Yep! Many years ago. My Dad still tells the story of his first real "date" with her. He came up to my Grandparents house and rang the bell, my mom answered the door and the cat took advantage of the opportunity of the screen door being open and escaped out and ran down the walk.
MY mom suddenly yelled out "STOP RIGHT THERE!" 'cause he wasn't allowed outside and the poor cat just froze right there in a catatonic state! My dad said he had never heard anything so loud come out of a human being ever in his life! (My mom could really project...)
My mom just walked down and picked the cat up, still frozen in a running position and carried it back into the house, stiff as a board. He said it took about 10 minutes to bring the cat out of it!
I learned very early in life not to get my mom too upset...
