   Beanpie, my Black Cat. 
He was 
still a very small kitty. Just as cute as a button. He was 2.5 months 
old. I took him to pet smart to be weighed, as he was in need of milk, 
and food, and I wanted to give him adequate portions. So the store clerk
 took him to the back where the scale was. The scale was huge, big 
enough for a St. Bernard, but it was calibrated so that it could 
properly weigh Beanpie. OK, so he was pretty good about that old 
chestnut. The drama came when he got off the scale, he got so excited 
seeing the birdcages, smelling hamsters, and such. I had to keep him 
from jumping out of my arms, I rushed to my car. Sat in the front seat 
with him. He was still antsy, so I turned him loose. Do you know he 
climbed into my dashboard, from underneath the steering wheel? OMG, I 
tried to catch him, by his tail, he just kept going. He stayed inside 
that dashboard for 5 hours, I had to drive home thinking that the 
mechanics of the steering wheel were ripping him to shreads. 
Ocassionally, he'd meow. I felt absolutely horrible like I was killing 
him. I called the fire dept, all they said was "we can smash the 
dashboard for you". I was like, ssppptaaaah! I think not, period. Gone 
are the days of big strong firemen rescueing helpless kitties outa' 
trees, go figure. 
So I went 
outside, got upside down in my car feet up to the roof, head underneath 
the dashboard, and took catnip into a straw, and kept spreading, and 
blowing and shooting it out from the straw into the open space, then he 
starting playing with the straw, and he must have started feeling the 
nip coz brother man finally just tumbled out like a little goof. I read 
him the riot act. He came into the house, ate, had a nice poop, and we 
never discussed it again.
