For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
We had a team meeting to tell everyone about the helicopter that is watching Kat. So we decided to mix up her schedule so they would not know what time she is outside, and they cannot stay out there all day waiting for her. “They must have changed her schedule boss,” said Butch, “this is the second day we missed her.”
“Yeah, but there is no way they could know we are watching,” said Craig, “so it must be something they do on a normal basis. It will not be easy catching that Kat woman, but I will do it. I just need to think of a way.” “She likes spending time with those cats,” said Williams, “if we could catch one of them we could use it as bait maybe.”
“Good thought,” replied Craig, “but not just any cat, it must be that gray cat. She is Steve’s pet and if she is really the ghost of Kat, who was Steve’s wife, then she would do anything to get her back for Steve.” “Good thought boss,” said Bouncer, “but how do we pick up a little cat?” Bouncer was a big, very strong man, but still no match for our Rock.
“We will have to do it when the cats are outside,” said Craig, “do the guns on this chopper work?” “Sure thing boss,” said Butch, “but they are not big, shoots bullets like in our handguns.” “That is all we need,” said Craig, “we will come in fast, but do not kill any of those cats and just concentrate on that gray one. Bouncer, you pull her in through that hole in the floor when we get on top of her.”
“No problem there, boss,” said Bouncer, “but we will have to be quick, those gals have bigger guns than this chopper.” “We will be quick,” said Craig, “now we just need to hit the right day when the cats are outside.” Now, back to us again. “It seems that chopper is around every day now, trying different times to find Kat,” I said at another team meeting, “so Kat will stay indoors for a few days.”
“What a terrible thing,” she said, “and with all this nice weather too.” “Better to be safe than sorry,” said Nelson, “it is obvious this Craig wants you and we will not let that happen.” “Thanks Mr. B, I mean, Mr. N.,” she said, “sorry, but that is what happens hanging around Steve so much.” “Yes, well, please be more careful in the future,” he said, shaking his head.
A couple of days later, Sky, myself and the cats were outside playing together, and we had our 4 bodyguards with us keeping an eye on things carefully. “There they are boss,” said Williams, “except the orange cat is missing.” “I do not care about the orange cat, or any of the others,” said Craig, “I only want that gray cat!”
“She is there alright,” said Williams, “and so are those 4 bodyguards, that is the scary part.” “Not if we hit them fast enough,” said Craig, “so get going Butch, and get ready Bouncer!” They came in low, just over the trees taking us by surprise! They began shooting at us which set off our alarm inside the house, “Code A5, Code A5”!
But before anyone could get outside, the chopper had the cats running for cover, shooting right behind them. Then at the last minute they began shooting toward Muffin and she turned away from the others, running as fast as she could. Then they shot all around her and she stopped, lying flat on the ground and the chopper landed on top of her.
A large hand came out and picked her up and off they went. By that time others were out and began shooting, but I yelled at them to stop! Muffin was gone, and in her place was a package with “Kat” written on it. Catalina checked the box first to make sure it was not a bomb. Then she opened it and gave the note to Kat. It gave her instructions to follow if she wanted to get Muffin back safely.
If she did not follow those instructions, then Muffin would be killed in 4 hours. “You cannot do it Kat,” said Nelson, “they want to kill you, or force you to do something for them.” “Those are two things they cannot do,” said Kat, “and I am responsible for Muffin’s capture, so I will do what they say to get her back. She is more important than me.” “Then we will follow,” I said, “but will keep far enough away.”
“No, they will be watching Steve,” Kat reminded me, “they said not to bring anyone with me or they would kill Muffin.” “They will likely kill Muffin anyway Kat,” said Crystal. “Yes,” agreed Rock, “and there are enough of us to overpower them quickly before they had a chance to do anything.” “What do you say Steve?” asked Nelson.
“I…cannot say anything,” I said, “the rest of you will have to make the decision.” I then went to our bedroom and Sky followed. Meowr.=We not anyone, we cats. Meow.=Yep, we go along, watch what happen. Meowi.=Yep, maybe we can help rescue Muffin. Meowy.=Me go too. “Hmm, that just might work cats,” said Kat smiling…

They’re still chasing Kat?? I thought she was dead?π€ Well at least a ghost anyway!π

Kat is dead. Or is she? Craig and Williams seem to think she really is a ghost. No one can kill her, guns are useless against her and all other weapons too. She can move incredibly fast when fighting and can point at someone, say, “now you die” and they die on the spot. So is she a ghost, or the real Kat, or Kate Saunders come to take Kat’s place? She is a mystery to all, except Sky, myself and the cats.π€π©π©πΌπΌπΌπΌπΌπ΅οΈββοΈ

She doesn’t worry, but the rest of us do. Perhaps she is too confident and there might be a way to stop her. And if she is a real person, then there is always a way to stop her, somehow. That’s where the real problem comes in. But she has already proved herself at being able to handle anyone in a fight, and kill them just by speaking. That part is sort of scary.π€π΅οΈββοΈ

Yep, Tiia has officially joined the cat members, but Snow is still too young, she was younger than Tiia. Plus Snow is very small and has trouble with the backpack, so Kat is going to design something better for her. Kat has already made the other backpacks better than they were.πΊπΊ

Good that your bank reimbursed you at least. But these things happen so much these days. That’s a lot of small purchases though, strange they did not get suspicious sooner. They need to have better security in place for cards, especially since people use plastic so much for purchases now, it will just keep getting worse.

Craig seems to be getting his way. But the cats and Kat have a plan. I hope it works. Taking oneβs pet is getting pretty low and dirty to get Kat. Craig does not know who he is messing with. It is time for Kayβs revenge and the catsβ revenge.
