Today, I woke up to find that my cat had knocked over a $35 can of powdered baby formula, and there were TWO different colonies of ants warring over the bounty all over the counter. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after weeks of wondering if my cat has a fetish for licking my bed covers, I finally witnessed him licking up an ant off of the covers. Turns out that my bed is infested with ants. FML
Today, I woke up, got up, and felt something crunchy under my feet. My son thought it would be funny if he spread cat litter all around the house. Used cat litter. FML
Today, I found thousands of ants in a secret nest in an unused corner of my apartment. They were feeding on the baking mix I forgot in a box from moving in two months ago, and the queen has been laying her eggs on my wireless router. FML
Today, I woke up to find that my cat had barfed all over my laptop's keyboard and screen, filling each nook and cranny of the stuff. As if that wasn't bad enough, when I went to make coffee to deal with the stress, I found that I was out of coffee. FML
Today, I went to visit my grandmother. My grandfather recently died, so I had gotten her a cat for comfort. Turns out in her sadness, she had forgotten about the cat. I found its remains being eaten by ants and birds. FML
Today, I was woken up at 5:15 AM to the lovely sounds of my cat barfing in three different places on my bedroom carpet. FML
Today, I found some Nesquick Chocolate Milk mix in my pantry which sounded good. While making a glass, I got angry because not all of the mix would disolve. Frustrated, I downed the drink. When I finished I looked in the glass and realized the mix that wouldn't disolve was actually tiny ants. FML
Today, I awoke to my cat with micro pellets all over him. He'd destroyed a pillow containing them, and now there are thousands of these pellets throughout the entire house. My vacuum is broken. FML
Today, my roommate finally cleaned her cat's very full litter box. I later found our only good spatula crusted with kitty feces, which she'd left on the kitchen counter for me to find. FML
Today, I found a horde of ants in one of my socks when I put it on my foot. FML

All you need now is a colony of acid-shooting termites to kill off all the ants except for one of coarse and you should name him Z.

OP lay out cornmeal. ants love it but can't digest it. they will just feed it to their queen and altogether die!!! I hate ants.

Does this really work?

Hm, I'm going to try that when the weather warms up. That is, if my landlord doesn't get his ass on the ball and hire some exterminators.

Maybe she gave birth to a kitten and was feeding it the baby formula.

why not? maybe she had the cat for years then had a baby. Should the cat be out on its ass because its owners chose to be parents. I have a cat and a baby and I grew up with cats from the day i was born. Cats do no harm, they do not sit on babies faces, they don't attack them because of the milk smell. All of that is old wives tales.

im pretty sure the only thing that would concern anyone is too much fur around the baby, not those old wive's tales.

Well that blows, OP. Baby formula is getting ridiculously expensive these days. It's kind of a slap for those of us who can't breastfeed. Try not to be too hard on the cat. Monnanon, not all cats are chill, unfortunately. I had a retarded cat (really, he was) named Kahn who, when I had my son, got extremely jealous and territorial and started peeing in the baby's room and swatting the baby when he got near him. We had to get rid of him (Kahn, not the baby).

This falls into the 'so what' category. Clean it up, put things in cupboards instead of shelves for cats to knock over (or get rid of the cat so you can use shelves) and deal with the ants.

Well imo, $35 is easily worth watching an epic war between two ant colonies :D

watch the battle for a while trace the ants back to their nest and seal the ants nest with wax and clean the mess then go spank your cat

I see the last three words of your comment being misconstrued as being dirty.

Why are ants in your home? do you live in a ditch? i leave food around and no bugs get on it

Some places have significant ant problems. Some places are different to the one in which you live. If you combine these two concepts, your personal experience of life is not identical to everyone else's.

I can keep my house spic-and-goddamn-span and still have ants. I don't live in a hellhole at all; it's an historical property converted into modern apartments. Ants live in the walls, and nothing short of an exterminator will help, which isn't my responsibility.

We get ants here every fall, they stay through winter, and leave by spring. Only way to keep them out is old tricks, like the cornmeal one. Yes, it works. Chalk-lines work, too, they won't cross it.

You definitely deserve it. Luckily I only had to pay half the price of you, but I still made sure the lid was tightly sealed and it was ALWAYS in a cupboard. Learn to take better care of things, ESPECIALLY what goes in your child's mouth!

Dogs can knock stuff over plenty.

YDI for leaving stuff out where your cat can knock it down or for not training your cat better. As a pet owner and a parent, you should be more diligent about guarding against this type of thing. BTW, if it was Similac, it probably already had bug parts in it. No harm done.
