TIFU by letting my cat sleep in my bed.

My gf of 5 years broke up with me recently so my bed felt really empty. To have some company I let my elderly cat sleep in my bed, which I don't do often because she usually wants to get out of my room to get food early in the morning. And when she wants something, she'll let you know by meowing until she's contented. Take my word for it, her meows are loud! I sleep in the 2nd floor and even with closed windows this furry loudspeaker has no problem waking me up by howling below my room.

So at around 5am my feline alarm clock goes off. I tried to ignore her for a while but of course her endurance is far greater than my stubbornness. With barely opened eyes I stumbled to the door and let her out of my room. That's when the stench hit me. Somewhere on my light blue carpet there was cat poop.

It took me at least ten drowsy minutes of looking and sniffing around for her token of appreciation. I found it right under my foot, still warm and steamy, squishing up between my toes. I hopped to the bathroom on the other foot to clean myself and then spent a good half hour getting the shit that I just stomped into the carpet back out. By the time I got the stained area back to it's original color my mother got up and suggested to mix baking soda with a bit of water and let it dry on the carpet to disinfect and neutralize the smell.

I just vacuumed the generously applied, dried baking soda to reveal it has stained my carpet in a tone of brown resembling a baby's diarrhea sucked up by its diapers.

She's a really gentle and lovable cat when she's not complaining, but her waking me up to get out of my room after shitting on the carpet really settled wether she's allowed to sleep in my bed again.

TL;DR cat being a cat
