My unbelievable cat story...except it's true....

Several years ago I was up here at my cabin on the lake for the weekend. Saturday morning the dogs woke me up barking wildly at something outside on the lawn not far from the lake. I looked out and it was a black and white animal that seemed to be wandering aimlessly around the yard. At first I thought it was a skunk but soon realized that it was a cat acting very strangely.

I thought it might be injured or have rabies so I went out with a cat carrying case and slowly prodded it into it. I took it to the local humane society and walked up to the reception desk. There were 3 women at this desk. I went up to the woman on the far right and plunked the case down and told her that I had found the cat in my yard and that I was afraid it was sick or injured.

The woman on the far left looked over the desk at the case and screamed "Jezabell!!!" It was her cat. She lived 2 towns over from me and her cat had been gone for 3 days...the cat was BLIND. Somehow this cat had been able to survive in the woods for 3 days and find her way to my cabin. Sometimes life is really stranger than fiction.

Hmmmm.  The Bostonian Drunkard's mother doesn't know much about cats.

13. Go figure! I might not have gone up to the cabin that weekend. I did get a little reward for my efforts later on.When I was trying to figure out what do do with the cat, I called the local police department and spoke the officer on duty who was very helpful. After Jezebell was reunited with her owner, I called the cop and told him what had happened.

About 2 years later I was driving up from Boston and got pulled over for speeding in a little town on the Mass/NH border. Same cop...he had moved to this little town. He gave me a long look, said "Don't I know you? You're the cat lady." He let me go with a warning.

Towns rely on the money that traffic tickets bring in, a good regressive would demand that they be given a ticket.

speaking from experience she left a bit out, he actually said "your the crazy cat lady" and then beat a hasty retreat..

That's amazing!!!111!

But, wait. Just one question; How did the cop recognize her from two <5 minute telephone conversations from 2 years past? Do they have them new-fangled video phones?

The bouncies are getting pretty weak.

you tend to remember the real crazies even if its just a 10 second rant on the phone 10 years ago, so i would give validity to her story its just not for the reasons that she thinks..

Meh, getting out of speeding tickets is easy provided you know two languages. I won't elaborate to much though  :-)

There, fixed to show the actual quote.
Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

You apparently don't remember that cops were using 2-way wrist TVs way back in the 1960s.

Sorry, Gobucks. But I was never a Dick Tracy fan.

Still, all in all, perhaps the cop recalled the whiney, crackling voice that has obviously been haunting his dreams for the last 2 years.

I believe this storey for the reason that some really weird storeys pop up from time to time.  Some call them coincides and others life's Great Mysteries.

Some odd stuff are obviously Urban Tales, but then there are the really freaky things with little explanation.

The one that freaks me out is the Boston fire that took the life of an infant.   All gone, burnt up, no remains.   The infant had a very odd birthmark on her face, not really bold but enough to see, it resembled the State of Texas.

20 years later the mother in another State ran into a young woman at the airport and as flights were delayed for and hour or so noticed that she could see under the makeup of the young girl a slight birthmark that also resembled Texas.   

They began to talk and the woman found that the girls parents had the same name as her neighbors when the building was burnt. The neighbors were in mid forty's and trying to adopt a child and things were not going well for them.   Coincidence ??????

Strange stuff happen everyday to all of us if we pay attention, random shit tends to come together for some of us.

Latest Coincidence was a man and his family vacationing in Hawaii, a waiter offered to take a family picture of them and in one picture got into the photo shot.   Later when talking the man and the waiter found they came from the same area in Mass.     Just a hop and a jump there, both men were brothers separated at birth and both had been looking for the other for 35 years------It took a shot and a beer to bring them together, half a world apart.

Amazing world we live in, some thing are improbable and when they happen we wonder if this was a Coincidence--or a gift from GOD.
