Cali story

When Cali was a little kitty I took her to my grandparents house. She went over often since they lived next door to my dad. It was Sunday dinner so the family was there as well as some friends who had also come to lunch. Cali was enjoying all the people. She loved to explore the house and jump up on the hearth, look in the toy box and so forth.

It was the first cold day and my grandparents have a set of gas logs. they turned them on to help keep the front of the house warm since everyone was a bit chilly since we were not used to the cold yet. Cali was running around like usual and jumped on the hearth and then jumped around the grate and into the fire! She jumped out just as fast of course!

Luckily she wasn't any worse for the wear, except for her whiskers which were all curled from the heat. I looked up stuff that said not to trim them but she kept messing with them, trying to bite them so I trimmed the curled ends off for her in the end and she seemed a lot happier. My dad's girlfriend is a nurse and she looked her over. She didn't even burn her paws. Lucky kitty!
