So he kept going. He worked hard. He put his heart and mind and soul into it. There was an opening for a position half a rung higher than he already was.

If I had only known kittens can climb drapes, perch on top of a traverse rod, and then screech like some femme fatale in a low budget horror flick to be rescued. That a kitten sounds like a herd of buffalo running on hardwood floors in the middle of the night.
