Two-Face
Two-Face was very distressed at being stuck in that tree in her neighbor's yard in rural Jackson, Louisiana. This energetic, nine-month-old kitty had been stuck for one night, and she was desperate to get down and back home. She loudly begged everyone to help her down, but no one seemed to be doing anything. When I arrived, she pleaded with me to help her, but I, too, seemed no more useful than everyone else until I was eventually ready to climb the tree. She was so happy and energized to see me coming up to her that she started walking far out the limb. At first, I thought she was scared, but she was just so energized that she had to do something. She came right back and was there to greet me when I reached her height.
After our easy introductions, she was ready to go home, and she wanted to be sure she didn't miss this ride home. She stepped on my lap before I could get ready for her. As you will hear on the video, the wind that day was very strong and constant, but after she stepped on my lap, the wind strangely calmed down along with her spirit as if they were both somehow connected. I tried to spread the cat bag over my lap and slip it under her, but that wasn't working very well. Fortunately, she stepped back up on the limb for a few seconds and then stepped back down on my lap as I finished spreading the bag under her. I pulled the sides of the bag up around her and took her back down to the ground just as the winds picked up again. I handed her over to Houston who was just as desperate as Two-Face to get her back down and safe at home again. The wind continued to blow outside, but it was, at last, calm and peaceful on the inside.
