Meeting A Furred Friend

Safiye walked into Magical Menagerie's, the clatter and chatter of animals filled the air. She spotted a couple of Siamese cats lounging around the sunlight. Just like Murrlin she thought. In near by cages owl hooted, Safiye HATED seeing birds in cages it was upestting to her . Then she spotted rats.

"The squeaky little things," she grinned.

Just then she spotted a ragdoll cat, but slipped out of her view just as quickly as it had came. She wondered again, how Murrlin was doing. Was he sleeping in the sunshine in the cottige? Or playing in the garden? You could never know with Murrlin.

"Ah! So you've seen Ghost?" Asked a voice from behind her. She turned around to saw a boy in overalls leaning on the side of a table, he was grinning ear to ear. With that look on his face, and how he was leaning on the table, gave an feeling of cockyness.

"Ghost? Who's Ghost?" She wondered out loud.

"The cat 'o course!" The boy rolled his eyes, "Hard to please, just came to Menagrie's a couple 'o months ago. She's pretty but she-"

Safiye had already turned the corner, she had made up her mind, she was going to find Ghost. Ghost turned out to be no where in sight, and Safiye already looked everywhere. Twice! She sighed, "Ghost fitts her name swell." As she was about to leave she felt some thing rubbing her legs, "Ghost?" She scooped up the ragdoll.

"Are ya goin' to keep 'er?" The boy asked, sounding excited.

"Yes, I'm going to keep her but not just yet." Saifye replied, "Maybe later."

"Ok," The boy shrugged and walked off. Leaving Safiye and Ghost alone.

"Murrr." Purred Ghost, jumping out of Safiye's arms and landing on the floor. Then she scurried off.

"Do you have to get ready?" Safiye jokingly asked following the cat three feet.

Ghost nodded then ran to a pile to boxes and jumped into one. Did that cat just nod at me? Safiye thought. Or, was that just the light tricking me? She turned and headed out of Magical Menagerie's and out onto the street. Behind her, in Magical Menagerie's a cat's fluffy white tail poked out from underneath the window, it hung there for a minute, before it's owner headed off, making the fluffy tail leave it's window towards the street, and follow it's master. Was that Ghost's? Maybe. But is there something strange going on in Magical Menagerie's? I'm very sure of that, but you can never be sure with a cat called Ghost.
