“The Brat”

Hi…  I’m the Brat, a little small cat, and I like living dangerously.

My story is…  I live on a small farm, four-horses, a chicken, five dogs, six cats, and I’m the smallest cat. I  look like an orange tiger cat. I run fast, I jump like crazy, and I’m a big-time hunter.

Also, there’s mom and dad, two old white people that work for me.  They feed me, they rub my tummy, and they put medicine on me. Heck, they do just about anything I want, and I want a lot!         “Heck, I’m the Brat.”

Well, this is dad, and as you know I’m the lucky slave … that takes care of the Brat that is a cat and loves living dangerously. My cat, the Brat has florescent green eyes, and even as small as she is, her smile is as big and bodacious as can be!

“I’ve never been able to tell her, so I guess that is why she lives so dangerously.”

Now you’re probably thinking what could be so dangerous, for a small Brat that is a  CAT.  Well… when  I’m feeding the horses, the Brat will walk under the horses while they eat and stomp their feet to shake the flies off their legs. Just one wrong step and the little Brat becomes an orange pancake!

One day … I was taking a break, just sitting and watching the grass grow, when the Brat stumbled in front of me with a snake in her mouth, and the rest of the snake was wrapped around her! I had to immediately free her from the snake; the snake was five times  bigger than  her.

Then one day, she wasn’t done telling me what to do.

So…as I was entering into the big dog area…  that “nut” tried to jump from a tree that was outside the big dog area fence… to a tree inside the big dog area, but… the branch she landed on… was old, dead, and broken.  So, the Brat and the old broken tree branch fell to the ground.

NOW… the first thing I saw, and the Brat saw, and those two big dogs saw, was the “BRAT”… staring into the  eyes of  the two big dogs… that  just wanted to eat her!

Like a big dummy…  I grabbed her and held her   high in the air, and the two big dogs… then…  put their slobber and their muddy ole paws all over me.

I tossed the “BRAT”  outside the big dog fence area… and she was just fine.

But me, I was one big  dog slobbering muddy mess!

Then the Brat, the two big dogs, and me,  just had a  very good laugh.

 So… as time rolls on … we will always remember these siilly and very  good old times…that we had together and  being so happy!

The End
