i've been assaulted by the Sinuses From Hell for the past two days, so i've been making good use of my neti-pot. we all know about the wonders of the neti-pot by now, right? and the miracles they provide for those of us with grumpy sinuses? and how it basically invovles waterboarding yourself? right.
so there i am this morning with a watering can up one nostril, saline water dribbling out the other nostril into the sink.
with oliver the cat, who is obsessed with drinking running water, trying to drink from the stream of water coming out of my face.
I just tasted a little puke in my mouth. Would Oliver like some of that, too?
ReplyDeleteOh cats. Could they be any weirder?
ReplyDeleteThat is fan-fucking-tastic! If only we had video/photographic evidence!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Nilsa. Yuck!
ReplyDeleteEW! Our cat will drink out of the toilet, flushed or not. (and with little boys, NOT is often how it's left.)GROSS.
ReplyDeleteHaha!
ReplyDeleteMy husband with the allergies from hell has a new allergist. Said allergist said neti-pots really aren't that good to use because they flush out the good along with the bad. We were both surprised to hear that, since everyone talks about how great they are (and husband was using one every day).
Oh, man. Cats!
ReplyDeleteUntil her leg healed and she could jump again, Abby meowed at me repeatedly until I lifted her up onto the counter to drink from the bathroom faucet. (Even though she could've climbed onto the toilet seat first and then gotten onto the counter from there.)
That is too awesome!
ReplyDeleteOliver is awesome! And a little gross. But mostly awesome.
ReplyDeleteThat's...pretty gross. Hope you're feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, god. I'm pretty sure you have the best cat stories.
ReplyDelete(And as a crazy cat lady, I of course mean that in a good way!)
Haha! Cats are funny.
ReplyDeleteThere is more to Neti pot usage than most people know. Here is a page that talks about Stage 2 (which I use regularly):

Ha ha... who knew Oliver was an environmentalist? He's merely trying to conserve the Earth's resources.
ReplyDeleteI might add, while this is gross, it's really not nearly as gross as when cats lick their butt, and mine do that ALL THE TIME.
Cats are gross, but dogs are even worse. My dog just recently discovered she likes to eat her own poop.
ReplyDeleteThis is weird- just last week I was watching this video and I didn't realize it was a big thing...
ReplyDeleteMaybe the cat had a salt deficiency?
ReplyDeleteOH GAG.
ReplyDeleteOh Oliver...no words.
ReplyDeleteI think he enjoyed my booty dance though.
Thanks for the vision of your cat licking from the waterfall of your sinuses. *gag*
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I like the idea of torturing your sinuses into cooperation through waterboarding...
although I AM sorry you have to suffer. I've been lucky enough to just pop the occasional Tylenol Sinus/Congestion tablet here, but perhaps you have more things ready to spring forth where you live?
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
ReplyDeleteHoo, boy, I love it. That is the best story ever.
