Miss Fluffy and the Unfortunate Power Scooter Incident

Miss Fluffy (shortly before the "Incident".)
If your rotund cat is anything like our precious Miss Fluffy, power mobility and low out of pocket expense are critically important. When it comes to helping your widening feline get around the house with dignity, the Cat Scooter is purrfect!  We were so happy to discover Scooter's Scooter Store because of Scooter's commitment to charging Uncle Sam for every last possible cent.  Alas, cats are frequently not covered by Medicare, and this, we learned, was our sad situation.  

After much saving, coupon clipping, and canned cat food dinners (salmon and tuna), we managed to save the required $199.99 for the Deluxe Cat Scooter.  We were so excited when it arrived.  In vain we tried to get Miss Fluffy excited, but she would not be be budged from her cat bed.  We finally used rubber bands to carefully attach her to her brand new power scooter.  She, however, was not pleased.

What happened next all transpired so quickly that it's hard to recount exactly what happened--especially since I was not actually present at the time.  As I understand it, Miss. Fluffy tried to pursue a bird on the second floor and ended up sailing through an open window in her new power scooter.  The cat was a total loss, but we were able to salvage her power scooter.  It's available now for a reduced price!  (Please, not for use with hamsters!)
