From my daDDy Jon)
I went this morning to turn on the coffee and found the kitchen pan rack had crashed to the floor, scattering saucepans, small skillets and BBQ tools all over the cat water bowls and the floor. The rack sat partially over the kitchen sink and was about 4 feet long. On top of the rack were a few meds, some coffee cans and a towel where Quincy sleeps. He is the only cat I have ever seen get up on the rack.
I checked for cat bodies and then went to check each one to make sure there were no broken bones.
Everyone seems all right.
One of the Revere stainless steel pans has a broken bakelite handle and I will get some super glue and try to fix it. The remainder of the stuff is in the sink to be cleaned and re-stored somewhere - because I won't try to install the rack again.It has worked fine for 9 years but the walls are plaster and lathe and I had to install it using anchors and long screws. That isn't an easy deal. The rack is heavy and the walls are old and crumbly.
I fear that some cat tried to get up there with Quincy and the weight was just to much. He was sleeping there when I went to bed.
I am just glad that old Satchel wasn't having a go at his drink water bowl directly underneath when it all came down. I didn't hear it.
