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

I chuckled at the last line. Oh, I hope this isn't true! Great story telling as always!

It was true, it is true, and it happened in 1989, but none of us will ever forget it. I will never forget the look on the drywaller's face either when he realized how many walls I had cheerfully chopped up. Can you imagine the stench if the cat died in a wall?
