I haven't had much time to read the group lately, so I'm sending purrs
out
to all who need them.

I *do* have a story to tell, though. (chuckle)

We had a friend over this past weekend (I worked, but he's a friend of
my
hubby's so they got a chance to hang out). I got off of work Saturday
night
and wasn't quite tired yet. I had to do the "unwind" thing, you know.
So,
I was sitting up in bed reading, when I hear this shrill cat scream. It
sounded like a cat being beaten or something. Then I hear "Christy,
Christy!" from our friend who had fallen asleep on the couch.

I ran into the living room to see Miss Chloe, arms stretched apart in
crucifix position, hanging from the side of the couch! I had to lift up
her
body to ease up the pain in her shoulders in order to unclaw her from
the
couch fabric.

We've always said that she's not too bright and this act proves it.
There's
a reason why we call her Miss Sticky Paws. This is not the first time
she's
gotten stuck, but both paws at the same time? Arms totally stretched
apart?
It alarmed me at the time, but I had to laugh my *ss off afterwards.
She
was no worse for wear and immediately ran into the back bedroom. I had
to
wake my husband up to tell him the story and we shared a great laugh.
Maybe
you'd have to know this cat to fully understand the humor, but if you
knew
all the dumb situations she puts herself in, you'd have a good chuckle,
too.
:~)

Oh, this happened one pawed to Pearl once when I first got her. It was
scary as hell because her yelling set Grant off and he got afraid and
was trying to attack her! She gets that way and I just make sure her
nails are trimmed. Just taking the very tip off helps immensely. Poor
Chloe!!!!


It's not funny, but it's funny, do you know what I mean? It's almost a
daily occurence that she gets herself stuck. I have to take her to the vet
to get her claws trimmed (at $35 a visit) because if she's held, she bites.
She's so fussy!
