We'll now find out what they found behind the dumpster in this chapter! By the way quick note, when Oh talks about Lucy he calls her Mimom, like he does in the movie.
I do not own Home and it's characters.
Pig sat purring, looking at Tip and Oh proudly. Next to him lay a brown tabby cat with four small kittens. She looked at them with round and timid eyes. And speaking of her eyes, they were quite unique. One was a bright blue and the other was a deep green. She curled around the kittens, making it harder for Oh and Tip to see them. Pig walked back over to Tip and Oh, rubbing against them.
"Wow Pig! You... you...!" Tip started to say, but was still too shocked to finish her sentence.
"You has your own family!" Oh finished for her. As if he was agreeing, Pig went back to the brown tabby cat. Tip and Oh turned back to each other and stood up.
"We need to decided what to do with Pig's family. We can't leave them here." Tip quickly looked at the dumpster then back at Oh.
"Wouldn't it be the easy to tell Mimom?" Oh asked. The look Tip gave him made him realize what was wrong with his plan.
"Well, unless you want to explain to her about how we know about the kittens and their mother. No! It wouldn't be easier." Tip said with an edge of irritation. They looked at Pig and the other five cats. The mother was still curled around them but looked more relaxed. Pig was curled up next to her now and was looking at Tip and Oh with sleepy yellow eyes. Tip and Oh then remembered how late it was when the found themselves now struggling to stay awake.
"We should to be heading back. Maybe we can think of what to do with Pig cat's family tomorrow?" Oh suggested.
"Sure, Oh. Besides," Tip stifled a yawn. "Pig will come home in the morning so we need to get back before he does." So the two picked up their flashlights and headed back to the apartment. Tip turned off both flashlights once they were in the light of the street lights. "Good thing we chose tonight to follow Pig." Tip said before yawning again. "Otherwise I'd have to do some serious explaining for sleeping in so late."
The next morning Tip and Oh woke up and entered the kitchen. To their surprise, Lucy was sitting down in one of the dining room chairs with a brown tabby cat. The cat seemed to be enjoying the attention Ms. Tucci was giving it.
"Hey mom? What's with the cat?" Tip asked. She scratched the cat behind it's ears and had to stop herself from gasping in shock when the cat opened her eyes. One was like a sparkling sapphire and the other was a deep emerald.
"Well when Pig came home this morning I found her with him. They both seem to be very found of each other. And look at her eyes! Tip, Oh, wouldn't you agree that she has the most beautiful and unique eyes for a cat?" Lucy Tucci explained to her daughter. "Since Pig seems to like her I'm thinking of keeping her. How does Heather sound?"
"Sounds great mom, but got to go. Be back soon." Tip quickly said hurrying to the door.
This made Lucy confused. "Why the hurry? It's a Saturday so you can't be worried about being late for school."
"Just going for a walk! Want to get outside before everyone's up! Right Oh?" Tip was smiling and looking at Oh expectantly. Oh was now looking confused.
"Whatfor do you mean Tip? I..." He was interrupted by Tip sharply elbowing him.
"Just go along with it and say yes!" She whispered. Her mom was now getting either confused or suspicious. Either one of those was not good, and it might draw questions she would have an awkward time answering.
Oh, still confused on what Tip was doing, just nodded yes at first. "Oh yes! We are going for a walk." Not waiting for her mom's answer, Tip rushed out the door pulling Oh along with her. As if they had been called to, Pig, who had been eating, and Heather rushed out the door after them. The only person remaining was a very dazed Lucy Tucci at this morning's start.
"So what is going on?" Oh asked Tip who still seemed to be in a hurry. Tip slowed down a bit the stopped.
"Remember the kittens we saw last night?" Tip asked, she was hoping that he would instantly pick up on what she was saying, but to her disappointment, he did not.
"Yes, but what does that to do with us taking a walk?" Oh questioned. The two heard meowing and saw Pig and Heather running up to them.
"Oh, the cat mom had this morning, that's the cat we saw last night!" When she noticed Heather was near her feet, she scoped her up. "See? Same fur, same eyes, same cat!"
"If Heather cat is the same cat we saw to last night, then where are the little cats?" Oh asked, looking at Heather.
"That's my point! What if her kittens are missing?" Tip said, hoping that by now he would realize what they were doing.
Oh briefly turned orange as he understood what she meant. "Then what are we waiting for? We must go find them now!" Tip smiled then continued in their rush the find the kittens.
So noticed how short my first chapter was so I tried to make this one a little longer. And about Oh briefly turning orange, in the movie turning the scene when Tip teaches him about jokes he does this when he relizes that Tip interupting him by mooing is the joke. So it is this that makes me believe that boov (or at least Oh) does this when the relize something. Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
