Hilarious Cat Episodes (1of 2)

     It was back when residents had to furnish their own trash cans. They were easily turned over by animals.  Trash was then scattered everywhere.  Today's trash cans for my subdivision are furnished by the city.  We pay for the service through our taxes.  Getting into one of those sturdy furnished cans is hard for animals to access.  But then, my story is about way back when trash cans were easily accessible.  It brings about my first of two hilarious episodes.                    
    Tiger was an indoor and outdoor cat.  We never had him neutered.  Money was hard to come by then.  It is now too. Neutering was an expense back then that would take away from feeding and clothing my children.  So, Tiger went roaming when outside.  It was hilarious one particular day the children called for Tiger.  Down the street the domestic short-haired cat came.  He was dragging behind him an entire skeleton of a turkey with what meat was left on it.  He dragged it into the front yard and commenced eating.  The dragging it behind him was so- so funny!  It looked bigger than him.  But Tiger had managed to drag it home where he was then safe to eat it.  It left a picture that remains in my mind to this day.  It was so hilarious!
