Had a funny scene with a cat myself the other week. I was house-sitting (or rather cat-sitting; she has one and a half of them, a 'mature' one and a kitten) for Shell while she was away down South for the week. Said kitten, Misty, decided she was going to jump onto the neighbour's fence and was preparing to hop into his garden. So I crept over with the intention of either grabbing hold of her in some way, or at least discouraging her. It all happened so fast, it was one of those one in a billion happenings that you just couldn't plan. The very instant my hand - it was my left hand, as well - flashed out to stop her was the instant she chose to make her leap. So out of pure instinct, I grabbed hold of the only thing I could, which just happened to be her tail. So there I am, hauling a totally bemused, hissing, spitting, upside-down furball by the tail, out of midair and back over the fence. She wasn't hurt, she weighs next to nothing; she was just surprised and embarrassed.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
