Midnight Hunter

In the dark of the night, the eyes of the most dangerous animal in the world glowed. The little demon was stalking her prey. Quietly, she moved low and slow. Closer. Closer.

And then ….

A flash of lightning momentarily blinded her. She stood and shook her head to clear her vision. She let out a squeak of displeasure.

Mahmee had turned on the kitchen light. “What are you doing? I thought you were in the bedroom with the others. Why is my iceberg lettuce on the floor? Did you put it there?” 

The little black kitten looked up with big innocent eyes. 

Mahmee sighed and picked up the lettuce from the floor. “Go on. Good thing it's still in a plastic bag or no treats for you.”

The little kitten ran out of the room like her tail was on fire. 

Mahmee laughed and put the lettuce in the fridge. “I knew I forgot to do something. I need to watch that little demon.”

Mahmee walked into the bedroom and looked in the basket of clean clothes. “There sat the little black kitten.” 

“I see you're getting hair on my nice clean clothes. You just can't stay out of trouble, can you?” Mahmee reached down and picked up the little black cat. She stroked the soft fur as she sat down on the bed. “It's time to sleep now.”

All the cats on the bed moved over to let Mahmee lay down. 

“You need to learn to behave, little one.”

The kitten snuggled down next to the woman and joined the sing a long of purrs coming from the others. 

“Go to sleep my babies. Mahmee loves you.” She closed her eyes and let the cats lull her to sleep.

After a while, the little black kitten opened her eyes and saw that the woman was asleep. She crawled off the bed and went to stalk the slipper under the bed.
