Had a rather rude awakening this morning: Jane was outside (we've been getting up around 6 and opening the door so she can sit outside, then going back to bed), and there's a big pile of choke cherry branches out front waiting to be chipped, and Jane must have chased some poor animal into the pile and gotten herself caught on a branch. Maybe it went into her collar or something. Anyway I awoke to this colossal racket coming into the house, then into my room. From my position lying in bed all I could see was branches and leaves going this way and that as the noise headed into the bedroom.
I thought Jane had chased an animal into the bedroom and, okay, I screamed like a little girl. In fact she was scared by having a branch attached to her, and ran into the bedroom because that's her safe spot. The hideous din was caused by her being freaked out and not able to see that well around the branch, so she was bumping into things and her claws were scrambling against the floor. When she finally stopped moving, Georg got the branch off her and then it was all over. Except for my heart palpitations; they haven't stopped yet.
