. We lovingly refer to her as “Fluffy.” She has been hanging around and disgusting anybody who dares to come and work or give a quote.
While ripping up the floorboards of a room, that had previously been a screened in porch, I got a bit of a shock. While at first I’d thought that it might be a stinky, nasty, ball of mush that I would have to shovel out, it was in fact as dried out and stiff as cardboard. I’m beginning to wonder if it might be as old as the house itself. Maybe it had mistakenly wandered in during the construction and got trapped inside.
One of the construction crew threw Fluffy into the dumpster. I was looking for the cat, when John fessed up to throwing the cat away. He claimed that he “didn’t like cats.” Anyway I fished Fluffy out of the dumpster and saved her from the local landfill. Everyone has suggested dipping her in polyurethane and hanging her above the fireplace, but Kristin won’t even look at the thing let alone consider this option. Oh well Fluffy, guess you’ll just have to hangout in the shed.
