    the cat fight, a train and the flasher

    It's one o'clock in the morning -the porch light from my mom's house is shining in
    my eyes and the sound of nails on the window, next to my bed, is keeping me awake.

    last night I came back from mom's house with eddie under my arm.
    As I put him on the floor and noticed he ran to and was intently staring out the door.
    I walked into the bedroom and heard him start to talk. It was the 'RE-OW, RE-OW'
    that signaled that the stray neighborhood cat was in the patio area between the houses..



    LOL, he has had a few encounters with Mr. Stray, usually ending with the screen door taking most of
    the punishment. Not tonight…….

    Eddie began to scamper between the door and the window which is next to the bed…..window, door, window, door with the 'RE-OW' sounds for effect. I'm mildly amused at this point, I'm getting ready for
    bed, putting on my shorts when I hear the hissing sound of a cat just over my shoulder.

    I turn and see Eddie's rear end at the screen of the window. I reach over to get him out of the window, as I
    touch his hind quarters he turns and hisses at me!!!! Hey what did I do to you??

    His next move is to go thru the screen to get to Mr Stray.

    At that point my last glimpse of Edward is his fluffy tail disappearing out the window.

    I hear a thump and ALL hell breaks loose.

    At that point I'm thinking about Eddie getting thrashed, scratched and hurt…..

    I run to the front door and see THE TRAIN go by.

    At the front is Mr. Stray……the next 'car' is Magic, the big red dog , who apparently had Mr. Stray
    cornered in the patio, next to my window……bringing up the rear, with his tail standing straight up in the air is Edward D. Katz…..it's dark out side so it takes me a second to figure out what's going on!!!!

    a mottled cat, a dark red dog and a white cat bringin up the rear!!!!

    I hit the door and run out to the driveway just in time to see eddie make the corner, he's heading along the fence next to the neighbor's house………I almost make the turn when I realize that as I ran to the door
    I dropped my shorts and am now standing in the driveway in a t-shirt, nothing else…..

    I run back into the house and get my shorts on, a flashlight and go to find my cat!!!!!

    I find the cat under the truck and as I shine the light on him he stands there defying me to crawl under
    the car to grab him……after some initial coaxing I remember that he responds best to, 'LET'S GO!"

    I am proud of the fact that he understands some basic verbal commands!! when it's time to leave my mom's house I just say, 'let's go' and he saunters to the door!!

    As he waddles to the rear of the truck, I walk over and pick him up…..just like nothing had happened….

    As we get back into the house, I'm shaking with relief……..THANK GOD!!!! I begin to laugh, then I close the window (the screen can wait at this point!)…..

    After a final scolding I climb into bed and am startled by a flash of light, the sound of cat nails on glass and
    a mewling sound that can only be described as, 'DAD LET ME AT HIM, I KNOW I CAN TAKE THAT
    PUNK…JUST GIVE ME ONE MORE CHANCE…'

    I drift off to sleep…….light in my face, scratch, scratch and Eddie making all kinds of rude noises…



    things I learned…..

    Fasten your window screens, get dressed before you go out and chase your cat and the funniest thing is watching a cat, being chased by a dog with another cat in pursuit….only in my world!!!

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -

    I laugh, therefore? I am.

    Oh my! What an exciting evening you had. And it sound like you just drifted off to sleep, no problem! I would have been wide awake at this point with the very last thing on my mind being sleep!

    I'm glad you got Eddie back inside safe and sound, but it must have been hilarious to see the "train."

    Great story.....now if we only had pics to go with it.

    OHHHHHHH man. That's just too funny. I can see it all perfectly in my mind.
    I thought I couldn't laugh any harder and then I got to lbaker's comment.
    You people really crack me up!

    *LMAO*

    Ok that was one of the best stories I have read in ages. Reminds me slightly of the time at the stables where I boarded my horse they had a Weimeraner (sp) dog and a calico cat. One day I was grooming my horse when I heard this commotion...behind me was a large crow flying very low to the ground with the cat chasing the crow and the dog chasing the cat...I then promptly raced behind them all flapping my arms about screeching...Goody Goody Goody...which was actually one of the horses names...why I don't know...*chuckle*

    My God, I've got to visit California......that story conjures up all kinds of visions.......

    Who needs TV when you've got Richard and Pet Talk!!!
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    i have to catch the cat.

    i have to put on some clothes...

    cat? clothes? cat? clothes? cat? CLOTHES!!!!!

    i guess modesty wins at a moment like that!

    Both sides of the state...

    Just about 2 years ago, we were getting ready to go on vacation. Ralph had gone to do soemthing, and I did not realize he didn't shut the gates. I let Sadie out (our only dog at the time) and she went to visit the neighbor across the street, who was packing his car for vacation. I couldn't go get her...it was 10 am and I was only wearing a t-shirt! Thankfully, after a quick hello, and a frantic call from mom to get home, she did!!


    Great Story Richard. Glad Eddie made it home okay after his adventure

    well,
    i can only say that a woman dressed only in a t-shirt at 10 a.m. is far more appealing, and acceptable, than a flasher whispering, "eddie! eddie!" next to the neighbors bedroom window about 15 after midnight.
