Max the Cat
May 23, 2008 | Uncategorized
Teyla and I decided to walk the long four blocks,and they are LONG to visit Max if we could find him.
To make it longer, Teyla decided we should go AROUND another block. So we turned to the left, and then back to the right, and saw a huge dog in the street. But we spotted the chain that he was tied to, and carefully assessed the matter. Teyla, who is the boss of everything, decided it was safe for us to pass, if we hugged the right side of the street. So, we cautiously did so, and just as we entered the spot that was most dangerous, the dog barked loud and clear, and Teyla and I took off like Cicero’s cat!!
Cicero’s cat was a comic strip that Pop loved, and the cat always was running here and there about something, and Pop took up the saying with all of you kids, (they ran off like Cicero’s cat) and you don’t even remember it, but I do. Anyway, we got out of there pronto.
We found Max lying in the driveway of the woman who feeds him occasionally, and he looked awful. Even more fur is gone from his hind quarters. He ran to us, and rung around and around our legs, and we petted him, and we hugged him, and then we told him we had to go. He followed us for a long way, and then he stopped, and we saw him leave….swallowed up in some bushes….on his way back to his territory where Carmen used to live. So sad.
