A/N-This chapter is based off the episode, 'Mr. Bailey', the ladies were starting a job for a old lady when she suddenly died and Mr. Bailey, her cat, was her heir.
Joe Hale, a local pharmacist eventually took the cat in and this chapter tells the 'tale' of what happened later.
Shortly after taking Mr. Bailey in, Joe Hale and his wife took their 4 cats in the RV and went on vacation to the Grand Canyon. And it was a hard, long trip but when they got there and checked in where they were staying at a campground near the Canyon, both Joe and his wife got out to stretch their legs and they let all the cats out and being cats, they were exploring the land of place which was mostly rocks, tumbleweeds and cactus's.
Mr. Bailey decided the place was his without anybody telling him otherwise so he went over to a flat rock and laid down and let the sun warm his furry body. He looked so majestic laying in the sun that when the owner of the place saw it, instead of shooing the cat off, he got his camera out and took a quick picture then after that...history was made.
The owner loved the picture so much that he got it published on a visitor's pamphlet and then he was noticed again in Hollywood, he did a star's cat role in a movie with the latest star then he did a cat's calendar!
When he finally got back to Atlanta, a parade was given in Mr. Bailey's honor and Joe Hale and his wife were able to retire in comfort, they dearly loved Mrs. Whitehead's cat but they knew if it wasn't for him, they could not afford to retire!
Six months later when Mr. Bailey finally passed on...he had a grand pet funeral that Atlanta had never seen! Mr. Bailey had a special cat's meow that was all his own.
