Trapped Kitty

The big man takes care of us when Mommie is away. He does OK. He plays with Monkey a lot but I stay away from him.

At our house, we have a big house and two little houses. The small building in the back is where the big man keeps tools and stuff. Me and Monkey have hiding places under the small building in the back.

The other little house is where people stay sometimes. Mommie calls it the guest house. When I first came to live at Mommie's house, a lady lived there. She used to live in New Orleans but somebody named Katrina came and messed up her house. She had to drive away very fast and came to stay in our little house. She was a good lady. She really liked kitties so me and Monkey got to go in the little house a lot. She played with us and gave us special treats. We liked going in the little house.

Sometimes the lady would sit in the rocking chair on the porch and talk on the phone. She would let me and Monkey sit in her lap and she would pet us. She took really good care of us when Mommie and the big man were gone. The lady stayed with us for 3 months, and then she moved somewhere else to live and we miss her.

I like the little house, so does Monkey. Well, the other day, the big man went inside the little house so me and Monkey went right in behind him. We were playing and looking around, just like we used to. When the big man went out, Monkey went out too. I wanted to stay in and look around some more. The big man left and shut the door.

I was happy for a while and then I was ready to go out. I meowed and meowed but no one heard me. I kept meowing. I finally got tired of meowing and just waited. I knew the big man or Mommie would come looking for me soon. I was trapped in the little house for 2 days and 2 nights! I had lots of water in the big water bowl, but no food! I was hungry.

I finally realized the big man was not going to find me by hisownself, so I waited in the big front window of the little house until he came home from work. I meowed and jumped and tried to climb the window. He saw me! He came to let me out. When he opened the door, I ran out because I had to go to potty really bad! The big man was yelling at me. Sometimes he is a mean big man!

He called Mommie and told on me. Mommie was worried about me and Monkey said every time she called, she asked the big man if he had found me yet. When Mommie gets home, I'm going to tell her I was a trapped kitty. Now I'm not trapped and I ate a lot of food. I am full and happy and I am a lucky kitty.
