Clearly the prankster who "served" Ed T really got his goat. He left before he learned that the Mudcat Tavern fare is both free and wide-ranging. Salmon is easy, and there is still some smoked salmon that Sage dropped off in the opening posts.

Sage had hoped that the air displaced by the falling tree would push aside any small animals on the floor in the tavern, but apparently this wasn't the case. Reaching deep into the dense branches, she is able to grasp a soft furry small creature and slowly pull it outward, into the light. But wait, this isn't at domestic house cat, this isn't a barnyard duck, this is a Washington State bobcat that was sleeping in the safety of the tree when it was cut!
