“Let’s have grapes! Grapes are awesome. Plus, they’re a vitamin food, and vitamins are good for energy. Does your family want to adopt a cat?” Shai asked.

“I wish! But Mommy’s allergic to cats. And my dad’s apartment doesn’t allow pets. I know because I tried to adopt a dog once. Are you sure your kitty’s still hanging around in your yard? You said you haven’t seen it since Saturday, right? Maybe it went back to wherever it came from.”

“Maybe?”

Shai rinsed grapes in the metal thingamabobber with the small holes in it like she had seen Momma do a billion zillion times. She dumped the grapes into a blue bowl and offered some to Emmie.

Munching on a grape, Emmie walked up to the window and peered outside. “Um, Shai? I was wrong.”

“What?”

“I think I see your cat!”

“What?”

Shai made a beeline for the window. She followed Emmie’s gaze.

The brown-and-white kitty was back! It was in the vegetable garden, half-hidden behind the sugar pea plants.

Shai’s eyes zeroed in on the plate of Tuna Delight that she had left out last night. It didn’t look as though it had been touched.

Why wasn’t the kitty eating the cat food? Was it having tummy troubles?

Ignoring the tuna, the cat moved out from behind the sugar peas and made its way toward the feathery carrot tops.

This was the clearest view Shai had ever had of the cat. She could see that it had long ears . . . and a white cotton-ball tail . . . and longish back legs.

“It’s not a stray kitty. It’s a stray bunny!” Shai exclaimed.
