Father Murphy’s Cat
One day Father Murphy couldn’t find his cat. Once he did, he found it in a tree. The tree was too high for him to climb so he tied a rope to the branch and the other end to his truck.
He began to pull the branch down and was almost done when the rope broke.
The cat went soaring through the air.
He went all through the neighborhood to see if anyone saw it but no one did.
A week later he saw one of his parishoners in the store. She had a bag of cat food. However, she wasn’t a cat person.
Father Murphy asked her about this. She replied that her daughter kept asking her for a cat. The lady said if God gave her a cat she could keep it.
The daughter went outside and knelt down in the yard. Just then a cat came flying towards her.
