A Curious Affair
“That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve the man, but it would deteriorate the cat.—Mark TwainI kept my word to the cats and got a giant sack of cat kibble at the grocery store. I also threw in a bag of raw peanuts for the squirrel. The clerk on the afternoon shift was new and didn’t recognize me, so I was feeling fairly confident of making it home with no one in the neighborhood any the wiser about me inheriting the strays. But of course my luck ran out in my ...own driveway, not twenty feet from my door. Isn’t that always the way? Abby, my feline-unfriendly neighbor, chose that day to visit on her way back from her volunteer job at the library, and peering through the bare butterfly bush at my opened trunk as I unloaded my telltale groceries, she immediately spotted the heifer-sized bag of economy cat kibble dragged halfway out of the hatchback and left drooping over the bumper while I rested my muscles for a moment. It’s nice that they have clerks to help load stuff into your car, but what do they expect to happen when you get these things home?“Jillian,”MoreLess
