Daily Thoughts

Reader's Story

Our neighbor's cat, Dos, loves to greet us when we get home. She comes 
running as soon as we are out of the car so she can get her pats and 
scritches.

One day, my sister called me on my cell just as I was pulling up to the 
house. I didn't get out right away as I wanted to finish the conversation. 
Dos waited patiently in the grass next to the car.

When I still didn't get out, she jumped on top of the car and over the roof 
where she proceeded to paw at me through my front window, then tried 
bringing her arm around into my window to get my attention.

Next she tried to get off the car by climbing back up the window but she 
couldn't find anything to latch onto, so she kept sliding down the window. 
She'd climb and slide, climb and slide.

This went on for a minute or two until I got out, laughing heartily, and 
helped her down. She walked away rather haughtily that I had caught her 
embarassing maneuver.

Now every time I take too long to get out of the car, she jumps on my hood 
and stares at me until I get out?but she won't climb up the window again.

Last Laugh

Randy went into a police station and put a dead cat on the counter. 
"Somebody threw this into my front yard," he complained.

"Okay, sir," said the officer,"You come back in six months and if no one's 
claimed it, you get to keep it."
