Dear Teachers of Alex,
Alex was unable to do his homework last night as he spent the better part of the night trying to locate our cat,. who happened to be in our ceiling, and rescuing her.
I am not sure of the above letter would benefit Alex. Here's the story. We are having one of our bathrooms torn apart and redone. We arrived home a little later than usual tonight, as we both were in dire need of hair cuts. I had hardly gotten myself in the house when Alex had already ascertained that Lassie was in the ceiling. I would like to say this is the first time she has had us chasing her in unusual places....but unfortunately we seem to spend a lot of time getting her out of tight places.
A couple of years ago, they were installing new windows and they had removed a floor vent and forgotten to replace it. Lassie was walking around under the floor boards until we finally coaxed her out. Lassie is an indoor cat.....she will grab any opportunity to take a little vacation outside. This almost always ends with her under the deck and an assortment of people laying on each end of the deck trying to chase her out and/or catch her if she comes their way. This summer, she fell out of my upstairs window.....somehow she knocked the screen out and once again we found ourselves congregated on the ground around the deck.
Today, she managed to crawl into a hole in the wall upstairs and onto the ceiling downstairs. Alex was the hero on all counts....hearing her meowing in the ceiling, never giving up until he found her and then patiently and gently coaxing her and getting her out of there.
So....it was basically a typical Monday in the Besio house!!
