Twitter-Kat has had a remarkable scare this morning. We heard this ruckus and clattering around on the porch, but opened the door and looked around and didn't see anything. The horses came spooked out of the barn, but we couldn't figure out what it had been. Tweek was out, so I looked for her, figured she and one of the ferals had made the ruckus. Called and looked, couldn't find her anywhere.

So we fuss around outside with ecurbh loading some bad hay I have to take back to the feed store, and he hears something rustling behind a bunch of boards in the barn and a meow. We get a light and shine it back there and there's Tweek, hiding back there by herself, looking a little freaked out. We shine the light around and start moving boards to get her out of there and I find this (below). I swear, her collar is hanging from this big ole branch, just like this, when we found it.

The poor thing was all hung up on that branch! Dragging it around until she ran back behind some of those boards and got ~it~ snagged on a board and she could finally turn around and back out of the collar.

I can't imagine how she managed to do all that. But it hasn't helped her nerves or her blood pressure any. If we wouldn't have had to take the hay back, we wouldn't have even been back there to find her.

It is a good reminder to make sure all collars are loose enough to slide over their heads if they get caught on something.

Tweek, I think will spend the rest of the day relaxing IN the house.

Miss Cat doesn’t hold with collars.

A few times Miss Emily showed up at the door with one leg hung up in her collar and hopping around on 3 legs.

That is most unnerving.

Oh my...poor Tweek! She must have been terrified!

Bad hay, huh? What a drag...

Her eyes do still look a little spooked!
