Young Tigakat Cleo had no idea what the fates had in store for her.
True, the sight of all her belongings, (food bowls, litter tray, scratching post and toys) neatly packed by the door, and the ominous presence of her travelbox, should have been warning enough. Plus the fact that each member of the household had felt an overwhelming urge to give her extra pats and cuddles throughout the long, tension-filled day.
Even the arrival of the strangers gave her no clue.
They weren’t really strangers. She had met them several days before, and they had seemed quite nice. They had spoken gently to her, and tried to pat her. And then they had spent some time talking to the lady of the house, and gone away again. But now they were back, and Cleo was being put into the cage! And they were taking all her things! And the lady was saying “Goodbye Cleo.â€
Before she could say “Help! I’m being catnapped!†, Cleo was being bundled into a car, cage and all, and sped away. The stranger lady held tightly to the cage, trying to stop it from veering madly from side to side, as they sped away from Cleo’s home and family and friends. She was alone with these people she didn’t know, and cried to be released and allowed to return to the world she belonged in. But they took no notice.
But all was not as it seemed. The strangers, far from being fiends incarnate, were actually Cleo’s new furry godparents, sent to aid her in an amazing transformation. Cleo, who had spent her short life as a suburban kitty, was about to become Tigakat Cleo, a sophisticated, city-dwelling diva. A cat with her own website, and a blog that she would update as and when she found time in her busy schedule.
Her adventure was just beginning…
