Rural Cat Drama Results in Neutering

Last week, my black cat operative in Wesson, Lightning, made a tactical error. Having been chased up an oak tree by my grandma's cat-eating malamute, he found himself stranded. Grandma is a cat person, so she was going to try to lure Lightning down with some tuna. But first, she had to get the dog away from the tree.

This proved easier said than done. Balto the malamute is much smarter than we thought, and wouldn't let anyone catch him. So, Grandpa went to the vet and got some doggie valium, which they put in some raw hamburger. After he was doped up, he fell asleep, and Grandpa incarcerated him in the pen. Shame on Balto for running a sweet little black kitty up a tree.

However, Lightning wouldn't come down for about five more days. Finally someone called the neighbors, and they figured out who Lightning's mom is. She came and picked him up after Grandpa finally managed to lure him down with some tuna.

Grandma lost about three nights of sleep, and poor Lightning is going to become a eunuch this week. Uncle Glenn thinks he'll be like Maurice and gain 20 pounds and become a big pussycat. Just what this world needs. Another fat docile lap kitty. :P
