1. Some folks can't help themselves

when they see animals in need.

Went to our small neighborhood supermarket yesterday - the owner filled me in on their missing cat. They are house sitting for her in laws and took their cat with them. Well the cat is one clumsy female who apparently could only find her bearings through one window. She disappeared for almost a week and she and her husband spent hours searching for her. They found her on Friday and the drama of coaxing her with food then getting her through a small space had about four of us captivated for some time. The best part was that when they got her inside she started making noises which they interpreted as 'what took you two so long'?

There's something naturally good about folks who take care of animals in need.
