A Tail of Two Kitties

Once upon a time there was a little country kitty named Maggie. Maggie was a simple cat, born and raised in a sleepy little town in the center of Texas. Most of her days were spent uneventfully frolicking around her little home. Then one day Maggie started to notice some different things happening around her house: large black containers with wheels appeared; her water and food bowls disappeared, then her litter box; finally, she was scooped up and found herself inside another little moving house!

This moving house provided many an opportunity for exploration, though most of the time was spent under the seat, which provided great security and comfort for sleeping (for Maggie, nap time was always to be strictly observed.) After a while, the moving house stopped and Maggie found herself in a place like none other she had ever seen - she was in the city! Many a surprise awaited Maggie in this new place - new humans eager to meet her, a second floor of house to explore and most of all - her cousin Harley waiting to make her feel welcome.

Maggie's sophisticated cousin Harley was eager to show her all the fun there was to be had here. He showed her his bed, and she slept in it; he showed her his windowsill, and she climbed on it; she showed him her litter box, he used it. They were soon the best of friends. Sure, they had their scuffles, and Maggie discovered that she could make a sound like a growl, but for the most part they enjoyed just having each other around.

All too soon the week drew to a close, and Maggie once again noticed things disappearing, then was scooped up and put inside the moving house for a second time. She didn't mind it as much this time, until it stopped moving, and she heard her owners say things like, "A/C" and "broken." After that time, the moving house became very hot and windy.

Maggie was never so glad to be back in her own home again, however quaint and cozy, for it was her home and that was where she belonged.

I love this blog! I am missing Maggie and so I have watched the video more times than I care to admit. Harley is missing her too and seems to be hoping that she will reappear. Maggie is welcome to come visit the big city anytime!
For all new Harley fans....he is even cuter in person!
