Cats on Tuesday...and ABC Wednesday (C is for Cavorting Cats!)

Because they considered my last Cats on Tuesday post to be, well, rubbish, the cats have written and starred in a small entertainment for you, so without further delay...

Welcome to... 'Drama in the Garden!'

It was a sunny day in the garden, and the Buddha had sent his Disciple on a quest 

to find the Pigeon Feather of Power...

'My search is over, I have found the Pigeon Feather! Peace and harmony
will reign forever once the Buddha has this...' 

(Concerned camera operator: 'Pepper, where's the rest of the pigeon?'

Pepper: Oh don't worry about it, it will be fine after it's had counselling, 

and stop spoiling my scene!')

But...

'Not so fast little cat! I'll have that feather!

I am going to use it to become invisible, creep up on

the Buddha and bury him under the rose bush!

No more Mr Billy Buddha in MY garden. 

And once he's gone I will use my amulet of evil* to become master of the universe!'

(cue evil genius laugh).

(*Charlie's explanatory note - that silver thingy on my collar)

'Help! Help! Stop him someone!'

The Buddha's Disciple ran like the wind to try and get to the Buddha 

before the Evil Genius Cat.

But try as she might she couldn't overtake him...

Is this the end for the Buddha? Will beings finding peace

and enlightenment become a thing of the past...?

Residents of the garden looked on appalled as

cosmic harmony was threatened by the Evil Genius and his dastardly plan...

(got to say that's damn fine acting by Mrs P!) 

One brave bunny tried to stand between the Buddha and danger,

but he was cruelly hurled out of the way like a dandelion seed

by the now invisible Evil Genius...

(No bunnies were actually hurt during the making of this...)

Suddenly, when all hope seemed lost, an Heroic Cat

launched himself into the fight!

... and with a whisk of his magical tail, 

flicked the feather away from the Evil Genius forcing him to 

re-appear and go into hiding behind the shed!

But wait... 

the feather had vanished!  

Where would the Buddha's Disciple

ever find a replacement for something so powerful?

Once again the Heroic Cat came to the rescue.

'This flower is so powerful that its name may not be spoken by any but the most
enlightened beings, give this instead...'

'Brave stranger, you are my hero and I and the universe thank you!
I'll take this to the Buddha now!'

And so it came to pass that

cosmic karmic order reigned once more,
all was as it should be

and everyone was happy...

Well, almost everyone...

'CURSES! Those pesky kids

have ruined my evil plan!'

'But... I will return...'

(Cue evil genius laugh once more).

The cats would like to acknowledge the input of Laloofah for the 'amulet of evil' idea and also the inspiration for the flower that must not be named!

Those that can't get enough of the cats' thespian abilities might be interested in their Halloween Devil auditions
