Sign of the Cat

Cat fur on yelloe sign

I put the tables up and struggled with a 3 foot by 10 foot sheet of plastic that would bend and droop at the worst times. I cleaned the old residue from the surface, gave the entire thing a cleaning and prepped the paint. This was to have a yellow background with red, black and green lettering. I decided to not do the painting in the garage like usual, and do it in the big room where the dust was more under control while the paint dried. The garage is still not rearranged from a long winter of repairs and tracked in mud, so it seemed the best to work in the cleaner area. As I finished the last smoothing roll of the base coat, I thought to myself “I need to close the door between so the cat does not get in here.” I bagged my roller for use for the second side and closed up the paint can and the phone rang. Needless to say, as I talked, I did several other small chores and cleaned up from the painting. I ran some photocopies Jim needed and burned another DVD of photos of the Parelli clinic for a participant. The phone rang again. And again. By now I had decided to ride the bike to the motor bank and to get the mail and as I passed the sign to take the bike out, this is what I found. I was right. That door should be closed to keep the cat out. She has one yellowish paw and no other “signs” of her curiosity except the evidence left at the scene of the crime. She is asleep in her chair now, in a failed attempt at innocence.
