She got up on daughter’s lap and somehow managed to get her upper right front tooth (the pointed one) caught in daughter’s sweater. Knowing the cat like we do we figured she was probably trying to bite a chunk out of daughter’s shoulder. Any how, when the cat tried to jump to the floor she could only go about eight inches because her tooth was caught in the sweater and that is all the farther the sweater would stretch. The cat was just about to panic when daughter got her untangled. Fortunately there was no damage to either party or the sweater. The cat then ran out into the kitchen, climbed on top of the refrigerator and seated herself on the lid of the electric wok. We’ve just about decided we like it better when she stays in the bathroom. —o— HAVE A nice Columbus Day. TILL NEXT week . . .
