Watch out for the green snake

my groggy eyes open...the tension of my kitty bones were tight, so this orange little me takes a big yawn followed by an all pressure stretch to relax the bones.1

As I come to mind that I am not in my little dream anymore, I am starting to realize that I am not cuddled up to mommy, my brothers and sisters are not whining to me...its way too quiet....as I start to look around, hey, looks way too familiar when I am standing on the table looking through the window.....I am outside in the backyard !!2

Quickly with all my hair standing straight up in shock, I start looking around in the tall grass, I see the tall trees, and those ammusing birds that make their squaking noises so much.3

How did I get out here while I was taking my nap ...then the rememberance comes when the 12 year old girl owner Sarah gave me a bath with that long green snake that spits out water that the humans call a garden hose.4

----------------------------------------------------------------5

Now its all coming to memory.....my brothers and sisters were in the kitchen playing, as I was playing tag with my eyes closed and I hit a large bucket that was filled with soap & water, I remember hitting it very hard hurting my nose, when I opened my eyes I saw this strange bucket come alive and start tipping back and forth splashing water from the top,I tried jumping out of the way, but I was apparently too slow because the weirdest thing happened...this bucket fell over and I got wet with a nasty taste in my mouth of what the humans called "soap".6

Several of us kittens started crying and meowing to our mommy, well my favorite master, Sarah came around the corner and picked me up personally.7

Oh how I enjoyed her company...I started purring (Humans seem to like that noise) and tried rubbing affection on Sarah's shirt, but as wet as I was, she scolded me !8

My now angry master took me outside and made this long green snake spit at me constantly with its cold forceful water ability !9

I got mad & scared so I started meowing really loud trying to scare it....it didn't work, Sarah just held on to me tight....so then I started moving my four legs back and forth and clawing with everything I got trying to get this snake away from me, trying to get my masters attention....It didnt work, my master must have been confused cause she held me tighter so I started clawing faster in every direction, I remember my paw scratching the snake, I remember my claw scratching my master ( I remember her scolding me some more) , now I remember....the snake finally went away and I must have been very exhausted cause I remember the heat from the sky feeling allot better than the snake that spits...and this heat felt so warm that I must have been very drowsy and fallen asleep...because now I am awake, and Im not cold, yet just damp.10

-----------------------------------------------------------------11

I slowly looked around shaking each paw out with every step I took, making my move cautiously forward.12

As I slowly stepped forward, I looked around for that green spitting snake. As I crept forward, the coast was clear. 13

I hear my brothers & sisters behind this tall building... I see that glass wall where I can see outside...but I am outside ! As I continue to look at this building I see that strange thing the humans call a door.14

As I run towards this door not wanting to be caught by any creature (especially the snake) my master's master wich she calls dad actually picks me up from behind and mumbles that all he wanted was to come home for lunch and he sees a wet cat outside. ( I'm not wet, I'm damp)15

We enter my house, and I see all my brothers and sisters meowing for joy...I see my master looking at me and I get scared, I dont want to get in trouble....yet she isn't mad, yet very happy as she snuggles me and kisses my pink nose and told me not to get wet again....boy that was easy for her to say, she didnt get spit at by a green snake !16
