~Sleep~

The strange cries woke her from a deep sleep. Worried, she got out of bed and went to the kitchen. Cat sat in the sink, but when Holly tried to pick him up, he

cried out again. Heart racing, she held Cat carefully in her arms and ran upstairs, knocking rapidly on Paul's door.

"Holly, what's wrong?"

"It's Cat." She replied. "I think he's sick. I'm sorry to disturb your sleep, but I'm so worried."

"I understand." Paul scratched Cat's head. "There's a store down the street. I'll see if they have pet medication. Stay here with Cat and I'll be back soon."

Holly kissed him deeply. "I can't thank you enough."
