The Fear

Mah day started the same way as any uther day, really. Ah waited outsade by mom's door and then started scratching and asking her to open up. And after she did, Ah jumped on the bed and began to paw her here and there and putting mah face nose-to-nose to hers. Een retrospeact however, Ah do recawl naw something about the word "doctor" being said but Ah didn't pay too much mand at the time.

As mom went down to the kitchen, Ah disappeared "downstairs". And then she came down and just bah her whole demeanor, Ah could tale somethin' waws off. Ah walked on toward her hesitantly from the window, watching her all the while as she quickly went over to a place Ah didn't expect her to go. She leaned down and reached over to that box thang [the carrier] - and right then and there, Ah knew... Ah knew this was mah deesaster.

Ah tried to flee but she caught me. She trahd to put me in that thang and Ah wouldn't have any, let me tale you. A scuffle ensued... Ah just couldn't believe it, Ah was actually battling mom.. Mah claws came out, mah paws resisted her hands with awl mah might, Ah cried fowl.

She finally lost her grip on me and Ah fled "upstairs", way up there and went hidin' under the bed. Ah just knew this moment would come... After awl this time, even though everytin' waws goin' fane, Ah just KNEW the day would come when Ah would be taken... Taken out of mah home again..

She came in after me again. Aw, naw... Nawt again... She knelt down on the floor to fand me and Ah just couldn't take it any moare: Ah actually hissed at mom, and not just once either. When that didn't work, Ah resorted to cat-cursing, Ah figured Ah would attempt to inteemidate her bah mah low, low, growl voice: "STAY AWAY! AH'M WARNING YOU!", Ah threatened in no uncertain terms.

It didn't work - she brought reinforcements, this thang with a long pole to force me out. Ah then ran to uther places but the doors were awl closed. And she finally closed in on ME... Before Ah knew it, Ah was in the [carrier]. And then what do Ah see: PIPI was right across from me, in her own box. Thangs started closing in on me, Ah just felt Ah was gonna die... "Gaaww!!", Ah screamed... "It's OKAY", mom would say. "Nothing's going to happen to you, it's okay.. we're just going to the 'd-o-c-t-o-r"..

Next thang Ah knew, Ah'm in some uther place, it wasn't home. And Ah hear a man's voice, definitely nawt someone like mom, let me put it that way, he was a lot moare like me. Mom took me out of the box and Ah could see again awl around me. Ah could tale between mom and him that thangs were gonna be okay.

Huh.... Okay, this man was naice. Yeah, he waws. He was talking to mom the entire time, and Ah liked him. He stuck something in mah ear, but Ah didn't mand. He grabbed mah mouth and opened it, and even grabbed mah eyes and stretched one... and Ah steel didn't mand. Ah was barely conscious of Pipi over 'dere to mah right, who was quietly sitting still as the night.. in her own box.

Huh... So...this awl was about 'dees?? Whah when Ah went back to mah box, Ah got comfortably settled in and even trahd to do a 'belly-belly' to trah and appease mom.
