\nMaybe I spoke too soon. And maybe I shouldn\u2019t have mocked Noxy about having an accident in his cage.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nBecause hours and hours and hours<\/b> later, I just couldn\u2019t hold it anymore. And with a long, pitiful, humiliated groan, I let loose.<\/p>\n

O-o-o-o-h.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing worse than sitting in your own pee. For more than an HOUR.<\/p>\n

Because the first gas station bathroom we visited to clean me up had a broken bathroom door. And the second one wouldn\u2019t let cats in. And the first pet-friendly hotel was too disgusting to check in to. And the second was an hour and a half away.<\/p><\/div>\n

She dried me off ni the litter box<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

And once we got there, I had to endure the worst experience in life: a BATH. As soon as I could, I leaped from the bathtub, soaking wet, right into the litter box, where I proceeded to cover myself with cat litter that stuck to my wet fur. Then I shook it all off, spraying Mommy and Grammy with a sweet combination of water, wet litter and pee. I showed them!<\/p><\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\nThen Mommy took a shower.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAnd Grammy and PopPop (Lisa and Bob) had to go wash every blanket in the car (which were under the cage) AND the seat cover. Because my pee dripped down onto my brother\u2019s cage underneath me \u2013 PopPop had us stacked double-decker and strapped into the car. But PopPop said that seat cover was amazing. It did a great job of protecting the actual seat of our new truck. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nSo I was half wet and miserable, but my mommy was there, and I cuddled her. And I head-butted her a lot. And I slept next to her.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAnd I made sure I used the litter box before I got into the car the next morning.<\/p>\n

Ellie Smoit, the Adventure Cat, is chronicling her journey from her house in Colorado across the United States and to Mexico, with a little help from her owner, Lexie Greenawalt.<\/i>
