Kitty The Cat

Kitty the cat was getting very annoyed because someone was always nibbling at her food. To be sure, she always paid close attention to how much food was left in the bowl.  Kitty thought she knew who might be eating her food.
It had to be Rover the dog.

Since she could never catch Rover doing it, Kitty decided to confront him.

It took courage, because she knew annoying Rover would result in her being chased up a tree.  But one day she garnered the courage to confront Rover.

She cleared her throat and said, “Rover, you are the best dog in the whole world.  We have lived in this house together for a long time and I would be honored if you liked my food.”

Rover began to growl and he said “what! Me like cat food?” And with that the chase was on.

Rover chased Kitty around the house three times, down the lane and up a tree.  While waiting things out on the tree, Kitty realized she had made a big mistake. But she was still determined to find out who was eating her food.

Kitty decided to hide out on the veranda where her food dish was.

She saw crows on the lawn across the street. Could it be the crows stealing her food? Or what about mice?  She had seen mice around the house.

Kitty fell asleep.  And cats do sleep a lot!  A bit of scraping noise woke her up.  She glanced at her bowl and couldn’t believe her eyes:  A squirrel was eating her food.

Kitty thought of chasing the squirrel up a tree because squirrels climb trees and cats can also climb trees.

But then she thought of how she disliked it when Rover chased her up a tree. Besides, the squirrel was so cute.

Right there and then Kitty decided she would share her food and try to make friends with the squirrel.
