The Heist

Stealth was her friend. Mom was guarding the prize pretty closely. It looked like she was going to spend all day cleaning the kitchen. Finally, mom left the kitchen.

Mittens hopped onto the counter, purring while approaching her prize. She ducked lower than the breakfast bar, so mom wouldn’t see her from the living room. Once she reached the jar she wrapped herself around it. She kicked at the lid hard with her back legs and it budged. Soon she was whisker deep in sweet catnip. Mittens overindulged losing track of time.

“Mittens!”

Mittens stopped rolling in the nip, busted.
