"This winter will be colder than the last one" were saying often on the TV news in the first week of December. The people had every reason to think like that-the previous winter was definitely softer than this.
In one night a Queen was walking down a street, which ended with a big junkyard. There weren't any people out at that time and the Queen was all alone in the dark. The female cat was cold although her coat with tiger stripes and leopard spots, she was hoping to get sooner to that junkyard. But the cold wasn't the only thing that was bothering her-the cat was also scared. She knew that there were other risks for a single feline in a time like this-rats, dogs and some cats, evil cats, were 'working' together. Some wanted safety, other wanted only power. The ones that wanted to be safe just joined the ones that wanted power and that way the number of the 'workers' was growing.
Suddenly the Queen heard a loud 'CRASH' and saw three cats, chased by a Pollicle. It looked like that two of the cats were twins-a brother and a sister; they seemed nearly six months old. The siblings had white, black and orange striped fur. The Tom, that ran beside them, was a white, orange and brown tabby and he looked a year older than the twins.
"Quick, over here!" shouted the Queen to the other three felines." Hide in here!" she pointed to the junkyard.
Than the three cats ran where they were told, followed by the tiger Queen and parts of the second later a gate slammed under the mad Pollicles' nose.
"Thank you very much, madam um…" spoke the older Tom after he gasped for breath a several times.
"Jennyanydots" said the female cat. "And your name is…?"
"Dezwin, madam. And those are my little brother and sister-Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer."
"We ain't little!" protested the kittens in one voice.
"Sure you're not." said their older brother.
"Why dears, you look awful" remarked Jennyanydots. "You weren't eating a lot did you?"
"No, madam, we have not. Could you be so kind and show us where we can find some food?" asked Dezwin.
"Oh, Dez, we were only getting better and better at stealing hot dogs and stuff." said with pity Rumpleteazer.
"Yeah, Dezi, Teazer is right. Very sorry miss Jenny…any…something, but me and me sis are going to leave nraoowww…!" continued Mungojerrie when Dezwin stopped his brothers' speech by putting a paw on Jerries' mouth.
"You aren't going anywhere! Teazer, Jerrie, apologize to miss Jennyanydots AND you two aren't going to steal any hot dogs from that man." told the twins their older brother.
"Please, dear, call me only Jenny. Come on, I will show you where the food is. It's just a few rats-nothing special; we were just going to hunt more for the kittens the next morning." said Jenny.
"'We'? What do you mean by 'we'?" asked the tabby Tom.
"Yes, we-me and some other adults from the Jellicle Tribe." answered the Queen.
"Excuse me, but did you said that you are from the Jellicle Tribe?" the Queen gave Dezwin a nod. "Oh, no!...Jerrie, Teazer, come on! Quickly, we have to get out of here or…" and the Tom ran outside the Junkyard with his brother and sister after him.
"Wait! You will be in…"shouted Jenny after them, but it was too late"…danger out there."
They ran and ran, and ran out in the darkness, in the cold, with a huge Pollicle on their tails.
