Here is something entirely too funny to keep to ourselves, to NOT share with you.  The video is self-explanatory so I’ll just do the setup…..

We went camping RV’ing and tried something new on this trip….we took Jessie, our cat.  As I have stated in previous musings, most cats don’t travel well.  Ours certainly does not.  Her biggest beef is the travel and she let us know about it, continuously, non-stop the entire way up to the campground.  If we were in the car, she was not happy about it.  The sounds, impressive in volume, were unlike any noise we have ever heard coming out of our cat.  I thought it might have been the turns with their side-to-side motion causing the upset.  Or perhaps the accelerating and braking was the culprit….I may never know.  And in spite of 80% of our trip spent on the freeway with a fairly steady speed, she still let us know how upset she was to be outside the confines of her home.  So maybe that was it….don’t know.

But the good news was, once out of the car and inside the trailer, she was one happy cat.  Tail up.  Nose busy.  Eyes alert.  This is Jessie looking for fun and frivolity.  Looking for something to do.  Some mischief to cause.  Maybe wreak a little havoc.  And, maybe in an effort to prove her Happiness, she was busy the entire time we were there, investigating, hopping up on things, looking out the window(s)….doing all that busy cat-stuff.

And then WE got adventurous and took her outside.  Since Jessie is an “inside cat” we knew this had all the makings of something different, maybe even humorous.  So the collar went on first.  And she was okay with that because we put a collar on her whenever she goes out for fresh air in the back yard.  Then it was the leash.  This was quite a different story…..it seemed to be made of LEAD!  The thing appeared to weigh her down so much she could barely stand up, much less walk.

Happily, I had a camera in hand and recorded the event for all to see.

And now, for your enjoyment, you simply must watch the video…..enjoy!
