Speaking of cats....when my boys were young we got a girl orange tabby.....she was a great cat and treated our sons like her kittens.....
I should have written a book about her adventures.....each boy in different years tried to smuggle her to school in their backpacks for show and tell but were caught each time when she stuck her head out of the zipper.....
Many times I found her in one of their dresser drawers when she got in there and they didn't notice then closed the drawer...I'd hear a faint meow and find her.....I'd find her in their laundry basket in a closed closet the same way...a meow...
Anytime I was packing to deploy, she'd get in my barrack box and get grumpy when I took her out....
I recall one day riding home from work on the bike and seeing my boys and a few neighborhood kids looking up this huge elm tree we had in our yard.....I looked up and saw this orange speck and knew the critter climbed the tree......so up I went.....I stuffed her in my uniform shirt and brought her down...
She lived until she was a little over 18 and was a great friend......
I was trying to find a picture of her but can't at the moment....
