Hide, everyone hide! Get deep, get dark, get out of sight!
Yes, the cat carrier has come
out once again and that can mean only one thing, one of the Cat Household is
going on a trip-one that may mean their end.
No one knows which will be chosen and everyone is frightened. They hide under beds, behind furniture, in
closets, and under sinks to avoid notice and capture. Everyone is frightened. Everyone is worried about the others in their
home. Everyone--oh no, here comes the
human. Which will they chose? Which will be sent to the chamber of
horrors? But the carrier is being put
away, what could that mean? Did we miss
something? Everyone come out and be
counted! Oh no, the newbie, though we
get angry with him so often, is missing from our home. What have they done to him? Oh, poor poor Shadow. Will he ever come home?
THE NEXT DAY: Shadow is brought into the home smelling of
funny scents and looking just awful.
What have they done to you, pal?
Are you OK? Shadow clears his
throat and smiles: “I jussss had an
aventurrr. Iz good now.” And he stumbles away to sleep off his
adventure. We may never know the horrors
he has experienced. Poor poor
Shadow.
