Clue/Question:  When firefighters rescued the kittens from a tree, they averted a – – –

Answer:  “CAT–ASTROPHE“

(Classic stinky pun!  But, very cute too!  None of the clue words are new, but three of the jumbles appear to be.  The only one I struggled with is the one we’ve had before, “HOYTER”.  No doubt David’s favorite jumble.

The answer letter layout was another fine jumble, which led to a fairly long answer, for a Monday!  Nothing about it was obvious to me.

The cartoon is a fine example of a hook and ladder unit.  I guess there were three in the tree.  9 times out of 10 cats are going to come down from the tree all on their own.  But, firemen are usually glad to accommodate.  Great Monday Jumble.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
