We're bidsing it up as kickoff Kevin just said as we came into the office.

What's up, Abby?

What's up? You're excited to be on the best bits this weekend? Of course. We got some things to talk about and we're going to like kick it off with something that it's kind of dark but more just like I felt like the worst person ever. Oh geez. I know. I've had a lot happen in my life recently so we just got to get to it. Okay. You ready for this? Yes. All right. Here we go. So coming at number seven, we got an update from Eddie on his no parenting Sunday situation, how that's going, if they're going to keep doing it, and that whole thing. And it just brought up for me. I felt like the worst cat owner ever. Now let me tell you why. Okay. So I got back from our IHeart Country Festival in Austin. I was exhausted. And I napped all day Sunday. And Hazel and Rumi were kind of mad at me, which are my dog and my cat. And they're always mad when I get back from somewhere because they're like, you left us. You abandoned us. And they were kind of mad at me,

but, you know, over the day, they came back around, you know, I was feeding them, life was good again. Well, that night, I thought Hazel was still mad at me. This is the first time I had, like, full on left Hazel, and like somebody had to stay over and Remy was there. It was like the first time for all of that. And so I just really thought she was mad at me.

And normally she's out and about, but she wasn't. So I had put something in the pantry before I went to bed and I closed the door because my pantry is always closed. I did not realize Hazel followed me in there. Oh, no. And so I go to bed like normal and I'm not thinking anything of it because I'm

like, oh, she's just mad at me. And she doesn't typically sleep with me at this point. I've tried. She doesn't want to sleep with me yet. She just normally wakes me up. That's the only time I see her. But so like as I'm going to bed and all this is happening, me not seeing her as pretty normal. And then I wake up the next morning

And I go and like open up the bedroom door or like go and open up her her window to let her look out. And I'm not seeing her in the room that she typically sleeps in. I'm like, where is she? I look into the bed. She's not under there. I'm like, okay, maybe she's downstairs. So I go downstairs to start, you know, making their food or whatever. And she's not on the chair that she typically sits in. I'm like, where is this cat? And all of a sudden I walk into the kitchen and all I hear is this faint, you know, like, so faint. Oh, no. And I'm like, oh, my God. And I open up the pantry door out bust Hazel. And she's like, this freaking woman locked me in the pantry all night. Oh, my gosh. She was probably so confused. Oh, my God. This poor cat was probably meowing at me all night. I was so tired. I slept so hard. Like, did not hear anything. I think she had tried to jump up on my, like, recycling bins and stuff. Things were kind of scattered in there. And she had peed on the paper towels, which like my fault, my fault. Like girl, pee where you need to pee. That's my fault. And I know she made commotion and I just did not hear it. Remy didn't even hear it. Like Remy had, I don't think slept much over the past weekend when I was gone. She doesn't sleep very well when I'm not there. And so I think she was knocked out. Like, nobody moved. And so when I went into the pantry and as soon as I saw her bus out, I just collapsed onto the floor. And I just started crying. I was like, Haisal, I'm so sorry. I swear this does not normally happen. I did not realize. And she's become a little

shadow. Like she follows you in the kitchen because she loves food. Like this cat loves food. And she

will shadow you in the kitchen. And I just did not think twice about it. And oh my God,

when I tell you, like I cried in that entire day. I felt so horrible. And she was fine after like, she ran out and she just kind of looked at me like, what did you just do? And she doesn't normally eat overnight anyway, so that was fine. But she obviously didn't have her litter box and she didn't have water. So I'm like, for like seven hours, this poor cat was trapped in this pantry not knowing what was going on

and when i just tell you i felt like the most horrible person in life i'm sure you did but i mean

that's like an honest mistake it is but like this is a living breathing thing we're talking about

yes and i am you know i call my mom i call dad. I was like hysterically crying. This is at like 4.30 in the morning, mind you, like right before I'm heading in to work. And I'm like panicking. And I'm calling them and I'm like, well, why are we getting woken up? And I'm sobbing. I feel like this horrible person. And they're like, Morgan, it's okay. Like, did you learn a lesson? And I was like, yes, I learned a lesson, but I didn't want to learn this way.

Like. I feel like this horrible person. And they're like, Morgan, it's okay. Like, did you learn a lesson?

And I was like, yes, I learned a lesson, but I didn't want to learn this way. Like, this is terrible. So I felt like the worst cat in a rough my life. But it's all, see, you'll never do it again. You'll never do that again, right? Oh, my God. I have checked every time I go to bed now, I check every door.

I'm like, where are you?
