Here's a "shaggy cat" story!!

A Bushman was lying in bed one night and he heard a cat meeowing and scratching at his door. The cat kept at it all night. The Bushman tried to shoo it away but it came back making the same racket. Eventually, he could stand it no longer, so he got a sack and stuff the cat in it and flung it in the back of his pickup and drove far out into the bush and let the cat out of the sack and left it there.

But a week later he was awakened by the noise of the cat meeowing and scratching at the door. Again he grabbed it and stuffed into a sack and flung it in the back of his pickup and drove even further into the bush. He let the cat and left it there.

Lo! a fortnight later the cat returned and with its meeowing and scratching at the door all night he woke the Bushman who by now was driven to distraction! He grabbed the cat yet again and stuffed in a sack and flung in the back of his pickup. He drove into the bush and this time he went further than he had ever been before. He let the cat out again.

As he got back into his pickup, he suddenly realised that he couldn't remember his way back home. So he waited for a while and then followed the cat back home!
