Catch That Cat!
Chapter 1 The Human WorldIn Jellicle Valley, there lived many cats and kittens. Up in the Earth, Jellicle Valley was just a play called Cats.
As Mistoffelees brushed himself off, Victoria came down with her little kitten, Angel. They loved pulling pranks on each other. Angel was known as the biggest prankster in Jellicle Valley. So she did what she loved to do best. She took a whoopie cushion from her room and put it under her dad's chair. "Daddy, sit next to me!" she said. Her father was so lightweight that when he sat on his chair, he sent off flying in the air. Victoria laughed. "Angel, why did you do that?" she asked.
"I love pulling pranks on other cats," she said. "One day, I want to prank humans!" Mistoffelees came down and crashed with a heap. Then he got up.
"Maybe you can," he said. "I can take you to the human world. It's 1998 in there."
"Wow! I'll go get my friends and family!" So she went to tell her family and friends. This was her list.

Victoria was shocked! She invited almost every cat and kitten in the tribe! "I don't think I'll be able to transfer 31 cats to a different world," said Mistoffelees.
"C'mon pal," said Tugger.
"You're the original conjuring cat," Demeter said.
"We believe in you," a trustworthy Victoria said.
"Go Misto!" the kittens shouted.
"Alright, alright. I'll do it. Okay everyone, close your eyes and take a deep breath." The cats and kittens did as he said. "When the last couple of cats curl, take all of us cats to a different world!" Then with a wave of his hands, the cats and kittens all disappeared and arrived at the human world.
All the cats were in awe when they saw the busy city streets, casual-dressing people, and open plazas. 'Where are we, Daddy?" Angel asked.
"We are all in the Cats capital of the world, London England!"
"All of the sights are amazing!" Bombalurina cried.
"I agree," Munkustrap said in awe.
"Well done, Mistoffelees," Old Deuteronomy declared. "Now show us where the humans live."
"Uhhh… okay," said Misto. Then Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer pointed out something.
"Lookie, lookie, a poster!" they both shouted. Then the cats and the kittens ran to see the poster. "Can anyone read human?" Mungojerrie asked.
"I can read human," Grizabella said. She stepped forward. "Cats the Musical movie filming at Adelphi Theatre in London. Directed by Trevor Nunn. Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Choreography by Gillian Lynne. Starring…"
"WE GET THE POINT! THEY'RE FILMING A MOVIE!" Alonzo shouted.
"Oooooh. Aaaaah…" everyone said.
"We're gonna be in a movie, Momma!" Lola shouted.
"No, Lola. The humans are making a movie about cats. We should go to the Adelphi Theatre and find out," Bombalurina said.
"She makes a good point," Jellylorum said.
"But they won't let cats in. Humans only," Cassandra pointed out.
"She's right," Skimble said. "But I've got a plan." Everyone huddled around Skimble. "We'll disguise ourselves as humans, and they'll let us in."
"There's just one problem," Jennyanydots said. "Humans are about 5 or 6 feet tall!"
"All the kittens can go on top of each other," Angel said. "I'll be at the top."
"God bless you, Angel," Misto said as he gave Angel a hug.
"Who's gonna be at the bottom?" Rocco asked.
"YOU!" Angel shouted.
"Hey! Tumble and I found costumes," Pouncival said holding two coats and two hats.
"We stole them from the men reading their newspapers," Tumblebrutus said. Everyone started to laugh. As the kittens got situated, the cats got themselves situated.
"Okay, who's the heaviest cat here?" Misto asked.
"Old D," everyone said.
"I wish Bustopher and Babette Jones were here," Old D said.
"That's Grandma and Grandpa," said Rocco and Angel.
"Who's the lightest?" Misto asked again.
"I am obviously," Victoria said. Then in less than an hour, they were two 7 and 5 foot tall 'humans'.
"It smells like smoke in here," Angel said.
"I know. Where did it come from?" Jemima asked.
"Oh no! The coats are on fire!" Mungojerrie cried.
"Someone put it out!" Rumpleteazer cried.
"No don't these men smoke pipes and cigars. Deal with it," Demeter said.
"Are we gonna talk or move on outta here?" Rocco asked.
"You're right, young man," Old Deuteronomy said. ""Run Rocco and keep up the pace." So they were off faster than you can say 'Cats!'
But little did they know that those coats and hats belonged to Trevor Nunn and Andrew Lloyd Webber. "Someone stole our coats and hats!" Trevor cried.
"Call Scotland Yard!" Andrew cried.
