[Cats] Levitation X 4 (BARBARA LACHANCE)

[Marty Kay]

Oh, Barbara, what a scene you describe!  Absolutely hilarious!  We also 
have one of those radios and when it goes off, we all come unglued! 
Husband, me, cats and dogs almost levitating!  It's always a chore to 
get my blood pressure down afterwards!  But I love your description. 
Maybe one day we'll learn to take the siren w/o too much alarm!  Thanks 
for making my day!  Marty and 8 furpersons
