Kitten Capers
My friend, Sandra Jenkins, sent me this story; she knows how much I love cats.

From Chicken Soup for the Soul: ;”> Kitten Capers From Chicken Soup for the Soul : What I Learned from the Cat

An ordinary kitten will ask more questions than any five-year-old.
~Carl Van Vechten
I got a kitty recently. A cuddly bundle of joy and delight who is always endeavoring to figure out the world around her. She is constantly reminding me of the awkward but endearing quality of learning, and of the play and bizarreness of the world.
Yesterday she put her head in a small backpack sitting on a chair. Sticking her face in the outside pocket, she sniffed around to discover leftover cucumber slices from my picnic lunch. At first with interest, and then with vigor, she was stuffing her head and then her whole upper body into the pocket to make sure she hadn’t missed anything.
But before long, having that curiosity satisfied, she sat up ready to move on to another adventure. In one zesty move she jumped off the chair — hooking one of her little back legs on the backpack strap on the way down. Suddenly, what she thought was a harmless inanimate object with some boring human food was a fierce and attacking animal, right on her tail! Onto the floor and around and around the LIVE and wild backpack was chasing her.
