Wendy, the
cat had been sleeping curled up in a tight ball with her
tail over her eyes most of the morning. A flea started to bite her so she
sat up and raised her back paw, scratching
behind her ear.
Mitzy, the black and white kitten who
loved to play games, walked up to Wendy and
touched her on the nose. That started everything. They
decided to play tag in the house. Wendy skipped into the
hall, tagged Mitzy and raced into the
living room. She jumped over the sofa and crawled
under the coffee table, where she laid
down to rest. Mitzy pranced up to Wendy.
Tag, you're it Wendy! Wendy crouched down low, her
chin touching the floor and her tail flicking
wildly. She was ready to spring on Mitzy who was
scratching a flea. Wendy leaped, ran and
creeped under the bed. She sat down to
think, where is Mitzy? She listened: she turned her head in all
directions and breathed deeply. Wham! Mitzy
jumped on top of her, pushing her over
and rolling her on the floor.
Wendy
didn't like this so she got up and walked
away. Mitzy wished to play more but Wendy turned around,
showed her teeth and made a hissing sound. This
told Mitzy that she didn't like the rough play and wanted to quit. Wendy
walked to the bedroom, jumped on the
pillows on the bed. She tried to find a soft spot to rest so she
circled the spot several times and laid down
in a ball with her tail covering her eyes to
keep the light out. |
