Question

The Cat Last week, my neighbor's cat got out of the house and climbed the tree in my backyard. What sounds like a simple situation really turned into quite a fiasco. First, my neighbor climbed the tree. He couldn't reach the cat and was too afraid to come down. I set a can of tuna on a low branch, hoping to lure the cat, but only succeeded in attracting crows. My neighbor hates crows, and he ended up falling from the tree, spraining his ankle. The tuna fell all over him, and the cat hopped down to eat from his lap.For the Love of CatsGeraldine Black doesn't have much money. She doesn't have a fancy house. In fact, she has put off buying a new car for several years. But that doesn't bother Geraldine. She has better things to do with her income. As Loving Paws Shelter's best foster caretaker, she takes in newborn kittens who are too young to be adopted. She takes the kittens into her home and cares for them. She pays for all of their expenses, including medical, out of her own pocket. Geraldine says that helping a living thing is more important than driving a new car. We can all learn a lesson in compassion from this marvelous woman.
