Family
Man, do I have a problem.
I’m a small, soft, furry, cuddly orange striped cat with a white tip at the very end
of my tail. I live in a comfortable home with my people. I’m allowed to sit on anything, go anywhere in the house, and my people don’t even fuss at me when I kick litter on the floor when I go to potty.
In the living room of my house there is a very tall open cabinet that houses the
television, the VCR, and many, many books. It also houses my problem. You see, on the very top of that cabinet sits a vase of brightly colored flowers. I want to smell those flowers in the worse kind of a way. But how to get there is my pressing problem.
If I want to get up there to smell those flowers, it’s going to take some very careful planning. If I try to jump from the right side, I might bump a dining room chair. If I could jump from the center, I might bump the flower vase, and that just wouldn’t do. No, I think I might jump from the left, or maybe from an angle.
Gracious! If I keep pacing back and forth trying to make up my mind I just might get dizzy. I don’t know why I have such a hard time making up my mind. After all, I have nine lives, and haven’t even started to use them yet. Guess I had better just make the leap, and hope for the best.
Whoopee, I made it. That was quite a jump for a little kitten like me, but nothing
ventured, nothing gained.
Hey, look, there’s the vase. Now I can smell those flowers, and then my problem’s solved. What, no smell? Who ever heard of flowers with no smell? Bending over for another whiff, my nose got too close, and I suddenly realized
the flowers were silk. All that careful planning, and I didn’t even get a smell.
Uh. oh, now I’ve done it. Everything, flowers, vase, and all, just fell to the floor. The rug must have saved the vase because it didn’t break. Just look at those flowers, though. All scattered over the floor. Oh well. At least they weren’t real, and had no water in them. That would really have made a mess.
I guess I’d better jump down. I’ll have to take my scolding like the lady I am. I’ll not make any promises not to get on top of that cabinet, though, because now that I know I can get there, I think I’ll nap up there. Then when my people look for me they won’t be able to find me
