And now, a happy story about a cat
Cats: Uncategorized, slack woman|Under the darkening skies of approaching storms and with the radio shrieking “severe thunderstorms,” we arrived at our trailer for our holiday.
That’s when the Cheddar-the-cat bolted out of her cat taxi. She zigzagged around the property and then darted into the woods.
Being a city cat, Cheddar isn’t familiar with raccoons, skunks and other creatures of the wild. And she wasn’t familiar with the area.
As the air thickened with the coming storms and the light dwindled, we trudged through the woods calling her name, willing the silly beast to show its face. But no face appeared. Birds swooped for cover and things rustled in the bush. Everything boded badly for Cheddar. Our hearts were heavy.
Go here to learn the rest of the story. Spoiler: it has a happy ending.
Here is Cheddar in various stages of repose.

That is one gorgeous cat! Luckily she returned before the rain. Wet cat in a trailer? Ugh.

What a cute cat! I can see mischievousness in her eyes–like my tuxedo cat Frankie.
I’m so glad she came back in time to avoid the storms, which might have driven her further into the woods. They’re our babies!

Jacy, you hit the nail on the head, she is Sylvester with PMS.
Chelene, she is such a mess when wet, takes forever to dry out and yes, smellier than smelly
Zed, mischievous is the word only I am too useless to spell that word. Thank you for making it easy for me.
