A new way of life – Tea party

"No! I won't do it; you can't make me!" shouted Coop the cat as he was chased around the house by his sister. "But Coop!" Millie called. "You haven't EVER taken part in any of my tea parties because you said you always had homework! Well, you can't use that as an excuse anymore!" That's right; the reason Coop was being chased by his sister was because the inevitable moment had come – a tea party with Millie and Kat.

Honestly, Coop didn't mind having a tea party with Millie because he felt it would be a good time for him and Millie to bond a little; not to mention he would have the time of his life seeing Kat in a dress and baby bonnet (I'm not sure if that's what those hood things are called or not; If I'm wrong, please tell me and I'll correct it) but the reason Coop was currently running from his little sis was because she wanted to put HIM into a dress as well.

After a good half an hour of outrunning his sister, Coop began to get tired. To make sure he wouldn't get caught whilst catching a breather, Coop ran upstairs and into a closet before locking the door (can cats even lock doors? Well, they can in this). However, what Coop didn't notice was that whilst he was resting, his friend Kat was sneaking up behind him so quietly that even with cat hearing Coop couldn't hear her.

"Whoa... that-that was a c-close one" Coop said between breaths. "At least now I won't have to take part in Millie's tea party; even though I won't be able to see Kat in a dress." This comment forced a blush to appear on Kat's darkness covered cheeks. To Coop's surprise, Kat suddenly jumped on him; pinning him to the soft carpet floor.

"Ah! Kat, get off me!" Coop ordered. "No way, Coop" she replied. "If I have to go through a tea party wearing a dress then so do you!" At that moment, Kat revealed a roll of metal wire from behind her back; Coop knew straight away she was planning to handcuff him with it. Upon seeing the roll of metal wire, Coop began to kick and struggle against Kat's grasp but to no avail because before Coop knew it, he couldn't move his hands.

"Come on Kat; don't do this to me!" Coop pleaded as Kat tied a knot of wire around his feet. Kat then simply stood up and unlocked the closet door before opening it and shouting "MILLIE! I'VE GOT HIM!" Seconds later, Millie came running up the stairs; a smile was evident on her face. "Good job, Mrs. Kat" Millie said whilst stoking the purple feline. "If I HAVE to take part in this; can one of you please carry me? I'm a little 'tied up' here" asked Coop with sarcasm dripping from the 'tied up' comment. As Millie left to prepare the tea party, Kat picked the white feline up and carried him bridal style. Whilst Kat walked towards Millie's room with her friend in her arms, Coop glared at her. "I hate you" he said simply.

"Sure Coop; keep telling yourself that" Kat replied, clearly remembering the hugs he thanked her for just a few days earlier.

"Would you like some more tea, Mr. Cat?" Millie asked (see what I did there?) Coop only grunted as a response from his seat at the pink table; around him sat his sister Millie who was dressed as a princess, some of her stuffed toys and Kat, who was dressed as a queen. Despite their costumes, they still laughed at Coop's.

Coop's costume consisted of a gold plastic crown with fake jewels; a red cape with white fur on the edge, a fake gold necklace was hanging from around his neck and he was forced to wear a pair of brown leather boots. Basically, he was dressed as a king. "I think 'ghostly' would love some more tea, Millie!" Kat stated from over the table. Millie was about to pick up the teapot to pour her brother some more tea when Kat held up her paw. "Don't worry Millie, I'll do it."

Kat stood up from her chair and reached over the table to pick up the teapot; Coop watching her closely. As Kat was just at arm's length from Coop's teacup to pour the flavoured drink, she 'tripped' on her dress, causing the teapot to go flying from her hands and onto Coop's crowned white head of hair.

As if on instinct, Coop immediately threw the teapot off his head for Millie to catch and then stared at Kat. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?" he shouted, now looking down on Kat as she was still on the floor. "KAT, YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THAT AS A JOKE BUT THAT WAS THE LAST STRAW!" From the ground, Kat was actually started to feel worried at Coop's ranting. Luckily for her, Millie decided to step in.

"Coop, don't shout at your wife like that!" Millie ordered; a small hint of a smirk at the corners of her mouth. This hint became fully visible when both feline's heads turned to the human's in shock. "WIFE!?" both Coop and Kat shouted in disbelief; Millie only giggled. "Well yeah" she said. "Why do you think you're both a king and queen? I didn't do it just for the heck of it, you know."

For a moment, both felines just stared at Mille with their mouths gapping wide but after a while, Coop's eyes slowly shut as he fell to the floor. "Coop?!" Millie shouted at her brother; clearly worried. After running over to him and checking his pulse, Kat said to Millie that Coop was fine for he had just fainted. When the tea party was cleared up and both cats were pulled out of their costumes, Kat looked over to the cat bed where Millie had laid Coop. As Coop laid flat on his back, Kat thought to herself...

That even though Coop could have his moments of stupidity and anger, Kat had to admit he was by far the cutest cat she had ever met.
