while i've been working on a program at the computer in my old room at my mom's house, i've been able to watch jessie's adventures through the open window:

• chase squirrel up tree
• get stuck in tree
• pace back and forth on branch of tree for about 5 mins, tail lashing angrily
• consider climbing higher up tree

after awhile ricardo took pity & went out to save her. he pulled the branch she was standing on (pine branches are flexible!) down low enough for her to have an easy jump to the ground.

she scratched him, jumped off, and bounded over to the door, while he followed more slowly, muttering.

how can you not love cats? they are so evil!

i love my family.
