You have heard the old saying ~
Curosity Killed the Cat.

Well, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

My Nannie (bless her soul) feeds all the stray cats in the neighborhood. Seems the more she feeds them, the more they stick around. And the more they stick around, the faster they multiply.
Needless to say, we have quite a few strays hanging around. Which is not all that bad, because they sleep under my house (I live across the street from my Nannie, by the way) and keep all the mice away. I detest mice. Filthy, filthy creatures.
Anywho ~ where was I? Oh yea ~ the old saying.

Tuesday night, Nannie called me to ask if I could come over and fix the color on her TV. Seems my aunt thought it needed an adjustment when in fact it suited Nannie just fine. I am rambling again. (see how easy it is for me to lose my train of thought) During the course of the conversation, she tells me one of her kittens has gotten it's head stuck in a jar.

And it being a stray, it won't let anyone near it. Poor thing. Can you imagine having a jar stuck on your head? We tried in vain for 2 days to catch this kitten and release it from its self made prison. Well, today my uncle managed to catch it by the tail, slip the jar off it's little noggin and get scratched in the process.

So I suppose the old saying is somewhat true. Had we not been able to catch the little fella...

well we won't think about that ~ will we?
