3630.0. "Chimneys? Buy gas..." by FILTON::GLOVER_P (Tangled Mothballs!!?) Wed May 23 1990 09:01
Great having new kittens,so many stories.....
On Sunday I was in the garden pottering around when a little voice
was heard outa the window.." Phil,I've lost Tab..." ( She's not
had a good time with the kitten so far..) I thought,how can you
lose a kitten in a house? Should have remembered I suppose.
When I get into the house everything seems normal,the boys are sleeping
on the window sill,radios on but it was a bit too quiet thinking
about,no constant meiowing from Tab...
There was no way this critter could have got out so off we went
around the house looking in every obvious hiding place for a kitten,you
know,in handbags,sinks,under duvets,in baths,under baths,you name
in we looked. After 15 mins. I was getting just a bit worried. So
worried in fact that I turned off the washing machine in case she
had got into there. Have you seen the amount of water that comes
out of one of them when you open them before theyve finished?? Anyway,
I sat down for a smoke,contemplating where on earth she could have
gone,when from the fireplace came a soft.." WHUPMH.." She had only
managed to climb up the chimney and spent 10 mins up there.She was
covered in soot but loved everymin of it. I have to leave a guard
around it now to stop repeat performances.
Oh well, such is life,,,:-)
Phil.

| Better introduce her to a bath Phil. I don't think its a good idea
for her to groom that soot off and ingest it.

| Um.... You didn't *really* open the washing machine when it was
full of water did you?!?!? You must love those little kittens
already! It doesn't take long ;-)

Sounds like she's going to fit in real well with the
threesome there Phil! Mischievous little one! =)

| I can understand the dilemma.. When we got "Stormy", we scheduled a
visit to the Vet to have her checked out...and the day of the
appointment my wife had an appointment in another town for a different
reason so I ended up with "the duty." The morning of the appointment
all 4 cats were bouncing around as usual, so I thought.."I'll grab her
and pop her into the carrier when we're ready to go.."
Soooo.....about 20 minutes before departure time, I started to look
for her..expecting her to be in one of her favorite sleeping perches...
No "Stormy" to be found... I searched the house..no "Stormy"!! Then I
REALLY SEARCHED the house...digging into cupboards, under the sink, in
the washing machine, the dryer..even looked in the refrigerator...NO
"STORMY"!! Called the office where Julie had the
appointment...frantic...asked here if she was SURE that "Stormy" hadn't
"flown-the-coop" sometime during the morning...and was assured that she
was still IN the house when she left...
I was REALLY getting stressed out by this time, and the puzzled looks
on the faces of the other three feline-feenom's(or what I imagined weer
puzzled looks anyway..) didn't help my disposition any...
So after almost destroying the house and everything in it for another
hour...after cancelling the appointment with the Vet cause I couldn't
locate the patient...I spied a cardboard Cat-Carrier that we had in the
corner of one of the upstairs bedrooms...(I had passed this thing by
aobut 10 times because it was CLOSED!)...and when I opened it, there
she was....and when I said in a rather exasperated voice "WHY are you
hiding?? Why didn't you come when I called??" whereupon she looked up
with this innocent look on her little face, stretched luxuriously, and
answered me in PERFECT French: "Moi???"

| Maggie used to climb up and hide in the chimney when she was tired of dealing
with the dogs.
That's right, have the sweep in every spring, because it was cheaper than
constantly hasving the carpets cleaned or replaced.
