"Now, I'll be right back," Marinette said, on her way to the kitchen for a snack, "Don't touch anything."
Cat groaned internally. When you tell a Cat "don't touch" they will want to play with the tempting item even more.
Cat sat in his "Good Boi" pose even with a tempting water cup close by as he heard Marinette's footsteps fading downstairs.
Once the coast was clear, he eyed the water glass. Sure, it wasn't a pen, but what would happen if he knocked it off? Would it start to roll, and be a new toy?! Thunk! "Cat!" Marinette cried. Uh-oh. He had forgotten Marinette's super-hearing abilities s when it came to naughtiness.
"I told you not to touch! What have you got to say for yourself?" Marinette came back in, holding the snack tray. Cat's tail lashed back and forth as he waited for a idea. Oh! Blep!
"A melm? That's your excuse? Okay, go to your box!" Well, that had been fun while it lasted. And as Cat trudged over to the box, it could be the next best toy!
