YOPJ - Kitty Survives it All

"Yeah, we put the cat in the toilet!" Exclaimed one boy.

"We tried to trap him in it but he jumped,out!" The other one explained.

"So at least you weren't killing him" I practically sighed the words out. I had just runhollering down the hall to save my favorite feral buddy and was still a little breathless with the rush of it all. "He really screamed at you. Are you a little nuts!? You could have been scratched."

Knowing the cat found the safety of an open window made me feel better. Too bad we didn't dry him off. I guess he had an interesting tongue bath.

Sampson adopted us. He showed up and declared his territory was our house; been defending it ever since. The boys are good to him. Mostly. But over the years there have been balloons on his tail and so much more. He's 8 years old and somehow still fends for himself, in and out of the house.
