Run kitty Run

OMG you all – I have to share because it was just the funniest thing in a long time!!! (maybe because it was before 5am – but still)

Let me set the stage:
Scene #1: We have had a mouse problem at my house – over the past week and a half – we have trapped three mice. They are not the humane traps – they are the standard - put a piece of cheese in it and hope you don’t set it off yourself – traps. So – I have a few traps set up in the kitchen and the laundry room. The one in the kitchen isn’t rigged right now – I threw a toy for my dog and it set it off – lol!!!

Scene #2: Yesterday, my son brought home a home made wind chime. I love it – it is cool --- really! It is made out of a toilet paper tube roll and has three yarn strings hanging down in different lengths – each string has a metal spoon attached at the bottom. It is cool!
When my son gave it to me last nite – I was ready for bed so I asked him to put it on the dining room table so that we could hang it up, outside, in the morning.

Ok – scene set – now it is 4:35am. What do I hear from the kitchen of my home? Something that sounds like someone going threw my silverware drawer. My husband and I hear it at about the same time and both sit up to see my cat hauling ass into my bedroom and under my bed. My husband gets up and says = “I think your cat found one of the traps – we should have left the door closed”. I run for the bathroom to turn on the light (cuz the bedroom light/fan is set to fan only) and my husband kneels down to find the cat under the bed. In my groggy state – I remember that the trap in the kitchen was not set and the two in the laundry room should not be accessible to the cat because the door should be closed.
The next thing I hear is the cat hissing (she was really pissed) and my husband laughing his ass off! The hissing continues as my husband tries to pull something off the cat. I am now standing on the other side of the bed and my husband stands up, still laughing his ass off, and shows me the culprit === any guesses? Yes indeedy folks – the cat had a piece of my wind chime wrapped around her foot. OMG – I lost it – I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time! We tried to go back to bed – but the alarm went off a few minutes later and we were both laying there giggling – with pictures of the cat screwing with the wind chime, thinking all is cool and having it fall on her or something – lmao!!!
As an added giggle – when I did crawl out of bed and go to start coffee – there was this little trail across the living room floor of the remaining spoons – LOL!!!

I just had to share!!! Have a great Friday!!!
