I was jerked out of my envening nap by my human. I had forgotten, due to recent events, that i was to get groomed today. Suddenly I was happy again and excited to boot. My human, a short female with brown hair and fair complection, picked me up and scratched behind my ears. I began to purr. I couldn't stop myself it was just so awesome! My human (whos name was Jessica) began talking, but I was neither listening nor caring. She put me in my kennel and put me in her car. She walked around, got in, and started the car. We then began the 20 minute trip to the groomer. Jessica was sining along with every song that happened to be on the radio. Now I don't mean to fuss, but you know how people who can't sing seem to always sing in the car when they think noone can hear. Well we can hear, better than you, and you cannot sing so just don't try you silly humans.
We finaly arrived at the groomers, and my human took me inside and out of my cage, put me on the reception desk and rang the bell. A Pretty lady (when I say pretty I mean pretty for a human) in her mid thirtys came to the desk with a vapid grin much like a woman in a beauty pagent.
"What can I do for you?" The lady asked with a mild southern accent.
"I'm here for Juno's appointment," My human responded, "Should be under Lyn. Juno Lyn?" The woman consulted a reduculusly large tome muttering all the while,"Lyn, Lyn, Lyn. Ah! here we are 4:30 grooming appointment is that correct?"
"Should be." Jessica responded cherrily.
"Right just have a seet righ over there Malinda will be with you shortly. She's just finishing up with Rupert."
"Thank you." Jessica picked me off the conter and sat down with me in her lap.
It must have taken to "finish up" with Rupert because he was finished 45 minutes later. Rupert was the owner of a black lab named Likerish. Lickerish was a sweet female canine who always held a soft spot in my heart as far as dogs go. She was named for the candy but they niknamed her Licky for a good reason. She slobered on everyone she met including animals. I know this from experince... *shudders*
One combing, shampooing, and a trim latter I was the prettyest kitty in the kennel. Or I felts so at least. My human was paying the Front Desk Lady when I saw it. Just out side the door of the shop. Was it a animal? No, no living thing moves like that? Russhing across traffic like a manic was a stray cat pure black save one ear tip that was purest white. Male. I looked at my human now engrosed in conversation with the Lady. The stray was nearly to the shop. I had to move now. As my luck would have it another customer came though the door and I slipped out with out too much difficulty. I looked around for the cat and just caught his ebony tail zipping around the edge of the shoppe. I followed at a fast trot quiet yet swift. As I turned the corner, out of the blue somthing large and black hit me and I went rolling. I tussled with the adversary only to be pinned down by the stray I saw earlyer.
"Why are you following me?" He growled loudly and much more harsly than nessasary.
"I... I, I" I was baffled and I was never good under pressure.
"Answer." The cat demanded and boxed me in the ear.
"Ow what the ok thats just not nice."
"Maybe you should practice what you preach and don't follow unknown animals around"
"I was just curious!" I exclamed exasperated. He chuckled," Haven't you heard the saying pussy cat?"
"Yeah yeah now will you get off me." He glared at me a little while longer but graciously lettup however reluctanly. "Thank you." I said dusting myself off. "Hey where you going?" He had obvously lost intrest in me and thought better to spend his time else where. Well he had another thing coming. Juno Lyn will not be innored!
"Hey where you going?" I began to trott after him.
"What's it matter to you?"
"I dunno I just want to know."
"Hmmph Nosey much?"
"I'm just a cat what do you expect?"
"I got a job to do" I chuckled at that "A job. What you a hit man?
