Ted Cat had a drama last night.

I was watching Law n Order CI last night because Vincent D'Onofrio is awesome, and I heard a thwump from upstairs , a meow and then some pathetic helpless mews. I go upstairs and Ted is stuck in the laundry sink. He jumped up thinking it was a bench and a way up to sit on top of the dryer but was surprised and now stuck. Stuck because the edges of the sink are too narrow to balance on and Ted is too fat . I lifted him out. Poor little guy was out of sorts all night, didn't even want his dinner. Here he is just before I rescued him.

Poor Ted Cat. The missing landing surface is a terrible trick for any pet. One of my previous dogs attempted to jump onto a chair I was reupholstering, not realising the seat was missing and was very startled to find himself falling through straight to the floor. He never fully trusted a chair again.

Nawww, who's an adorable floof 😻

And at least he's not like our Mr Snowy, who thinks sinks are a great place to sleep...

I shouldn't have laughed, but the look on his face is priceless!

I admit I laughed and got my phone, but only made him wait a few seconds. He needed pats and cuddles after rescue and I brought him a treat of roast chicken pieces to where he was hiding.

Aww, that face. Our previous cat fell in the toilet once. Luckily she got herself out. Didn’t stop her from continuing to drink toilet-water anytime the lid was left up, though

Poor Ted.

The look on his face is priceless though.
