(Photos taken by Chelsea's friend Vanessa while in New York for Halloween.)
We arrived back home in France to hear that it had rain cats and dogs. More cats than dogs. In fact one cat. That famous cat. Our neighbor's cat. The cat that has trespassed through our upstairs window (and only God knows how) and peed in our bedroom twice! That naughty little cat. Cute cat yes, but cute doesn't exempt peeing.
That cat fell down our chimney.
Chelsea on the other hand dressed up as a bigger cat and flew to New York for Halloween.
Cats are going places these days.
French Husband is not a cat but he dragged me to Toulouse less than twenty-two hours after after hearing about the cat's tale. He had some business to bark about, and since we do not have children at home he trapped me into going with him. Well not a trap, but a gentle beg. How could I say no? Who wants to stay home alone, unpack suitcases, while feeling the quiet stillness right after being home in Willows for Halloween?
The kitten (It isn't a cat because it isn't even a year old,) had fallen down the chimney three floors worth! Not even Santa Claus could pull that trick unscathed. When our friend Mat opened the insert door he found the poor little kitten inside. It jumped on him for dear life. Mat gave it some water, by holding the bowl to it, since the kitten would not let go of him, nor stop meowing.
Our chimney has a screen on top, so that birds and things do not fall inside. The chimney has an insert at the base, so there was nowhere to go for the poor little cat that fell in… How did it fall in? Only God knows (at least two days without water, food or a bathroom.)
Note: As for who will be a guest blogger on Tongue in CHeek, I will let you know as soon as I talk with that knucklehead brother of mine. Which means tomorrow I'lllet you know. Thank you for your ideas, and comments. I might have to have several of you fill in as guest bloggers, instead of just one person. Who would you like to see as a guest blogger?
