Tom falls in the well

April 2nd, 2009

When I was young my cat Tom jumped on top of the well cover in our side lawn. The cover was old and rotted, he fell through. There was a baseball game going on at the time, every kid in the neighborhood was there. The well was in fact third base. We lowered a pail and after many tense moments and a lot of side line coaching Tom frantically scratched his way into the pail. We got him out by some miracle, the pail was tipping threatening to spill him out. I learned some cat care that afternoon. Drying him with a towel, caring for his anxiety. After a poop and a throw up, he got up on wobbly legs and was ok. I wouldn’t be very good at animal rescue, this little event scared me half to death.
