The Cat and the Chambermaid

Author: Lady Jane

Orange (cat)We were traveling across country with our children and our big playful cat who loved to ride in the car. When we arrived at our first designated stop, we found a lovely hotel and checked in. They approved of pets so we booked our suite for a week. It happened that one day while we were out sightseeing a new chambermaid came in to change the linens and clean. She was unaware of our pet occupying the premises and the cat had been asleep in the closet ion the shelf. (One of his favorite things to do was jump out of hidden places and scare us)! Well, he played his favorite game on the unsuspecting chambermaid and jumped out of the closet and startled her. She let out a scream and people came running from all directions to see what happened! The cat was sitting there very complacently watching the havoc he created. Needless to say, we immediately went out and purchased a wicker cat crate for him to sleep in while we were out. No more of his antics to scare the chambermaid!
