The Cat

[kim]

You don't have to like cats to appreciate this one...

A couple was dressed and ready to go out for the evening. They turned

on a

night light, turned on the answering machine, covered their pet parakeet

and

put the cat in the backyard.

They phoned the local cab company and requested a taxi. The taxi

arrived

and the couple opened the front door to leave their house.

The cat they had put out into the yard scooted back into the house.

They didn't want the cat shut in the house because she always tried to

eat

the bird. The wife went out to the taxi while the husband went inside

to get

the cat. The cat ran upstairs, the man in hot pursuit.

Waiting in the cab, the wife didn't want the driver to know the house

would

be empty for the night. She explained to the taxi driver that her

husband

would be out soon "He's just going upstairs to say good-bye to my

mother."

A few minutes later the husband got into the cab. "Sorry I took so

long,"

he said as they drove away. "Stupid witch was hiding under the bed.

Had

to

poke her with a coat hanger to get her to come out! She tried to take

off so

I grabbed her by the neck. Then I had to wrap her in a blanket to keep

her

from scratching me. But it worked. I hauled her fat *ss downstairs and

threw

her out into the backyard!"

The cab driver hit a parked car........
