Thursday

who had been camped about 30 feet up a tree for 3 or 4 days. I told him to give the cat a few more days, he will come down when he was ready. My dad was a career Forest Service employee and had spent many hours in the woods as a kid so I asked him "how many cat skeletons have you ever seen up in trees?" The next day the cat was down in time for breakfast.
