A visit from Dad

[tvordlj]

Oh dear God, there's a comic strip in the paper this morning, Pickles, that is SO Dad! We had a cat when we were younger and Dad and the cat had a continuous armed truce. It's a legendary feud well known in the family, from having to pay the vet bills ("Million dollar cat") to the cat wanting in and out the door all the time. In fact, the cat used to pick at the screen, or rub against the mailbox which thumped the lid up and down like he was knocking. Sometimes he rubbed against the house and hit the doorbell which leads me to today's comic strip.



and laugh i did, and found myself laughing and crying but mostly laughing. He's up there now *snorking* at the strip i just know it!

I remember it well. Though friends were skeptic (almost typed septic) lol! it happened too often for it to be mere coincidence! !

I'm sure the cat could hear the bell ringing inside and i'm sure he learned to associate it with someone coming to let him in but he mostly just flipped the mailbox lid as i recall.
