Woman Destroys House Saves Cat
The cat fell into our wall today, upstairs, where I did not even know we had a hole.
I am the mom of three excited girls who are all shrieking
for they can hear the pitiful cat screams.
I will be able to handle it.
I am the mom, right?
Meow. Meow. MEOW. Meow?
The cries are softer now,
as if the cat is beginning the dying process.
Meow. Meow? Meow?
Did I mention I am not a prissy Mom?
A Mom who has no concept of how hard drywall is to fix...
I am soon running from floor to floor,
listening with my dog-ears, making holes,
hoping beyond hope I do not come out of a
hole with half a cat, or a cat nose or a cat tail.
My husband is less than excited about it when
he arrives home, because he had no idea I
have an axe, knowing me well enough to
know, of course I would not be afraid
to lavishly use one
Moral of this story: Cat safe, woman in dog house
