Carrrrson!!! His mother's high pitched squeak now sounded more panicked than angry. Carson couldn't understand why. He was being delivered to safety by his long absent father. While Carson was sure he would be confined to his nest for weeks to come, having the family all together again was going to be wonderful.
Carson Aloysius Truman Shortail. Carson cringed. Shortail was a taunt by his brother that had stuck as a nickname after Bonkers had taken two thirds of Carson's tail during the last encounter between cat and mouse. Carson hated the name and everyone knew it. The only time his mother ever used it was...
Wait. That wasn't his mother's voice. Someone else was screaming at him.
Carson struggled to shake the cobwebs from his mind.
Much to his horror, as Carson's thoughts cleared his father disappeared. The face clamped on the end of his tail was none other than the grinning Bonkers the cat!!
