Bonus Giggly Hotline: cats, chaos, and hosting disasters

We love a little extra bonus, especially when it's about our cats.

I could talk about my cat for two hours. I could do a full TED talk. No literally. She's stunning. She's gorgeous. She's model. She knows she's pretty. Do you know how crazy I am about cats? Besides making everyone adopt them around me. I know what kind of cats everyone likes. So like when I see a cute cat, I go away but which person would prefer this cat for me to send it to.

So like I do have a ton of like rag doll cats on my feet because I send you all of them and then I've sexy doll cats for grace and then for my mom's cats I've orange cat. So I have so many cats in my algorithm of all shapes, sizes, colors, and dated with cats. And I'm curating the perfect cat meme for everyone. It's exhausting but it's the life I chose. Each one has a unique personality.

When you're meeting a dog, it's like you know they're going to be excited. You can generally

sus out with their personalities. Cats are so different and especially when you have people over. Like butter doesn't. Butter's not into it. She's not socializing. She's not small talking. And with you. Particularly if a man comes in her direction. She doesn't want to hear. See she's hissing. A woman shall give a chance. Yeah. The routine age boy is she was like I'm calling the police. There's so many nuances of funny things cats do like does your cat ever use the litter

and then just decide to sprint. Yeah. Like gets the zimmy. Why did they do that? I think because they're like oh I'm so excited. I like to think the damn he's like hit my goal weight. I'm going down and he's where let's go. It's party. Let's get out of here. And then they're like whoa. That's a good run. You know in another thing people don't talk about in terms of like cats and dogs. You get a dog. You get a puppy you're training that puppy.

Hey this is grass. This is outside. This is where we go. You get a cat and you're like hey there's the litter box and they're like cool. Thanks for the heads up. Thanks.

“You don't have to talk about it anymore. That's what I mean. And that's all you talk about it with them.”

That's so much smarter like than a child. You know long you have to pie train your cat. Your cat is like perfect. I looked up one time like wood is daffy. Not daffy specifically. But like wood is what our rag dolls like bring capacity. Yeah. And then one was like three years old. And I was like yeah I bet three year old daughter. Who's lovely getting brushed. I do just say I've gotten people so close to the point of adopting cats to them. They go but

I have a really smart small apartment. I can't have it smelly. Yeah. I was one of those people. You were I was one of those people that was like I'm now having an odor in my apartment. I'm not having like a litter box. Arm and hammer cat litter's job is to make sure that after the car goes to the bathroom the apartment does not smell. Cats actually could be a huge part of hosting. Whether your cat likes to be around guests like daffy who likes to sit atop the stairs

and watch everyone below her because she's like look at all these ugly people. She literally does act like it's 14.56 and she lives in England and she's the queen and she's like,

“how'd I remember inviting them over your apartment smells so good. Like you would never know.”

The odor is nice. The cat lives there. Yeah. Okay, so we asked some gigglers to send in stories about crazy things that their cat has done whilst hosting while people are around. So we're going to listen to some of them and make some comments in here. What other crazy cats are doing? Hi, my name is Tiana. My kiddie's name is Makari Tham. Go to the giggler. She loves

the pouch raw. I love watching TV and always put some little mints on the TV when a yarn mom

makes a special guest appearance. So it's July 5th and I'm hosting a watch party for the magical over just in England world cup game. Since this is the sports podcast. I'm Mexican. My family is Mexican. So my parents and friends are over. I have a Chilean bar. I'm Margarita Bar. Super cute. The guest arrived. Marge's on her perch. The whole game. But then we're 70 minutes in. My friend plays during my career that by the TV. Marge comes out into the living room

and sees the soccer ball on the screen. So she hops on to the council and tries to carry a little mitten on the ball. She knocks down the magarita. It's those all over the floor and then splashes on her. At this point Marge's freaking out. She runs behind the council and naturally she's unplugging the TV and the game turned off and Mexico lost that day. Anyway, this was my vlog for hosting a sports event. Bye, love you Rose. She did everything but call the police. Get

everyone out of her home. Can I go have a crash out of it? It's literally like you know when you have a bed day and then like you trip and you stub your toe and then like you have fired. That's what happens. Like your jacket gets caught on like the door knob and you're like you're building burn still. I thought she was going to say that the cow and over drank Margarita and got drunk.

“I don't know why that's why my brain was going. Actually, I was like because her name's Margarita,”

she should be able to have a little Margarita. At least a sip. But we're we're responsible for the cat's name was Margarita. Yeah, I think the cat's name was Margarita. Uh-huh. Well, she was calling her Mar, which is okay. But then you know that at the end, she was like Margarita,

But can her little paws get the right button because they're kind of I don't know Margarita can unplug. I also feel like when you're a cat and they can open doors. True. If there's a TV with a ball going around, I'm like that's my game. So like I feel like it wasn't properly explained to her that she wasn't playing soccer and that's just that's on the host. But I'll see you new afterwards that the host was like, Margarita, I still like your perfect. Yeah, of course.

But like sorry, she wanted to sip of her name's sake. Sorry, she had an amazing story.

She's like the string is named after me. Mm-hmm. It's mine. Also, it sounds like a really fun party like invite us next time. And there's just so many things when you're hosting that are out of your control, like your cat turning off the TV, dumping a drink on your friend's hand. But one thing you don't have to worry about is arm and hammer cat litter and any odor while you're hosting because they're dealing with it. Hi, my name's Claire. My cat's name is snow.

And I also foster cats and at the time of this story, I had four foster cats in my house, plus my cat. My cat does not like other cats and she was very unhappy about this. I was also newly dating someone and I had them over for dinner and they stayed over. And then I woke up at six in the morning at two a weird sound. I'm trying to figure out what it is without getting up and waking up this man in my bed. Finally, I go downstairs and I see that my

“cat has taken a huge dump on the living room floor. And I start cleaning it up. I think I'm being”

really quiet, you know, of course my cat's perfect. She would never. And the guy who had stayed over

comes down the stairs while I'm holding a paper towel full of cat shit at six a.m. And yeah, he's my boyfriend now. Wait, that is a modern day love story. You know that Daphne has actually pooped and pee down multiple people. Yeah, because she hates when she's gone and you weren't telling her where you were going. One time I had my brother was spending the name at my apartment and she was not sure about she was not sure about she's still not sure about it.

And he accidentally shut the door in the living room locked her in and so she went and pooped literally right next to his head on the couch and my brother didn't know what it was because he had

never smelled her poop before because usually it's in the litter box. We have very similar cats

because butters the same way to the point that like when I would bring a guy over, I wouldn't even give him the whole speels that I have a cat because they're not gonna see it. Right? So it was like

“one guy remember stayed at my house for like a long time, like all day. No, he got. He didn't have a job”

and he was, we were just hanging out and he had nowhere to go. No, to be. Probably not house, not that big about it and we were lying there and like hours went by and when it gets really quiet sometimes better, I don't know where she runs across the bed across both of us. Yeah. He's the squealed. It seemed like it was a huge rat. Yeah. Because it's a new city and I was like, oh my god. She's sprinted over us. Wait, that would, that would scare the head. He shot himself. Yeah.

And also shout out to all the foster cats too out there. If you foster, you don't just save one life, you save many. One time I got home for a weekend trip with my husband and then had to go back to the airport to pick up my in-laws who were staying with us for the week. We just walked in the apartment, had enough time to unpack our own stuff, clean the litter box and feed the cats, then we left for the airport. After we pick up my in-laws, we walked back into the apartment,

I show them into the guest room to find that our cat mango fully took a shit on the guest bed,

“mortifying. I think he was mad because he thought we were leaving him again. We laughed about it now”

but I was so embarrassed and horrified. One time two of my girlfriends came to stay with me and Daphne woke up in the morning and like obviously wanted them to leave. So she went on to the bed. She looked at both of them and they were like, oh my god, she's so cute and she was just peeing. They didn't know until they felt something warm. And she's a silent assassin. She got better with this though. Like, I feel like it's a kid and she was a woman. She's, she's better now.

Wild with her bladder. Yeah, now she's like, okay, I guess you can stay. She hasn't had an accident when I'm like leaving in a couple weeks. Months? Couple minutes. There is something though but um, cat litter where I think they love like it's a familiar smell. So when you bring them somewhere new and you put down the cat litter, they're like, oh I'm home. Which is kind of like me when I go to restaurant and I'm nervous. I'm so excited because I go to the bathroom and I sit there and I go,

I'm at peace. No, anytime I go somewhere and I have to bring Daphne and I obviously hear emergency

where your food and water is. And that's all you're really new in life. Yeah, and I feel like she understands like, okay, cool. Where do I eat? Where do I shit? And let's take on my bed. Yeah. So when you have like friends visiting, what do you do to prepare? Well, I did everything for my girlfriends before they got there. Like let them sleep in my bed, like did new sheets, had like cute things on their nightside table until like I tried to plan everything very adorable. And

Daphne just came in and was like, no, I don't think so. See, when I have guests, they're coming into butter's house. Yeah, I'm not changing my house for the guests. I said the reason this little like spiral toy is right there is because that's where she likes to play. I also just bought this huge play thing made of like recycled materials and it looks like it looks like a cave and it's huge. And I just put in the middle of the living room and I have a full family visiting next week.

They're going to have to book around it because these cats are loving it. I count on arman hammer cat litter when I'm getting the house ready. Arman hammer cat litter is the one thing I don't have to think twice about. Okay, so we lovingly call our cat Pino, the Mino, because she is, well, she's a little bit of a psychopath, but our faux pas is we had our buddy living with us for a summer. This is a 33 year old grown man and he lived upstairs where the guest bedroom was and

“one night at like 11 30 p.m. we're going to call from him and we're like, well what the heck?”

Like you are inside that, like why are you calling us right now? So this man is calling us because Pino,

the Mino is standing at the top of the stairs and basically guarding the stairs and will not

let this man walk past her. So a grown as 33 year old man is terrified of our cat and cannot walk past and has to call for reinforcements for us to protect him and let him get to his own bedroom. So yes, we were hosting because he was living with us. She didn't do anything yucky, but you know, I guess she just she had some good judgment here. She said, no man allowed. It's fine. She's a woman with conviction. She couldn't have done anything in that house and she was,

you know what I'm going to do defend the land. She's like, this is my house and I must defend it. Wait, I was just like, one, I wish, like, okay, can we come up with AI that's actually useful, like, what are our cats thinking in their brains? Like, what was she thinking? Which is Danny and the top of the stairs, like, and I kept passing me, but like, why is she like putting her claws out? Us like, if you're a grown man, what could the cat, what, but you're ankle? I was just going to say,

“I was just like, I think the worst thing that can do is like scratch your life.”

Well, cats have bad PR because there's like, in cartoons or movies, cats always like scratch your face.

Oh, like, you know, like, when they jump on your face, like, my cats have jumped on my face and latched on and not come off. Kitty actually scratching for the first time last week. Yeah. I was laying in bed sleeping. I'm on my side and she was in, I'm on my side. I'm not facing her, my back is important. She's laying, like, right here by my head. I think she was falling off the bed because she put her paw up. I'm not kidding. She gripped my ear to, like, hold on, wake me up.

She was Titanic. She was going down at the ship. She was holding me back. I think she, like, rolled over to you hard and we're like, oh, no. And also, peanut of the meaner, like, you have to be an it girl to have, like, lore that you have that kind of nickname that's being talked about in Gagley Squad. Like, she's that girl. Yeah. If you learn calling me, he knows the meaner. Can't other banana. You're not it. You're not doing it. Yeah. Okay. I love all of these stories because

I truly feel, like, we're connected because we're all cat moms. And it's a very special bond.

“Yeah. And if you don't look at right now, you should adopt one. He should literally look into it.”

But look, having a pet is always chaotic. But because we love them so much, it makes the

chaos worth it. It's like what mom say about kids. It's worth it. It's worth it. Even though it's really can be hard sometimes. Our man hammer cat litter gives me peace of mind when hosting. And it just keeps everything fresh. So be guests ready with our man hammer cat litter. Shop on Amazon or Walmart and upgrade your litter experience.
