Ed has a wild cat story

Ed has a wild (literally) cat story, too

     I will never forget our wild cat story during the time we lived in Gillette, WY. I was rushing off to work this one morning when, just as I opened the door to leave, a wild cat screamed in fright and ran past me into the house. I ran back in after it just in time to see it go into the bathroom at the end of the hall. That was good enough for me, so I went down and shut the door ... then never gave the cat another thought. When I got home that afternoon, the kids were still in school, Ed was at work and the cat was gone. Good ... Ed got rid of the him...thanks, Ed.
     Ed comes home from work around 5:30-6 o'clock, still chattering like some fool who had been prac-tically scared to death by a wild cat (screeching like a gut-shot banshee) that landed in his lap as he (Ed) sat in silence and solitude on his throne, reading his morning paper! Thank God Ed was 30 years younger and thank God the cat didn't land in my lap. I cannot imagine what I would have done had that cat come flying down onto my lap from the top of the linen closet . Well, maybe I can ...............
        I've always told anyone (who would listen) that they should never scare old people or fat people; they might have a heart attack!
