She i must have most of the alphabet printed on her feet and legs because she has insisted on standing in the typewriter while this reporter was trying to work. Cats do not always land on their feet. Tuesday she was napping on the desk (where there isn’t room to take a nap) and fell off, head first, into a stoneware crock beside the fireplace. When she regained an upright position and her dignity she let me know she was sure I had pushed her. I only wish I had thought of it. Saturday evening we had com- . pany. The cat decided she was going to stand on the face of one of our guests. When this reporter grabbed the cat (and none too gently) she grabbed back and buried her claws in my shoulder. There is no way to describe what happened next except to say the cat is still walking funny. —o— TILL NEXT week...
