Camouflage

We have three black rugs in our house; one in front of the kitchen sink and two in the bathroom.
I liked these rugs when we first got them, but lately they've been trying to kill me. If you look at this bathroom rug really closely you might be able to spot the reason why. The rug is like that stone bridge in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. You have to look at it from a different angle or throw dirt on it to really SEE it.



For some unknown reason these rugs are where our fat cat, Sonde, chooses to sleep. These pictures were taken with all the lights on so you can imagine how difficult it is to see him when I get up in the middle of the night to take a leak or get a drink of water.

Unless his eyes are open or he happens to make a courtesy meow before I step on him I generally end up tripping on his bloated body and falling against our sink. I've gotten hurt by him so many times that I don't even walk on these rugs anymore. So now I have to treat these rugs like they're hot lava and if I touch them, I'll die.

But I like the rugs. Maybe I'll get rid of the cat.
