The Cat Household is enjoying story-time once more

Today, Dusty takes his turn at telling a wonderful tale about the basket that came alive.  Here he goes-shhhhhh, listen:

The basket tipped over

“Once upon a time, a long time ago, there was a family of felines, similar to our own little family gathering.  They played and romed through their safe house of pet love and care immensly enjoying their happy moments in time.  But today, something was very different in the feline family.  Something that could mean trouble.  Today, a simple basket, filled with comfy rugs and sheets, seemingly tipped over of it’s own accord.  The family, curious as to the reasoning behind this, began to check out the basket, but something kept reaching out and grabbing at them as they tried to see the cause of the basket’s fall.  No matter how hard they tried, they could not get close enough to discover the cause of this basket seeming to come alive.  They gave up their attempts and sat vigil on the basket, hoping to gain a glimps of the culprit, but none came forth.  In fact, the basket itself began to jump and move along the floor without any help from them.  Fearing a fiend of some sort, the felines decided to pounce on the basket to protect their family from invasion of whatever was inside.  To their surprise, a small gray lump crawled out from under the basket just as they were about to tear the basket to shreds.  The lump, it turns out, was their very own little newbie who was always getting into trouble…..”  At this point the others in the family sighed and began to discuss the story among themselves.  It seems they felt it wasn’t truly a story of long ago because the newbie was sitting beside them chuckling the whole time about how he had fooled them with the basket.  Dusty smiled and curled up to take a well-deserved nap.
