An understandable misunderstanding

The St. Bernard Parish residents were rightly concerned that the animal running through the alley was too weird for words -- some beast escaped from Adubon or a Loyola science lab experiment gone terribly wrong -- not a beloved $3,500 cat that flew first class from California to MSY.

In defense of her husband, Clara said they "shooed" the cat, not "shooted" the cat. On further consideration, what she meant to say was they eschewed the cat, but under direct questioning she explain that, no, they "achooed" at the cat, because they're allergic.
