Your not going to believe this ....
last night a few of the light buddies come over, we chat, look around, sit by the fire ... and then each of them goes to another place to look at lights. A simple evening with little to do, go to bed early and chill out.
Sounds innocent enough .... just a bunch of light guys doing what light guys do.
James, a light guy from Gainsville. He came over and we meet as well as Al from Roswell we kind of talk the BS and plans and all for about an hour maybe 2. Everybody goes there own way.
11:30 James calls..... He is over at AL's place up in Roswell almost Norcross. Al has a pretty nice setup I was over there the other night. He has a hill for a front yard and lays out a pretty impressive light display. He says when he got over to Al's place he could hear this cat meow ... opens the hood and sure enough a cat is sitting on the engine. He lets it out, but the cat hangs around the truck and then eventually gets stuck up in the spare wheel.
His wife says she is pretty sure she had saw the same cat over here at my place to begin with and are calling me to see what to do. His wife is pretty positive the cat belongs in the Dunn street neighborhood not over in Roswell.
Well 2 things come to mind, one they can't get the cat out and are concerned that forcing it out might traumatize it more, and 2 they are pretty sure it belongs over at Dunn not in Roswell.
So I go over there with tara, a good 30 minute drive, remember the clock ... now it is Midnight, I get a look at the cat ... to me all black cats look alike .. in fact most cats look the same, four feet and failry sharp teeth and claws... but the cat is friendly and by now has calmed down considerably. Now we have to get the Cat out from the truck, these folks want to get back home to Gainsville and it is apparently a cat from our neighborhood.
We call AL, he went to bed as where we should all be. it is his house we are at. I ask if he has some cat food or some food to entice this cat out. He is a dog person not a cat person, so the best we can come up with is a can of tuna,
Got the food, Cat calm, and we set the can of tuna on the ground by the truck, the plan being cat comes out to get the food .. we snatch it up and put it in a carrier and we all can go home ... SO we wait .... and we wait ..... and we wait .... and we wait ....
I am saying to myself this cat is not coming out, he is in a safe place and it aint that bad inside the wheel of this truck. BTW did I forget to mention.. We have a light show going on, and when they got there the music was blasting out in the front and the lights are blinking. Not the most subdued lighting effect one could have to allure a cute little kitty out from underneath a truck.
time to think like a cat ... I get up in a truck looking around in my neighborhood with the lights flashing and music playing and I am hiding out in a nice warm place. .... Life is good ... Next we are traveling along the freeway, and wind is blowing through my hair ... life is not so good. we stop and look at the lights again OK life isn't that bad .... this isn't my neighborhood ... take me back ... but I am not getting out again ...
So we lower the tire, Bill snatches the cat .. and puts it in the carrier... we say our good byes, thank Al for getting out of bed and we get back home ... remember that clock .. it is now just a little before 3 ...
Cats is in the basement where it is warm and out of the weather ... now we have to make sure the cute little flea bag with sharp claws and teeth is supposed to be here ...
