READ THE TRADING POST
DALLAS, PENNSYLVANIA
{
From—
Pillar To Post...
by HIX
For the first quarter of a mile the kittens travelled quietly in
their corrugated carton. And after that, there was sheer pande-
monium,
The black kitten with the white bib stuck his head through
the lid, looking like something a conjuror might have dreamed up,
all head and no body, something done with mirrors.
The four sections of the lid, guaranteed to stay closed if properly
meshed, opened in the middle enough to release a slinky black and
white body. 3
The body leaped nimbly to the back of the front seat and started
to purr. The tail, under the impact of a sudden curve, lashed across
my face, and white whiskers tickled my chin. (This takes an acrobatic
kitten on a merry-go-round, first the tail and then the whiskers.)
The corrugated carton vibrated again, and out came another
head, grey this time. The head gave tongue, a plaintive wail that
mentioned being stuck in a box.
The mistake that Willie had made, prior to coming aboard, was
to gobble one last sandwich, whereas the small black kitten had con-
tented itself with a modest lap or two of milk, and no solids.
This dieting regime had rendered it lithe and supple, able to skin
through a small aperture.
Willie the Glutton discontented himself by remaining inside the
carton until the normal processes of digestion had taken care of the
surplus poundage, then out he came like a cork out of a champagne
bottle.
From then on, there came unexpected whifflings in my ear, and
burrowing of kittens determined to establish a free hold on my lap
under the steering wheel.
They also said they would like to get out now, the sight of cars
whizzing by was entirely too traumatic an experience. :
I said, “Well, you wouldn’t stay in your nice safe box where
you would not have seen the headlights. Make do with what you've
got. At least, you're not walking.” 3 :
To a suggestion that when you've got to go, you've got to go,
I mentioned that there was a newspaper on the floor, and that in
an emergency that would have to do. One thing for sure, the car
was not about to stop on the crowded highway, to drop off two kit-
tens for even the briefest of strolls in the bushes. :
Recognizing authority when they heard it, the kittens calmed
down and went to sleep, wrapped in each other’s paws, and there
was a dense silence.
The silence lasted for one hundred miles, a blessedly long catnap
induced by the steady humming of the car, the comfort induced by
* warmth and seclusion, and a surrender to the inevitable.
The catnap lasted until the car turned into the home driveway.
At this point, they said they hadn't had their sleep out, please
go away. : i
There was even time to take the suitcase into the house and
turn on the lights before the pair yawned and stretched, and con-
sented to drift out of the car on silent padded paws.
I had said, before leaving Virginia, “If there’s one thing I won't
have, it’s a cat that gets up on the table, so these kittens are going
to learn fast.”
Have you ever noticed that no matter what elegant sleeping
quarters you provide for a cat, it is not about to adopt those quar-
ters? A dog will curl up docilely in a basket, but a cat likes to sleep
“high, out of drafts, and looking down upon the world with condes-
cension.
So . . . the nice, warm, padded box with the small blanket in
it which was intended for sleeping quarters, was strangely vacant
in the morning. ’ :
And the kittens, very happy, were curled side by side on a
pillow which I had dropped casually on the kitchen table the night
before. ba
So now let's start all over again: “If there's one thing I can’t
stand, it’s a cat that gets on the table, so these kitténs are going to
learn fast.”
The two kittens, very lively after their journey came down off
the table in a beautifully feline arc, wove around my ankles and
suggested breakfast.
