Of course it has to rain

I needed to catch my semi-feral cat, Gizmo. The wife and I discussed what we needed to do, but when it came time to do it, which required one of us, that would be me, to go outside and into the catio to chase him back inside. And the sky had opened up. Now, I have never gone out into the catio in the rain before, so I discovered that part of the roof dumps a lot of rain right where I needed to stand to move a plastic bin out of the way. Then, while I'm trying to chase him inside, what did I discover, a leak in the roof of the catio and got even wetter. Then I took my umbrella to go out front to get another carrier in and for whatever reason, even though I was trying to stay right under the umbrella, I kept getting water down my back. Now, 30 minutes later, the rain has let up some, but I'm pretty wet.

Usually cats do not like to go out when it rains. I am sorry you got soaked.

The catio has a roof, so he didn't get wet. I had to go outside to get onto the catio, so I got wet. I'm sure the cats knew where the leak was, and I know he avoided the worst of it, which I ended up walking into since I was focused on him, not my surroundings.

@LadyDuck some sure seem to, the wife and I knew what Gizmo would do, so we could prepare the trap, it just happened to be poring when we had to spring it.

@ElicBxn Cats are smart, sometimes I think they take pleasure to see us in difficulty.

Should have taken some soap and shampoo with you...

I did stick my head in the sink afterward because my hair was just nasty after getting roof water on it.
