I was wrong

The cat could get back up in the chimney. And she did. I don't know how - I was SURE she was blocked out because I:

1. Closed the flue
2. Blocked off the fireplace opening with a baby gate
3. Covered the baby gate with a card table
4. Secured it all with two heavy boxes of books

Yet, after searching the whole house for her, wondering where in the world she could possibly be now, I pulled away all the barriers and looked up to find her little furry face looking down at me.

*I* think someone is playing a joke on me and came into the house and let her back up and then put everything back. My husband of course thinks I'm crazy. I think maybe I am.
