This morning Thomas and I are driving home from the grandparents. We exit the Stevenson at First Ave. There is traffic, so it is slow going. We are on that huge overpass, that extends over the highway, going slow enough that in the middle of the bridge Thomas spies this tiny little stripey orange kitty with his back against a column, on the ledge, shivering with terror. He(she) has two choices, jump into traffic far below, or get run over by any one of hundreds of cars just 5 feet away.
Well, with lightening fast Jacobs' action, (and the help of many motorists on the overpass,) kitty was quickly confiscated and tossed into the Jetta. A call to Hinsdale Humane Society proved fruitful as they were able to take in the terrified little thing immediately. (And if you know us, you know we would have SO kept the kitty, except that sushicat is evil to all other cats in the world as she thinks she is a dog. The irony being our dogs are nicer to cats than our cat is.... I digress.)
So, should one have a hankering for Stevie kitty (so named after his/her found locale)he/she is available at Hinsdale Humane Society.
As fate would have it, it is adopt a kitty month in Hinsdale and there are lots of free cat goodies with adoptions.
Since I have not had my own laptop since the 5th grade, I do not know how to attach the picture of said kitty here (well that, and I am too lazy to learn.) If you would like to see the kitty, I can email you a picture.
