I love to mess with peoples minds when I have the chance. Today I had the chance to do so once again.
It started at about ten this morning. I was sitting out on the patio reading the paper when I heard a commotion down the street. Kids were crying and people were talking. When I looked I could see them clustered around an opening under a trailer. Curious I wandered down there to find out what the commotion was. They told me a kitten had gotten free and ran under the trailer. Well that was different. I wandered around the trailer checking the skirting to make sure there was no other way out then went back to the group. I told the owner of the place to keep an eye on the hole while I went back home to get a few things.
One of the other people there, a know it all who had been offering some completely useless advice, (like setting a box trap baited with hamburger,) asked me what I thought I could do and what I could possibly need from home. I made sure the homeowner saw me wink at him before turning back to the idiot and telling him in my best flat voice that I was going home to get my spear gun. That was of course the best and easiest way to catch a kitten. The guy stood there with his jaw swinging as he tried to think of a reply as I walked away.
Needless to say I didn’t return with the spear gun, instead I returned wearing my jumpsuit and boots. I opened the skirting a little more and crawled under the trailer. It took me a bit but I finally found the kitten hiding behind one of the supports, then it took me even more time to coax it into letting me scratch and pet it. Once I had it calmed down a bit I scooped it and belly crawling one handed made my way back out. The owner of the place and his daughter were extremely happy with me while the idiot stomped away.
