A Day in the Life of Kitty

It's morning, the girls are at school and all is quiet in the house. There is a lovely warm patch of sunlight to stretch out in and the sounds of kitty food being prepared in the next room. Then all hell breaks loose. Twenty-five pounds of shrieking toddler comes tearing around the corner, arms outstretched. Lightning-quick hands clutch at paws and tails as both cats streak into the next room in hopes of escape. But there is no escape today. They have been seen and the chase is on. With "KITTY!!" echoing through the house, the boy pursues, stout legs pumping feverishly. The cats separate. Felix makes his getaway, but Oscar is soon pinned down under the sofa. He is summarily dragged from his hiding place by the collar, claws futilely searching for purchase on the polished wood floor. He prepares for the inevitable onslaught of slobbery affection...but what is this?.....mistress has grabbed the toddler! Howling in indignation at being plucked from his prize, the child is scolded and put in time out. The hunt is over. He is delivered to the safety of the porch where the smells of tuna vittles and fresh pools of quiet sunlight await. Today promises to be a good one after all.
