Kitten Blanket
KITTEN BLANKET
There is this strange lil' ginger tom floating in space amongst the stars and many-ringed planets with his head in a fishbowl. He looks quite surprise, the poor kitty, as if he was just newly whisked into being where he is right now. He desperately scratches the vacuum like a cat slipping down a slanted glass that is far too big for a cat to land on the ground soon. The more he sratches, the more space somersaults his arched body does. This cat is very lost, desperate and shocked. His orange striped fur is all ruffed up as he approaches a nervous breakdown. A cat must find some ground!
Suddenly, a huge curved holographic screen popped up right in front of the panicky cat. The blue screen shows the head of a golden-scaled snake with white underside. The ginger tom looks into the left eye of the snake as snakes had monoscopic vision, unlike cats and humans, which has binocular vision. The cat slows down his scratching and looked real deep into the eye of the snake. The cat saw something real familiar. It's as familiar as the kitten blanket he used to sleep in, until his owner—ahem—I mean caretaker took it away and dumped it into a bin full of rubbish. Well, the familiar thing in the snake's eye is absolutely not his kitten blanket. It's something else. A thing so old and close that you would think it's your undie with too many a hole, which you always forget to dispose of.
The snake shoots its forked tongue out, and that really scared the shit out of the cat. The ginger tom continues to scratch the vacuum, desperately searching for the ground even more fervously than ever. But the cat's in space. So all the motions he made are useless. It brings him to nowhere, but only the agonizingly slow somersaults. As his head turned away from the hologram, he saw an array of animals swimming the vacuum towards him. The cat slows down and sees that the multitude of species was gliding relaxingly towards the hologram. There were foxes, jackals, goats, wolves, dogs, big cats, wildcats, and domestic cats, dragons, and some creatures that defies all classification.
The cat turns his head around again and sees that the screen has now a different picture. It's the picture of a ferris wheel, and the animals are filling up the boxes, eager for it to start rotating, like it was the Titanic's maiden voyage.
And the cat has this feeling the ferris wheel is indeed the Titanic, although he doesn't really know why the ferris wheel has to be the Titanic. He tries to tell the animals that it would be a doomed ride! But sound can't really travel across vacuum, now can it? Oh, it's a fact, a hard scientific fact. And the fact is a space debri the size of a boulder flying towards the ginger tom. And he screams a scream that a cat could make in a fishbowl while floating in space.
And as suddenly as the weird hologram popping up in the middle of nowhere in the universe, a doberman puppy knocks the ginger tom out of the course of the flying debri. Everybody knows a dog is the natural enemy of a cat. But that's just not applicable in our times, isn't it? We've seen dogs living in the same house with a cat, and they do fine. But the ginger tom, still in a panicking mode, looks at the pup with wide eyes.
The cat and the pup then looked to where the debri is flying towards. And it's heading straight for the ferris wheel. BOOM! There were daisies in the air! White daisies everywhere! In the air? That's weird? 'Cause we were in space just now. The ginger tom has now squirmed out of his fishbowl and is now skipping all about the green meadow in the first day of true spring. There's sunshine but the cat sits next to the doberman pup, and looks up into the star-filled sky. White daisies are still snowing down from above.
"Look!" says the cat as he stands on both of his hindlegs the way a cat could.
"Look at what?" asks the pup.
"There's Alpha Centauri!" The cat points to a very faint white star.
"What about it"
"I read from an astronomy book that says Alpha Centauri has a planet that could probably support life like Earth."
"Life on another planet? Are you really buying that?"
"The book didn't say the planet IS supporting life."
"Oh. Okay."
The cat sits down, and began cleaning his fur. The pup sleeps.
