"bush akimbo" is the best phrase i've ever written tbh

I just finished reading this to mum and (she loves this line also) but she's been in similar situations and knows the power of the universe to avert disaster where it is able. 🫂

Yes, wear some kind of pants lol 😆 And I'm very glad it was just a fright and not a disaster. 🫂💜

I had a similar episode, but I was already up and eating breakfast with the sliding glass door open and the screen shut. Stray cat approached the screen, and my tuxie boy went nuts and banged the screen down and ran out. I followed in my PJs, heart racing, and spotted them in the yard next door. 1/?

It was still dark outside, the grass wet. I rushed back for a stepstool to help climb over the 4' picket fence, and once in the neighbor's yard I didn't see or hear either cat. All I could think of was my kitty had chased the stray up onto the highway and beyond. Maybe hurt or dead. 2/

Then I heart my kitty prowling & growling. I grabbed him, he fought me but not too hard. Somehow I got us both back over the fence with no stepstool on that side to help. Back inside, I dried him off and examined him for injuries but found none. I swear it took HOURS for my heart to slow down. END

OMG. I can so clearly imagine a kitty banging down a screen like that. Harrowing!!!

He was good at it, and you'd think I'd have learned but no. A yr later, in a different house, he banged the screen down to get to a bird on the patio (which easily flew away). This time, he saw where he was, and froze until I could step out and rescue him. Door stayed closed after that.

omg CAT. NO.

He was a rascal, but very sweet and loving. He went OTRB in 2009, and I still miss him every day.

Aww, what a sweetheart. Such a cute pink nose <3

I knew immediately he was a tuxie without you mentioning it 😅

Oh wait you did mention it 🤦🏻‍♂️ nvm it's been a long day ...

😂😂😂

I "heard", not "heart." My pulse is up just remembering.😉
