This morning we decided at the last minute to play golf and Denny wanted to drain our black water tank first since we're decamping tomorrow morning. There is a process where you drain the tank, then "back flush" it by means of adding water back to the tank in an attempt to flush out all the solids and then you drain the tank again. In the middle of the process, Denny needed to use the bathroom, then got distracted when he called the golf course to see if all the frost was off the greens. All of a sudden we noticed Patches stalking up the steps leading to the bedroom/bath area and I heard a clunking sound. I opened the bathroom door to see the toilet filled to the brim with water from the contents of the black water tank and quickly asked Denny if he was still back-flushing. He said he thought he had turned off the back flush but ran out to double check. Yeah, no he hadn't.
I had a bit of a mess to clean up but nothing like I would have had if the cat hadn't heard something abnormal going on and "stalked" the sound that the water forcing itself up through the closed valve of the toilet bowl was making.
The cat from h*ll earned her treats today.
