Cat

Cat

A crash and a hiss echoed in the bedroom upstairs. Another hiss and a squeak. Footsteps pounded up the stairs. The door burst open to reveal cat stalking along the edge of the bed. A swipe of a paw here or there, its prey evading it with mere seconds to spare. The cat let out an angry growl as it pounced only to find its nails dug deep into the carpet. Another squeak and a scurry of black fur and slender pink tail. She scooped the rat up protectively, returning it to its cage.

"Bad kitty. No eating Amy!"
