Kimchi

Kimchi was not in the mood to entertain visitors. This ten-month-old kitty had been stuck in this stupid tree in Baker, Louisiana for more than two days and had not had a thing to eat in all that time. He was tired, he was hungry, and he was sleep-deprived. Now along comes this strange man intruding on his solitude and acting all friendly and cheerful, and Kimchi was just too grouchy to deal with that. Then that audacious man just plopped himself down on the limb just three or four feet from him and kept on talking. Kimchi had no interest in what he had to say. Although he was on a long limb and could have walked away from the annoying man, he was just too tired to move. He would tolerate the man for a while, but he was not going to be friendly or polite. It wasn't long before he reached the point where he could not tolerate the annoying man any longer, so he stood up, turned his back to the man, took a few steps away, and settled there.

Kimchi's limb was pretty long, and I did not want to let him go any farther away from me, so I decided to put a stop to this right away. Even though he had let me pet him, he was just tolerating it, and I was not making much progress making a friend here. I prepared the cat bag on my arm and reached out to grab him by the scruff. He was too tired to resist, and I pulled the cat bag over him and secured him inside. I took him back down to the ground and returned him to his family. He is doing just fine, and he is in a much better mood now.
