[Petbunny] OT: funny cat story.

[Bruce Atchison - author]

Hi folks;

I just finished a writing exercise and I thought you'd get a laugh out of 
it.  Let me know what you think of this, alright?

Though summer is a time for memorable family activities, minor
episodes can also leave lasting impressions.  This recollection
from my teenage years comes back to me as clear as if it happened
yesterday.  brilliant sunlight poured through the living room
picture window early one evening as my family and I watched TV.
Cocoa, our Siamese cat, gracefully entered, intent on stretching
out in one of her customary spots.  Then she froze, her sky blue
eyes locking onto her favourite game.  In the centre of the
rectangle of sunlight on the light brown carpet, a foolhardy fly
sat motionless and exposed.  This chance was too good to miss.
Like a hunting jungle tiger, she slunk through the shade cast by
the chesterfield  to within two feet of the unsuspecting insect.
Seeing that the fly hadn't noticed her stalking it, Cocoa crouched
lower, gauged the distance to the target, and  launched herself.
Her lithe creamy body described a perfect arc as her dark chocolate
forepaws pinned down her prey.  Cocoa's expression abruptly changed
as she sniffed the inert object.  It was a watermelon seed that a
careless human dropped.  With all the haughtiness a feline could
muster, she  straightened up and strode underneath the
chesterfield.   She flopped down and glared at us, her violently
swishing tail conveying her righteous indignation.  The raucous
laughter from my sisters and me only deepened her chagrin at making
such an undignified mistake.  The Queen, as we nicknamed her, was
definitely not amused.

Sincerely,

School) and When a Man Loves a Rabbit ((Learning and Living With Bunnies).
