The Cat Household has been up all night.....

It started with Tiger, who awoke in a cold sweat after a very horrid dream where he thought the toy skunk had grown to human proportions and was after him.  He spoke to the others about his dream and they all tried their very best to comfort him.  Finally everyone was able to fall back asleep when Mittens began to scream.  He, too, had the dream about the skunk.  All of them did their best to comfort Mittens and everyone finally (for the second time) got back to sleep.  Suddenly all of them were awakened by the pounding of something very heavy on the stairs.  They gathered together in fear and watched the door.  Another pound and a large furry paw came into view.  Then a puff of white and a face with red glowing eyes and terrible breath stepped into the room.  The cats hid beneath the bed and watched with fear as the creature made its way into the room.  He swung his huge tail knocking down furniture and breaking glass.  The cats shivered in their hiding places and waited for the monster to leave the room.  Before long, they awoke and realized it had been another dream brought on by the descriptions of Tiger and Mittens.  However, when they came out from under the bed, sitting there in plain sight, was the skunk toy that had been in the living room when they went to bed...............
