Cat Rescue Guy

There is something peculiar going on with the Tallow tree in Laura's backyard in Watson, Louisiana. First, I rescued Laura's cat, Princess, from that tree, and two months later, I got a text message from Laura early in the morning saying that her son's cat, Menue, is now stuck in that tree. Thirty minutes later, however, she let me know that Menue came down on his own.

There is never a guarantee that the cat will be that friendly with me in the tree, but the odds are certainly much better. I certainly understand that many cats have legitimate reasons for not fully trusting me when I climb up to them in the tree, but I still often tend to be a bit naive and expect all cats to welcome me, and it sometimes hurts my feelings when they run away in fear. I try to explain to them, "I'm a good guy." "You can trust me, kitties," but I don...
