UnderDog has nothing on me

Well, that was interesting.

Yesterday, Sue had noticed that there was a cat way up in a tree in the neighbors's backyard. The presence of the neighbor's dog had obviously convinced the kitty that there was safety in altitude. I'd figured that, by the evening, the neighbors would take their dog in and the feline would make a run for it. There was in flawed assumption somewhere in there.

The neighbors were gone for the weekend.

Yeah, the poor cat had spent the cold night in the tree. And it had now been raining. So I grabbed a stepladder, some gloves and a towel, and, with Sue holding the ladder stable, I climbed until I got to the cat's level. I gently stroked it and it willingly perched itself on my shoulder, and stayed there all the way down.
