Cute, but Naughty

My family decided one day, completly out of the Blue, that we would go to
America to visit Aunty Nic and all her pets. By the time we arrived at Aunty Nic's house and met the cats it was to far away from the airport to turn back.


Buster, Buddy-Lee, Julius, Raj, Pan, Pao, Tito and Dudley. 8 naughty cats. Sage, one innocent dog. These are my Aunty Nic's pets. By the 2nd day in America Dudley had proved to be the naughtiest and in the days to come he would prove he was King of the Naughties in all 'events'.

The first event; Shower Time. I was just having my shower in the evening when I looked over at the shower curtain. Something was there. I continued my shower for a few minutes when suddenly the shadow moved. A little bit scared I continued my shower. Then the thing JUMPED right at me! I quickly moved backwards then it appeared. Dudley!!! I looked at Dudley, accusingly then quickly put him out of the shower.

The second event; Bed Time. After our big day I really needed some sleep. I snuggled up in bed and quickly dozed off. After some time I woke up. 2:00am. Something bushed against my feet. I sat up. Nothing there. I lay down. There it was again. I sat up again. Still nothing. I ducked under my covers, feeling more scared than ever. I almost screamed. The thing brushed past my face. I grabbed the thing quickly. Dudley again!!!

When I woke up the next morning I grabbed Dudley and gave him a hug. Cute, but REALLY Naughty!!!

Very cute story, Claire. Nice job!

The cats weren't being naughty, though. They were just being cats, and wanted human companionship.

You should feel very honored that Dudley wanted to spend time with you. Cats are very perceptive about who they can trust, so you must be a very kind person. Thank you for giving Dudley a hug.

Keep on writing. I hope to see more stories from you in the future.
