Taming of the Shrew...Catching up Part I

I was trying to put finishing touches on my lesson I was teaching this morning at church. I noticed Steve (our third cat) was staring at a blanket on the floor. That usually means we have an uninvited visitor. I moved the blanket to see this furry little shrew scurry off underneath the TV stand. I moved the TV stand only to have him zoom over to the stairs and behind the carpet and into a hole. I sat back down and no more than 3 minutes later he is back out running across floor. I grab Connor's firefighting gloves and go chasing after him again…to the blanket, then the TV stand, then the stairs, and the hole…OH RATS. Steve is sitting on the stairs watching me. When the little stinker shot out of their again – I said Steve – have at him…

Steve failed and I had to go after him on my hands and knees across the floor finally nabbing him.

I went to throw him out the back door but Steve was sitting in the window where we put the air conditioner… So I should him what he could have had if he would have been a little quicker
