A true story, " Cat gets stuck in garage door after falling asleep"Quote; On Dec. 29, 2016  authorities were called to a home in Louisiana after neighbors noticed a cat named Bella hanging from a garage door in a precarious manner.

Once upon a time there was an impulsive cat named Bella
A fun loving white and gray small
four-legged meowing furry ball
She loved to sprawl on the doormat
in her owner's humble abode

Bella also had an evil side that would unfold
She was always ready for combat
chasing a small bushy-tailed woodrat named Jerry
that stole anything it's mitts could carry

One day Bella started meowing more than usual as well
as cleaning herself 
usually a sign a rainstorm will pour
A few days later her prediction came true
four inches of rain until it withdrew


Bella, sweet little fella afraid of water
fell asleep on the garage door

Bella's owner didn't notice her when he left 
to get some lumber for repairs at the store
pressed  the remote button closing the garage door

With a look of shock and a surprise on her face
Bella got squished between frame work and closed garage door
her hind legs and  tail hung over

            Everyone shouting,
                        "A cat is stuck between a garage door and the wall"
                                                     "Oh my God, it's Bella"

Neighbors rushed over to remove the frame
carefully removing Bella from being lame

Bella, sweet little fella afraid of water; that was a very close call

Lucky Bella used one of her nine lives after being trapped in garage door
surviving without any injuries, brought the community together
to rescue her

Bella sleeps sprawl on the doormat
in her owner's humble abode
staying away from the garage door
killing time playing with Jerry the woodrat
