Inappropriate Cat Toys
Ray walked into Sara’s quarters and without a word held out his arms.
She handed him the cat.
He put the animal to his face and they stared at each other for moment.
Then another moment.
Ray and Sara began to smile.
“Well done Gideon, you did it…. Oh no,” Sara said as Ray closed his eyes and began to breathe in. She sighed and took the cat from him as he began to sneeze.
He walked out of the quarters mumbling, “How hard can it be? It should be simple science!”
Sara looked at the cat who blinked innocently.
“Are you sure you’re not doing it on purpose?”
The kitten patted her cheek and looked around for the toy they had been playing with.
Jax and Mick had created a tiny doll that remarkably replicated the ATOM suit. Carter had tied a hangman’s noose on it with a stick and string and it had become Sweetums favorite toy.
Sara kissed his downy head and flicked the toy as he scrambled to chase it.
“It’s a good thing Ray doesn’t hold a grudge,” she muttered as the cat skittered madly after the toy.
