Cat-astrophy!!!!

So, Monday night, like 10pm, I get home from class, I'm all happy I got a good workout and I'm feeling pretty good. I pull into the garage and Mommy is standing looking up at this hole in our wall leading from the garage into the attic. The hole is for our ac ducting cause our ac unit is out in the garage and when the people installed it, we never patched the hole up. Well Mommy and I got tired of the hole so we stapled a couple of old bedsheets up there to keep the cats out of the attic. I know, totally the girl way but hey, it works! So Mom's looking up at the hole and I come over next to her. "What's up?" I ask. She looks at me. "Ashley is stuck in the attic." I sighed and rolled my eyes to the ceiling. Great! So obviously she was able to squeeze under the sheets and get in, but how the sheets are bundled up on the other side she can't get out. I go grab the ladder and climb up next to the ducting and I can hear her meowing and walking on the ducting on the other side. I can't get enough room under the stapled sheets, so I haul the ladder inside and go to the attic door which is at the end of our hallway. I set the ladder up, climb up, pop open the door and turn on the light. I call her and call her, and she doesn't come. So I climb up in the attic and walk as far as I can toward the opposite end of the house, which isn't even halfway, and call her again. About 5min later she shows her little whiskery and insolationy face. I sweet talk to her to get her to come to me and then I grab her scruff, mutter at her, and then hand her down to Mommy who's waiting at the base of the ladder. Poor thing, Mommy not the cat, gets clawed in the shoulder and Ashley gets chucked unceremoniously outside. CATS!!!
