Out cat just turned up 2,000 miles away!!

[EddieWalker]

Here's the latest update.

My parents don't want the cat because they would have to keep it in indoors until they can make it back out here. I told them that if they do that, it would ruin it for us, as we don't want an indoor cat.

They called the airlines and found two flights to Tyler. One lands at 3:30 pm and the other lands at 8:30pm. The later flight would be better for them since it leaves at noon. Unfortunately, the airport cargo area closes at 6pm and I wouldn't be able to pick up the cat until the next day. The earlier flight leaves at 4am!!!!! It's one and a half hours for them to drive to the airport one way!!!!!!!!!

They are not happy.

Then to really make them wish that they hadn't stole our cat, the airline requires a shot record of the cat. Since it was a stray that we took in, we haven't taken her to the vet yet. So it cost them $90 to get her shots.

They REALLY are not happy.

But I think they learned their lesson. Don't steal the cat!!!!

I'm going to wait for the kids tog home from school, and we'll go to the airport to get Socks then. It should be fun for them.

I still don't know what the flight costs, but I'm not so dumb as to make fun of them for that too until it's a done deal. hahaha

How about your parents find a good home for socks and you and your family can go to your local pound/animal shelter and get a new socks, you would be saving a cat from being euthanized/put to sleep
just an idea

Is that the one that terrified the daylights out of me at the get-to-gether when it jumped into my lap while we were eating??? Just to show that I don't bear a grudge, I'm really glad for the whole family that it's OK.

Hey Frank,

Yes, that's the same cat!! She's in the air now and I expect to pick her up at 4pm this afternoon.

Her adventure continues,

Yeah, that like to jump in the mens "lap" from under the table. Nice sharp kitten claws to!

I hope that cat doesn't come back from the trip in sunglasses and bling all over. That's a well traveled cat man!
