Surprise!

Back story: My wife received this box of chocolates a while back. They were oblong pieces about 2 inches by a half or three quarters of an inch wide, about the size of two joints on my finger (but since you've never seen my fingers that probably doesn't help) and each is encrusted with crumbled nuts, almond or cashew, wrapped in foil. So this morning, there only two left. I threw the box away and set the two, one partially out of its foil, on the counter.

We have 5 pets. Three cats and 2 dogs, one of whom is a known counter surfer.

This morning as we were getting ready to go, I noticed one of the chocolates we in the hall between the kitchen and living room. I was like, "How did this get here? I'll bet a cat knocked it off the counter and a dog brought it here and we interrupted them from their feast."

So I picked it up. It wasn't a chocolate. It was a cat turd sprinkled with kitty litter.

Aargh!

So after scrubbing my hands in bleach....

I wonder how that got there. The.litter pans are in the basement, so either a cat carried it up (unlikely) or a dog did (more likely) hoping to savor his treat but again we interrupted him. And by do dogs eat cat poop anyway? Ew.

The "carry up on their rump" theory might work if we had long-haired cats, but they're all short-haired.

Yes, I've heard of them. I'm not sure how they'd have managed to roll it completely in litter while stuck to their butt and then bring it upstairs though. That takes talent.
