Resuced Cat Lucky !

My wife and I have three cats. This sketch of Lucky was a rescued cat from our back yard. Lucky would cry and cry in the woods behind our house for days. My wife would feed it and it would sleep on the deck and bathed itself in the warm sun. We waited several weeks before my wife felt it was safe enough to capture her. During the course of a week or so, our neighbors dog scared her up a tree. After the dog had left, Lucky - it appeared - was stuck in the tree about 20 feet high. My wife insisted I get a latter and get her down. So I got the latter and tried to approach her. As I climbed up the latter, I could see Lucky was getting a little nervous about me approaching her. As I got about 4' from her, she jumped 20' from the tree to the ground ! Incredible ! She landed in some heavy brush and took off. Close call.

About a few days later, my daughter calls and she says that she was able to pet the cat and that she was adorable. After that, it was over.

We now have three cats, Darko, Lilly (the boss) and Lucky the baby. Lucky had some minor injuries from prey (slight scar on her tail but overall she is a little cautious but she is very friendly and my wife is nuts about her. I guess that is all that matters.
