Did you see the story about Jumper, the little kitten in Radford that's down to eight lives already in his young life? Drivers called animal control in Montgomery County last Thursday afternoon about a kitten who was wandering on a heavily traveled bridge. As he was about to be apprehended by an animal control officer, the tiny orange tabby decided he wasn't going to taken alive and dived off the US 11 bridge onto a tennis court 80 feet below. Dubbed Jumper by the staff at West End Animal Clinic, the little guy suffered only a couple of scratches from his steep leap. Jumper should be released to the Montgomery County Animal Shelter later this week for adoption. After we read about Jumper's big day, my husband jokingly suggested that the New River Valley shelter should stock up on homeless orange tabby kittens, call them all Jumper, and they will all get adopted immediately. Okay, a little unethical, but any idea that gets more homeless kitties a home is a good one to me. Good luck, Jumper. Keep your four paws on the ground, please.
