Cat On The Roof

We're all mad here!

 So all day I have been hearing a cat cry in distress.  The noise was coming from the house across the way, and I went over there three times today and searched for the cat.  Tonight I was sitting outside thinking about  my dead cats and the obvious distress of the cat over there was bothering me a great deal.  I go back over and looked around, when, finally, I cast my eyes heavenward and, sure enough, there is a cat with a collar in a hav-a-heart trap on the roof.  It had been there all day in our horrible wet heat and in the sun.  I called the cops and they said they would have someone right out.  After twenty minutes, they called me back and said they could not legally do anything.  I said if they did not I would, jail or no jail.  The dispatcher said if I was comfortable with that go ahead.   I hung up and got a ladder and got the cat down.  It was a young tabby that looked just like my cat Stonewall Jackson.  He was purring away and I took the ladder and went home.  I decided not to disable the trap (that means destroy) and left it like that.  There was a can of cat food in the cage and the people were obviously, I guess obviously, trying to get a raccoon or something.
