A few weeks ago, I found Tawny high up in a tree, meowing rather pleadingly. After spending an hour finding a ladder tall enough to reach the cat, coaxing him with soothing kitty calls and finally food, I rescued the feline. The cat could starve or freeze to death, trapped up here indefinitely, I had thought.
Later that evening, when my husband returned from errands with the kids and I related to them the cat story, my 9-year-old son laughed, “Mom, Tawny always climbs up there and gets back down by himself!” Oh.
I think they do that just so they can say they got one over on the human peoples!

halfmoon girl, yes, just look at him…you can see it in his eyes! And after all that sorry meowing. Reminds me of my children. :-)
Teaching is fine, it just keeps me more busy than I want to be or should be, though. The kids are doing great and still enjoying it, and it’s a blessing to be in a Christian school.

Cats are so snooty and sneaky sometimes! Cute story- confirms that you are kind hearted! How is teaching and how are your kids doing at school?

Becky, something like that!
Ha Ha! Love the picture!
Funny! Who can resist the meows of a stranded kitty? I’m sure I would have done the very same thing. (Our cat looks exactly like yours!)
