Act One; Scene One:
The Grands spent the night. Pap has a cold so the two kids and Gigi slept in the "forbidden" bedroom. This set the stage for some crazy antics...
This is the only dog in the Universe I trust to let a little boy do this. If it was Jack I would scream then faint... |
Boo! to Dash: Wait a minute! The door to the room we aren't supposed to go into is open! What does that mean? Look! It's wide open.
Dash: Whoa...hang on...it is open! Maybe it's a trick! She's always faking me out with the feather stick. I don't trust her. We should wait a minute...
Eli: I heard Mom say she's sleeping in there with the kids. I'm going in.
Fancy: Oh, cool! The closet door's open! I can finally go in there and check it out. Bye, suckers...
Chance and Finn (looking to each other for guidance. Finn speaks first): Well, if they're going in, we should, too. C'mon, Chance. We'll sneak under the bed till the coast is clear.
Chance: What coast? I don't understand what is happening! Mom gets mad when we go in there. I'm staying put. I get in enough trouble over the stupid litter box.
Act One; Scene Two:
At this point, it became a free-for-all. Cats went everywhere! It was like letting toddlers loose in a Gummy Bears factory. Some followed Fancy into the closet like it was a hidden passageway. Others went under the bed. Boo! and Dash went under there specifically so they could attack feet that came close to the bed. They also dove onto the tray filled with teeny, tiny Legos pieces. They knocked pillows onto the floor and tore into the baskets and bins filled with stuff. And that was in the first five minutes before we went to bed.
Act One; Scene Three:
When we finally turned off the lights, it became The Attack of the Abyssinian Monsters! Dash and Boo! took turns biting our feet through the covers. Dash is fascinated by eyes and always wants a human's to be open. He pushes on your lids till you have no choice but to open them and look at him. It's like, "Mommy! Mommy! Wake up! Are you in there? Open your eyes!" (I know this move well, cause I used to do it to my napping father.)
Boo! looks so sweet and cute but she is a demon when it comes to ravaging a human's face. First she smears her Boo!juice all over you, like she's smearing sunscreen on your face. "Mnum, mnum, lick, lick - slurp - There. Now you smell good. Just like me. You are mine, human. Mine!" Her needle teeth can pierce through the heaviest blanket. If biting through the covers doesn't produce the desired effect, she will go under the covers and bite your feet good and hard. We swatted her off like a giant mosquito all night long.
The Next Day:
All of the cats are sound asleep now. I look and feel like a zombie, but they must rest since they had such a busy night torturing us. It's a tough job but somebody's gotta do it...
The End

Why are you bothering me? I'm tired! |
That's better. Go away! |
Last, but never least, Fancy is lounging on the glider pretending he doesn't live here. |
