Just did a job for a lady who admitted to housing 32 cats (yes, all in the house), & 2 dogs. At 1 point I had to remove a bottom hinge of a door. I couldn’t get the pin out, she told me it was cat pee that had corroded the hinge together.
Next while trying to remove a deadbolt on her door, it was coated in something, so bad that I wasn’t even able to remove a key that was stuck. She admitted that it was cat pee. Her entire living room was gutted, left with a bare concrete floor, & a few cabinets. I assume the cat pee had saturated the carpet so bad that she probably had to remove it.
You’re probably imagining a dumpy little house needing to be condemned. No, this was a house in the hills, worth well over $500,000, one that you’d drive be & say you wish you could afford. And yes, every odor you’d assume existed, definitely did. I had to force myself not to think about it.
She kept telling me that she was about to remodel, & had all this work she needed to do, etc. But she never admitted the first step was to get rid of all the cats!! She told me that people just dump the cats on her. I asked her if she’d heard about the lady who recently got busted in Austin who had 75 cats in her apt; 25 or so dead in an unplugged refrigerator. She said yeah, & how awful it was. I don’t think she realized that she was basically in the same category as that lady!
She was very nice, but was a bit obsessive compulsive. She insisted on following me everywhere I went, & was a fanatic about recycling. So much so, that while I was filling out the paperwork in my van, she was picking up little pieces of metal off my floor so she could recycle it!! But if you met her outside of her house, you’d never know it. Extremely nice & level-headed.
1. The Lord loves a workin man.
