ORIGINAL: soul2share Do you know how hard it is to bleach red koolaid out of floor grout??????? No, but I do know how hard it is to get Hawaiian punch out of beige carpet! Back when I lived in California, I opened a can of Hawaiian punch while I was eating breakfast, but didn't finish it. As I was stuck in traffic in my hour-long commute downtown, it dawned on my that I left that can out on the dining room table. But then I almost convinced myself that I had put it away. I went back and forth all day long as to what I had done with that can. Well, when I got home, there was my answer! My cat Amanda had gotten up up on the table, batted the can down, and the Hawaiian punch spilled all over the carpet. I must have used 20 different stain removers, but there was still a slight pink trace. I was going to replace the carpet, but didn't have to, as I lost the condo in the Northridge quake anway. Then when we moved to Texas, the adventuresome Amanda got up on the bathroom counter. I had a spray bottle of tub and tile cleaner sitting on the counter. Of course, she had to bat that off onto the floor. Unfortunately, the cover wasn't on 100% securely, and a small section of carpet got bleached. I cover it up with an area rug to this day. She crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge several years ago, and no other cat I've had since can compare. Amanda was in a league of her own when it came to damaging things and general brattiness. When people say one of my current cats is bad, I just laugh and say they are rank amateurs compared to Amanda.
