Storm check-in
Feb. 3rd, 2022 01:14 pmNo power out and no frozen pipes so far! And a nice covering of fluffy snow over what is bound to be treacherous black ice so there's no way we're leaving the house. XD

D.Va's Adventure
Feb. 3rd, 2022 05:38 pmD.Va had her a little adventure today! As you know, Bob, Texas was hit by an ice storm last night, and as part of our storm prep we filled the guest room bathtub with water for toilet-flushing purposes in the eventuality that we lost water, either via our pipes freezing or something happening at the mains. We do not drink water from this tub, because the cats play in this tub. We have water containers for that.
D.Va and Sora investigated the tub last night, and were, at the time, aware that it contained water.
D.Va appears to have forgotten that in the heat of play, as![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
myrialux and I heard a horrible noise and both rushed into the bathroom, only to find a trail of water splashes resolving into kitty pawprints running from the bathroom to behind the couch in the media room, which is where she hides when scared. She snuck out shortly afterward, but was freaked out and wouldn't let us come near her. She kept stopping to groom herself, and eventually I was able to touch her enough to ascertain that while she was indeed wet, the microsecond she spent flailing in the tub only wetted the guard hairs on her coat, and her undercoat was still dry. But she wouldn't let us dry her with a towel.
So we turned our gas fireplace on, set the ottoman in front of it, and she spent the afternoon there. She is now dry and toasty, and in a much better mood!
