Tilt-a-Whirl
Of course this post would have been more realistic if it were a video. Snuggles got up on the patio porch roof via the potting shed roof that is adjacent to the east roof line of the patio porch. We were enjoying morning coffee when Dennis noticed a shadow playing on the umbrella. Realizing the shadow was a cat, Dennis got out of his chair to make a grab for something! About that time Snuggles began running around the perimeter of the umbrella trying to figure out how to do a feline graceful exist. His weight began the spinning of the umbrella as he went from one segment to another just like a tilt-a-whirl at the fair. Before we could do anything but have our mouths hanging open, the umbrella took the easy way out and tipped over with Snuggles taking the ride down to the patio as if he did it every day. Life with pets can be an action film. No harm no foul for the cat or the umbrella. The base of the umbrella now has a huge rock to assist in its stability.
