Some of you may remember Roy Rogers, a cowboy movie star who was popular in the 1940’s and 50’s. On his way br train from Chicago to Chattanooga, Tennessee to make a personal appearance at the premier of one of his movies, he had with him a new pair of cowboy boots. He was not wearing them, but had them by his seat on the floor.. Somehow a cat had boarded the train along the route. The conductor and other train employees were desperately trying to catch it. Once in the car with Roy Rogers the cat grabbed Roy’s new boots and ran to another passenger car. The conductor took off in hot pursuit after the cat. After about an hour, the conductor returned to Roy Roger’s seat with the cat in hand and said, “Pardon me Roy in this the cat that chewed your new shoes?”
