Once upon a time, there was a tiny little kitten with a big personality. Her name was Boo! and she had the heart of a tiger! Now, Boo! wanted to do everything her big brother did. She watched him come and go through a special door to the outside world. Boo! thought it must be wonderful to go out there.
One morning, Boo!'s human mommy opened the back door and told Boo! she could go out with the other cats. Boo! never wanted to act frightened, so she put on a brave face, and stepped out into the big world. It was chilly out there but Boo! was shaking a little from excitement, not the cold.
As Boo! explored, her big brother, Dash, nervously followed her around. He wanted to have fun himself, hunting for lizards, but he couldn't take his eyes off his tiny baby sister. Dash was worried she would get into trouble. The other cats checked on her, too. Everybody was watching to see what she would do.

| Come. Out. Of. There. I'm supposed to watch you! |
Now, even though Boo! had seen the big dogs everyday for a week, when they came in from the backyard, it was like they were scary monsters she had never seen before! She hissed at them and they were confused. Why was this tiny girl acting like she had never seen them before? When they got close to check what was wrong, Boo! got even more upset! That was when her human mommy decided she had enough excitement for one day. She scooped her up and gave her a big cuddle. Even tiny tigers need a mom to rescue them from themselves sometimes.
Dash was relieved when he no longer had to worry about his little sister! He ran around the pool and swiped at imaginary snakes and looked around for real lizards. Even big brother tigers need some time to just be themselves.
The End
(For now...)
