Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2005Bonnie this Morning
Put the new dishwasher on before going to bed and found the kitchen floor covered with water this morning - it is the second time it has done this and is still under guarantee, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. What has this to do with Bonnie you might ask. She was asleep in the carry cat box next to the dishwasher and it was on the floor!!! Although half a dozen newspapers on the bottom of the carry box had soaked up a lot she was still lying on water, sigh. Hardly the thing for an injured cat! However the good news is that she is improving. She used her litter box (also sitting in water) ate her breakfast and staggered off into the lounge for a day's rest. Ye gods, even the carpet near the kitchen door is soaked - more growls. I got a whole bucket of water off the floor!!!

My mother had a washing machine in her kitchen (it was originally in a back utility room, but the plumbing in that room turned out to freeze too readily). She would hook the drain hose over the edge of the sink and screw the supply hoses onto the faucets. She soon learned to keep an eye on the machine when it was running, because the vibration would sometimes cause the drain hose to walk its way up and off the sink, dumping twenty gallons or so of soapy water onto the kitchen floor.

Jo Sorry about your floor, Bev. A gasket probably needs replacing on the machine. Glad to hear sweet Bonnie is feeling better. Nothing like a good long rest for injured limbs. We are continue to pray and purr for her.

The carry box was open so she could have departed any time. It is a new machine and still under guarantee so shouldn't need anything replacing. It flooded a couple of months after we got it and they took it away and repaired it. Wahhhhhh, I want another brand.

Good luck in getting a proper settlement for your defective dishwasher. MLB Sorry to hear about the dishwasher. Continued purrs and best wishes for Bonnie recover completely and really soon, SignaturePolonca & Soncek > Put the new dishwasher on before going to bed and found the kitchen > floor covered with water this morning - it is the second time it has [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Bev However the good news is that she is improving.
