    We had a cat that walked out on a utility wire of some sort (probably a thick one) and my mom had to find something he could walk down since he was too far out to go backwards and too high up to jump down. It’s amazing nobody got electrocuted. He was probably stalking a bird so maybe that’s why Woodstock and his pals want Snoopy there.
