Strange Animal Stories

Having dinner with family tonight, I was reminded of several odd animal stories we have shared over the years.  I'll stay away from the gruesome (don't drive with your windows open on the interstate if you are my brother) and the scary (don't pick up a pigmy rattlesnake with your bare hands even if you aren't related to me).  Let's stick with the cute.  We'll stick with kittens.

My brother had to take his dog to the vet.  He loaded him up in the car, and they pulled out of the driveway.  Glancing in his rearview mirror, he noticed a small kitten sitting in the middle of the road looking dazed and confused.  A neighbor driving behind him stopped and honked, so my brother got out of his car, picked up the kitten and walked back to the neighbor. 

"Did this kitten fall out of my car?" he asked the driver.  Having a large dog in his car, my brother and the neighbor agreed that the kitten should be stored in the neighbor's car.  The plan?  My brother would drive and the neighbor would honk if another kitten fell out.  A few more feet down the road and a loud honk emanated from the car behind him.  They did this as one by one the kitten's fell out every few feet.  They had climbed up by the engine to get warm in the not so cold Florida winter. 

When my brother tried to retrieve the kittens from the neighbor's car to deliver them back to their mama, they discovered the kittens had found a new place to climb--under the dashboard in the car.  Eventually kittens and mama were reunited.

Maybe Jade needs a kitten?  On second thought, a witch with a cat is a bit too cliche.  Maybe she can just have a fish with a cat name like my mother's Beta fish...Sylvester. 

Any funny animal stories to share?
  Okay, I am getting back to work on Dreams in the Midst.
