Yesterday Harri Roadcat definitely earned her keep.

It was a rough day for us - basically a 27 hour day with just one short
catnap in the middle. Very stressful with lots of problems, and due to
various causes we were only able to get in one short kitten walk during
that day. I promised Harri that when we shut down for the night I'd be
sure that she got a good kitten walk.

We were nearing the end of our day as I got on the freeway about 11:45
PM. After we had travelled just a couple of miles, a big pickup pulling
one of those trailers of the sort they haul race cars in lost his
trailer on the freeway. The trailer ended up flipping end over end and
crashing into the freeway just about a foot and half from us. If it had
hit our truck I have no doubt that it would have killed Harri and me
instantly.

Seeing this huge piece of metal slam into the road right next to us of
course scared me spitless. I was clutching the steering wheel in a death
grip, arms locked rigid, so scared I couldn't even think what to do
next. Harri cat came to the rescue! She climbed up in my arms and
started grooming my beard and mustache. She gave me the most intense
grooming I've ever experienced. With a tiny sweet little kitten grooming
me and purring right in my face I had no choice but to relax.

I got us to the truck stop and found a dcent parking place, then the
very first thing I did was take little baby kitty for her dark walk.
After calming me down so quickly and efficiently, she deserved a nice
fun walk.
