Gone CAT fishing
This has been a horrific and interresting morning. I got woke up this morning to Tessa screaming "The cat is stuck on the fishing pole!". I sat strait up and ran to the back porch where we had the fishing poles. There my kitten was wrilling around with a hook stuck in his mouth. now let me explain about this hook... it's not any old hook, it is a jig with two, three pronged hooks on it. Anyways I go over and grab the cat and I hold him to keep from pulling on the hook. He gets the other set of hooks in the back of my hand. So I get the hook out of my hand and as soon as I get it out he gets that second set in his paw. so now he is hooked mouth to paw. I get the hook out of his mouth. then th hook that was loose got in my arm. I yell to Tessa to call my dad. She talks to him and he says that he is on his way over, he had to leave work. I couldn't just sit there and wait because the cat and I were in a bit of pain. So with cat in hand, I ran to the neighbor's house. I used to work with my neighbor at PetSmart. Her husband helped get the hook out of my arm and then cut the hooks off the jig so we wouldn't keep getting hooked like before. So now the cat has the 3 pronged hook in his paw and that's it. He then calls his wife and she runs out of work and comes to help too. My parents and my neighbor basically pull in at the same time. Alright so I am holding the cat and we come up with the idea to cut the hooks right after the barb so we could pull out the hooks without ripping the cat's paw up. That idea worked for 2 out of the 3 hooks, the third hook was very deep. I don't know how she did it but my neighbor eventually got that 3rd hook out of his paw. This all happened befor 9:30 this morning. Now we are home and nursing our wounds. This has been a painful and crazy morning.
