The Misadventures of Rusty the Cat

Rusty has added all kinds of excitement to our household. The other day James and the kids busied themselves putting up the Christmas lights while I documented.

We decided to let Rusty come out and enjoy the weather with us. I went inside for a few minutes and when I came back out James informs me that the cat is stuck in a tree.


Now, he's not just a little way up the tree...no, he is even with Annelise's window on the second floor. Not to worry, James is in the cat rescuing business (reluctantly I might add). He retrieved Rusty pretty quickly and all was well :)


You may think that it ends here...and it did that night. But that darn cat got himself up the same tree just a few days later. Unfortunately for him James was at work so he had two choices: he could sit up there until his knight in shining armor returned or he could figure it out himself. Rusty showed a spark of intelligence 45 minutes into the ordeal and managed to get himself down :)

For the record he has also fallen into the bathtub. I do have pictures, but I won't post them here ('cause my kids are in them). All of this and he has only been with us for about two weeks!

*lol* Rusty is such a silly cat - I hope he's learns how to climb tress (and swim) before too much longer!

maybe Rusty likes baths... and being rescued!
