Gage Street Cat Capers Part 4
The Great Escape II
The birds were driving Shadow crazy! She sat on the screened-in porch and her tail whipped in frustration. So close -- they were so close, and she couldn't reach them.
"Whoa!!!"
Shadow whipped her head to the source of the exclamation to see Inari pushing out a screen from the north side window. Another instant, and she was out the window and outside. Without a second's hesitation, Shadow leapt across the floor and out the window, too. Soon, Squall and Renoa were racing from the house to the porch.
"What's going on here!!!" Nik, the oldest son, exclaimed from the back yard. "What's Shadow doing outside."
Shellie stepped outside as Nik scooped up the little barn cat. "Where did she come from?"
"I have no idea!" Nik responded. "Wait! There's Squall!" He dumped Shadow in his mother's arms and raced after his male cat.
"Hey! Hey, there!" Came a voice from the street.
Shellie glanced towards the sound and saw two neighbors standing on the sidewalk on the other side of the street.
"Are you looking for cats?"
"Yes!" Shellie exclaimed as she jogged around the house.
"They getting out of that window on your porch." The person responded pointing to the north side.
Nik walked around the house, now holding Squall and Renoa.
Shellie grabbed Inari as she tried to bolt passed. "No you don't!" After depositing the four cats back indoors, Shellie and Nik did a kitty head count. "Thank goodness! All accounted for!"
"Let's nail that window down," Nik suggested.
"No, there's a latch on it that I couldn't catch. Maybe you can."
Nik grabbed the hook and forced it into the eye. "There! No more kitty escapes!"
