Squirrel's Dilemma

[[Bell,Book,and C[a]ndle]]

Squirrel padded out the cat flap,as she called it,though it was big enough to be considered a Doggy-door, of her nest, yawning to greet the morning. Her head tilted quizically as she padded through the damp grass,and sat down.Anyone could tell that Squirrel was deep in thought,and not in the good way.Across the large yard, a brown,black,and gray dog was trotting out of the house with a happy bark.Squirrel jumped,startled by the noise.

"Oh.Rusty.You scared me."she meowed,her fur slowly flattening once again.She stood up,and rubbed once against the dog's legs, her familiar greeting to it."Rusty....somethings happening to the two-legs and I don't like it.They're bringing home all of this....new stuff."the young she-cat meowed."I heard the word 'baby'.We know most of their words,just like we've sort of learned each other's language,right?Well,I didn't understand.They said the word 'baby'.They've never said that before.What's a 'baby'?"Squirrel asked.

Rusty scratched his ear,and stared down at Squirrel."Me no know."he growled.

Squirrel sighed and turned, leaping upon the fence in search of any signs of other kittypets.Might aswell make the best of this day.
