A terrible scare, yesterday.......

poor MiMi.
I am glad the little sweetheart is ok.
Will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh, Logan - thank you for posting as you did, with the "all clear" at the beginning. Even still, my heart was in my throat as I read on. Poor Mimi! Lots of snuggles and skritches to Mimi, and a big bracing hug for Helen, for doing the climbing despite her fear of heights. I'm not afraid of heights, but my Mom was, and know it is no joking matter.

Now, Butter - next time Mimi goes out, I want you on guard cat duty - those are dogs you are allowed to inflict damage on!

Karen, I think Helen probably inherited that fear of heights from her dad, and I guess a bit from me, too. Although I love rollercoasters, airplanes, tall buildings, etc, climbing ladders, getting on the roof, and some of those "team building" exercises where you walk tight ropes and things like that, scare me to death! I kept telling her "don't look down". I would have climbed that ladder in a heartbeat to get to Mimi, but Helen wouldn't hear of it. And it all worked out. Thank God!!!!

Mimi is doing just fine. She has gone outside a couple of times today, but only on the back deck and in the back yard, and funny enough, as one of you suggested, Butter has mysteriously been very close by. Good boy!!! That same good boy bit my toe tonight as I was going to prop my feet up on one of the empty chairs (or so I thought) while Helen and I were eating dinner tonight! Feisty boy!!!!!

I wish all dogs could be as gentle as mine are. Of course, my dogs have learned very quickly in their lives exactly who is "boss" in this house and the cats definitely rule, and they have claws and will use them if necessary.

Thank you all so much for understanding the situation and not passing judgement. We learned a very tough lesson yesterday and will be more aware of where the cats are going forward, before we leave and while we are at home.

Whew!!!

I missed this post somehow. So glad that Mimi is okay, and brother Butter is being protective. What a horror to go through!

So glad all is well now.

I'm with everyone else...my heart was in my throat while I read your post. I cannot imagine what went through your mind when you pulled up to see that terrifying sight.

Thank God Mimi is doing all right! It is amazing what we can do during emergencies.

Give that sweet girl lots of headbumpies and scritches from me and the boys.

(((((hugs)))))

Oh, Logan I was afraid to read this. I'm so glad that Mimi is ok.
What a scare that must have been to you guys.
Good boy Butter watching over Mimi. It almost sounds like he is trying to protect her.

Logan, I am so glad to hear that Mimi is okay! I would have been so scared to have witnessed such a terrible site! You and Helen are indeed Mimi's guardian angel to have appeared when you did and saved her. Thank God!
