The Lobster Solution

Kiko awoke in darkness and freaked out! Every single one of her gray hairs stood jaggedly on end, her claws stretched outward and beads of sweat leapt off of her tiny kitten head. She hadn’t fallen asleep here, wherever here was. She had been abducted and moved. Kidnapped! Kittennapped!

Kiko was normally a very brave cat. She had lived her whole life as a stray, wandering the streets of her neighborhood and taking care of herself without any assistance from a person who looked after her.

She was so smart and so resourceful that very often she would even take care of other animals when they had problems they couldn’t sort out on their own.

But right now she didn’t feel brilliant or brave, she just felt so very scared!

But fear is the worst friend you can ever have. It makes us dumb and clumsy. Kiko knew if she was going to figure this out she had to calm down, dig deep inside her little kitten bones, and find her courage.

Work the problem, she thought to herself in her sharp kitten mind. You’re a detective. Detect something!

Cats have excellent vision and are great at seeing in the dark. They only need about one-sixth the amount of light a person would need. So Kiko first focused on adjusting her eyes to the blackness.

Soon enough she could make out some rough shapes. Things, though she didn’t know what things, seemed to be piled high all around her.

Cats also have a sense of smell that’s twice as good as humans, so she took a big sniff of air through her nose. The sensation made her cough and gag! Okay, she thought. Clearly I’m in a garbage can or something. Yuck!

She found a wall (by accidently running into it with her head!) and felt her way along until she got to the corner. There she started tearing at the piles of trash until she had ripped away enough rubbish to let a little strip of light in through a gap in the side of the box. Not a garbage can, she thought, a garbage TRUCK.

Just as she had that realization, the walls started moving!

Many garbage trucks have the ability to shift their walls close together in order to crush the trash into smaller cubes. Kiko did not want to be crushed into any sort of cube!

She darted her eyes around the truck until she found a large, steel shelf that someone had thrown away.

She bolted over to one end of the shelf and lifted with all her might! It was enough to scoot the shelf into position and wedge it against the walls, stopping them from moving. But she knew that was only temporary.

“Having fun in there?” came a deep, evil voice from outside the truck. The voice belonged to Killer, a very mean-spirited bulldog that had recently moved into the neighborhood. “With you out of the picture,” he said, “I’ll be able to eat all the other animals! They’re lost without their leader.”

Kiko did not like Killer before this, but now she disliked him even more!

Ignore him, she thought.
