Where’s CeCe
Another alley and more of those big green monsters. Don’t they ever empty those things? As the wild bunch wandered down the alleyway, they could see trash everywhere. At least this might make the food search easier and safer.
“Humans really go through this pizza stuff.”
“How do you know that?”
“Look at all the boxes that have that on top.”
Alex was right. There were piles of pizza boxes all over the place. But there was too much activity to check them out. They searched for, and found a safe haven. Just to ensure their safety, they took turns sleeping. After CeCe’s troubles with the dumpsters, Alex and Amanda decided to let her have the first nap.
While CeCe slept, Alex slipped out to scout around. That would make the food run faster and safer. He was gone for quite awhile. Amanda was starting to get worried. She was getting ready to wake up CeCe when he finally made it back.
“What took so long?”
“I was on my way back when another kitty from someplace around here, started coming towards me. I went quite a ways in the other direction just in case I was seen.”
“Ok. Did he follow you?”
“No, he didn’t see me and I watched him leave in a different direction.”
“Good. At least you’re safely back.”
By this time CeCe was awake. That allowed Amanda and Alex to get some much-needed rest. The two kitties curled up next to each other and were sound asleep in no time. They knew they could keep both eyes closed because CeCe was on lookout.
“Where’s CeCe?!?”
“I don’t know. She was just laying in front of us, wasn’t she?”
“I thought so. Alex, we have to go find her!”
Alex had scouted around the area so he had some ideas of where to look. At first he wanted to go alone, but Amanda wouldn’t let him. They would work as a team. Alex led Amanda over to the large pile of boxes. There were signs CeCe had been there but she wasn’t in sight. They followed her scent as far as they could but soon the scent of other kitties made that impossible. It was dangerous but the decided to call for her. Soon…
“Mandy?”
“CeCe?”
They found her hiding between some garbage bags.
“Where did you go?”
“I thought I could be like Alex and get something to eat.”
“CeCe, Alex has a lot of experience. He knows the signs. If you want to go on these adventures with us, you stay with us, understand?”
“Yes, I promise.”
CeCe was safe. They went back to their hiding place. After a good rest, they were ready for their next adventure.
