I pulled into the parking lot of my walking place this morning, popped open the trunk and pulled the stroller out. As I began to open it up, I noticed some fur.

What the hell is that?

IT WAS A CAT. There was a cat sleeping in the stroller.

How long had it been there? Oh, since that last time I had the trunk open, which was YESTERDAY when Dave and I unloaded some groceries.

Stupid cat.

Don’t worry. The dumbass is fine. He’s pretty mellow to begin with. He usually spends his time laying around like the ludes just kicked in, anyway. I actually had to WAKE HIM UP to get him out of the stroller and into the car for the ride home, which he spent in my lap. SLEEPING. I’m not convinced he’s aware that he spent the night in the trunk. I’m not sure this cat knows he’s a living thing. In fact, I’m kind of curious about how he slipped in there in the first place as I don’t think I’ve ever seen the cat propel himself of his own accord.

Yet, there he was. The perfect excuse NOT to walk today. And by no means is that any kind of confession.

    you always give me a good laugh. cats just really live their life the way THEY want to. leaving it a complete mystery to us people folk.

    Nice. Be happy though. I have one cat with something akin to autism spectrum disorder and another that’s stupid and eats like there are 3 of her.

    OMG! That is SO funny. Yet another reason I want a fat, male cat.

    You said it!

    Ha ha.

    Have you ever seen the Chevy Chase movie Funny Farm? This cat of ours is just like Yellow Dog, except that he’s a cat.

    You could have this one. Or two. Or three! Seriously. I have them to give away.

    That is hilarious. Poor guy think’s he’s hibernating.

    Hahaha! Cat’s are so strange. So, did you take him right home? Cuz I would have put him back in the trunk and went about my errands. And then prayed I didn’t forget him by the time I made it home.

    Reminds me the stories of cats found under the hood or under the car miles away from home.

  10. Leslie on January 23, 2009 11:11 pm

    He must. Yesterday when I popped open the trunk to get some things out, he tried to jump in again! Gah!

  11. Leslie on January 23, 2009 11:13 pm

    I drove him right home. I felt all bad and guilty and worried that he’d be psychologically damaged or something. Dumb cat. Even after all that, he still tries to jump in the trunk when I open it.

  12. Leslie on January 23, 2009 11:15 pm

    I’m just glad I found him at all!

    I found our cat in the fridge once. The cat was fine but we had a big debate that day about how much of the food in the fridge was still edible.

    And yes, I am only just now getting around to reading the 29 mommy’s place posts in my feed reader…. so sorry.

  14. Angela on January 25, 2009 11:21 pm

    OMG! I’m glad you found him… lol.

  15. Leslie on January 26, 2009 1:00 am

    The fridge? Hehe. This is why cats are furry and cute – so we’ll put up with their silliness.

    That’s okay that you’re just now getting around to reading my posts. I’m just glad you’re reading them!

  16. Leslie on January 26, 2009 1:02 am

    Me, too! My first reaction when I saw the fur and no movement was, “Oh no, he’s DEAD.” Thank goodness he was just sleeping. Dumb old cat.

  17. Damselfly on January 26, 2009 11:01 pm

    Ohmygosh! Silly cat. Maybe he really is on ludes.

  18. Leslie on January 27, 2009 12:55 am

    I think he’s got to be on something. Or part of his brain must be missing.

    [...] Even the fucker* that found himself stuck in the car. Again. [...]
