I'm laughing too!!! That is a great story - I'll tell you it is sure something what these cats make us do!!!! When all the tile workers came in my house my Meka was SCARED!! I finally get a hold of her (hiding behind a waterbed) bribing her with food and open the door to yell at hubby to come help take her to the car (we were taking her out of town while the work was being done) and she hears the noise of the scrapers when I open the door and claws my neck good - I SCREAM!!! Totally embarassing my hubby and the workers look at me like it is just a dumb cat - but that is my baby!!! I would have been on the roof too!!! Debbie
