Chapter 4

It had been all night long, and they still hadn't come. I had fallen asleep, ignoring the cats gathering below her to discuss me. I sighed and opened my eyes.

The twolegs that were here yesterday had come in, given them some food, and done some other stuff. Now a grown up twoleg came in, followed by two twoleg

kits that immediately ran over to the case. They started screaming something to their mother and pointing at me, slamming the glass with their weird, furless

paws. I stood up, startled and bared my teeth at them, they didn't do anything though. Their mother came over and I thought Good, now tell your kits to stop

it! But instead she just put her long paws around them and smiled at me. She told the other twolegs something, and in a couple seconds a red furred twoleg

came back, picked me up, and brought me outside. At first my instinct was to jump down and run away, or hurt the kits, but then I realized that this was my

chance. I purred and rubbed against his leg, but I felt horrible about it. The twoleg kit picked me up and stared at me. I licked his face and he screeched and

then giggled so loud it felt my eardrums would burst, but I forced myself to sheath my claws. He looked up at his mother with pleading eyes and she nodded. I

sighed in relief. The other female kit started trying to grab me and the male one started screaming and crying. The female kit won though, and looked at my

face so close I couldn't breathe. Then the other one tried grabbing my back, and soon it was like tug-of-war. I yowled and they dropped me, startled. I used

my tail to fall on my feet, though, and stifled a growl. The mother scolded them and we walked over to a ledge-thing and the twoleg kits kept petting my fur

the wrong way and way too hard, and they kept dropping me, shaking me, and hitting me on stuff. Finally it was over and the mother picked me up and we

walked outside. I waited for just the right moment but it never came. The twoleg mother held on to me really, really tight and I couldn't wiggle out. I gasped

as I saw the cats come around the corner and race for me. I yowled and tried to wiggle out more. The twoleg shoved me in the monster, got in its belly,

closed it, and again I heard the rumble start.
