C O L UM N KITTY IN THE CITY The Secret Room 1 By Ginger There is a room in my house. A room I am not allowed to go in. Can you believe it? It’s my house, and the human creature thinks she can stop me from getting in a room and rolling on the tiles? hole chair? Isn’t she scared of falling into the water? It must be uncomfortable. I am sure she is planning to bathe me again! Oh how much I hate those baths! I better start planning my escape before I end up getting washed. I am sure there is something in that room that she is hiding from me. Or maybe she sneaks in and conspires against me. I am sure she has some sort of a device she uses to communicate with that barbaric groomer or that mean doctor who just looks for a chance to prick me with that syringe! Now what was that huge litter tray? Seemed like a bigger version of the one the barbaric groomer has where he slathers me up with that ill-smelling liquid and then “cleans” it too with water. Last week I managed to sneak in and find out what is it that she is hiding in that room. The room looked like some sort of a lab or the mean Vets clinic. There were so many small bottles and instruments. What I didn’t understand was that why was there a chair with a hole and a huge litter box with no sand? I knew my human was lying when she had once told me off for trying to sneak into the secret room by calling it her litter box! I didn’t see any sand in the room! It’s not a litter box I am sure of that. Now what is the purpose of that uncomfortable I couldn’t really explore much as I heard my human slave approaching. I have taken the notes now, I need to sit down and figure out what exactly is that secret room? I think I will have to talk to my friend Bob whenever he comes to visit next with his servant. I can’t trust anyone around here! Ginger Eyes is an 8 years old, well travelled, cat that loves herself a bit too much. She thinks she is the best thing that could have happened to the human who she currently owns. INTERNSHIPS FOR STUDENTS AND GRADUATES Want to experice the publishing world?
