“Then I guess you boys better open them and see what’s inside.”

“What do you think it is?” Tae asked as we sat on the porch to open them.

“I dunno.” We ripped into them like it was Christmas morning. I loved prezzies, but when did Daddy get the time to buy me something?

“Meow!” Tae squealed, holding up a black cat suit. “Thank you, Daddy, now I get to be a kitty too.”

That made me unwrap even faster. “Me too! Daddy, how did you find one to match Sabrina?”

“Uncle Chuck found a designer who does custom suits. What else is in there?”

“There’s more?”

“Ears!” Tae shouted.

“Paws!” I hollered when I held them up. “Ooohhh, and a tail. We’re gonna look so good.”

“Daddy, can we wear them now?” Tae asked. Well, more like whined, but I was just as excited as he was. Would Sabrina freak out when she saw me or would she play with me?

“Tonight, after you’ve showered,” Uncle Chuck said. “You don’t want to get your new costume all sweaty, do you?”

“No, Daddy. But it’s sooo cute, I just love it. Thank you, Daddy.”

“You’re welcome, husband boy,” Uncle Chuck teased him back for calling him husband Daddy before.

“Thank you, Daddy.”

“You’re welcome, Angel. Why don’t you take the box inside and put it somewhere safe while we finish up out here.”

I went inside, and Sabrina came right to me, meowing. “Hello, pretty girl. Guess what? I get to be a kitty with you later.”

“Meow.”

Hopefully that was meow for yes and not meow for a cat fight. I gave her a couple of treats then went back out to help Daddy and Uncle Chuck clean up for the day.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen you move this fast, Angel,” Daddy teased. I was super excited to play kitty cat with my kitty cat.

“I’m ready to play with Sabrina, Daddy.”

“Shower and dinner first, Angel.”

Hmph, Daddies were difficult.

“Did you just grunt at your Daddy?”

“No, I grunted at myself.” Sorta. Kinda. But I wasn’t a bad boy and didn’t plan to ever be one.

“Right.” Shoot, Daddy wasn’t buying that either. “We’ll talk later.”

Ugh. I hoped that wasn’t out loud. Guess I’d know later when I was sitting in the corner instead of having kitty time.

“Slow down, Angel, you’re gonna choke.” Everything was working against me today. Gotta shower first, gotta eat dinner first. All I wanted to do was play with Sabrina. One of the many positives to this large family set-up we had was dishes and the kitchen were cleaned up fast.

“Now, Daddy?”

Daddy rolled his eyes. Was there a punishment for Daddies who were naughty? “Let’s go.”

“Thanks for dinner!” I shouted as I ran out the door, across the lot, and right into our bedroom which was where Daddy found me half naked.
