The Gift Return Caper
by damommy
“PC, why are you putting your Christmas gift in that plastic bag? Making up a new game? You always think of the funniest things.”
“No, Endeavour, I’m not making up a new game, you doofus. I’m returning it. The toy basket is full of these darn catnip mice and we don’t need another one. I want something different, maybe a battery-operated mouse or a laser beam to chase.”
“You think the store is going to let you wander around without a human? Not a chance.”
“I won’t be wandering around. I’ll be making an exchange. When they see how well-behaved I am and how intelligent, they’ll welcome my business, and I have the perfect disguise.”
“Cats don’t wear costumes, PC. We’re much too dignified for that nonsense. How are you going to pull this off?”
“Glad you asked because I’ve got it all figured out. I’ll wear Damommy’s long coat and hide my face with a big floppy hat. No one will suspect I’m not her.”
Putting on the coat, he realizes the hat is out of his reach.
“Endeavour, can you jump up there and knock that hat down? I can’t quite reach it. Yep, you’re almost there. Now a little to the left.”
“PC, Endeavour, what are you two up to now?! Get down from there and leave that hat alone. You have enough toys to play with without bothering my things. Now, shoo!”
“RUN, PC! We’re busted. What are we going to do now?”
“We’re going to add this *!@# mouse to the rest and forget it. Besides, I just realized . . . we can’t reach the doorknob.”
