Trixie’s sensitive nose wriggled and her eyes opened sleepily to survey her surroundings. Something had changed… but what? Rising to her feet, she gave a deep, languid stretch, then followed her nose.

Harvey rolled across her path and she batted the hamster ball out of the way with a hiss of annoyance — couldn’t he tell she was on the prowl? She could smell the special thing more clearly now, tickling her senses.

The Catnip Mouse™ was back! It had eluded her capture last time…this time, it wouldn’t be so lucky. She sank into a crouch … … … then sprang!

There’s hope for humanity in this drabble from Kim Zuch!
