Have you ever tried to catch a cat?

No, no, not your own cat in your home. A feral cat that hates you…

I tried today. It was wicked. This litte beast was quick, agile, truly a worthy opponent! It all started when my boss asked me to go and feed the cats in our quarantine building. The first three let me do what I had to do without problem. Then, the fourth cat. I named him Bullet Bill, but I don’t think it’ll stick. When I opened his cage to get his water bowl he bolted. Very fast indeed! He took up shelter in a small stack of cinder blocks. I went and asked what I should do. Long story short, there I sat, poised and on the ready with my welders gloves, “The Pole”, and a water hose. I made to flush him out with the hose when he flew at my face. I made like Neo and took chase.

For the next ten minutes I chased this cat back and fourth over the kennels, which for some genius reason have a cat run on top with no way for a human to reach.

Finally luck joined me in my battle when Bullet Bill tried to run across the AC pipe running along the ceiling. I then gently coaxed him down (blasted with water hose). He ran into one of the kennels where I was able to capture this beast and return to my daily duties.
