My squinting eyes pierce into human dude’s existence as he hovers over me, reaching for a handle which appears to bring the forceful waterfall to a halt. I push myself through the warm water surrounding me and make an effort to stand against the cool wall. Human dude pulls out a stool diminutive to his size, he groans as he bends his knees to make contact between the stool and his bum. He lets out a drawn out sigh but smiles once meeting eyes with me. “Let’s get you cleaned up.” human dude announces, all while reaching for some bottle to the right of the stool.
As I remember that I should be making my escape, human dude begins to rub an unpleasant, slimy substance into my fur. The substance has a heavenly fragrance but I honestly wouldn’t enjoy trading my natural stink for it unless it’s edible. Human dude actively massages the unknown substance all over my slinky body, making it quite difficult for me to even think about escaping. I begin to notice large amounts of suds forming all around me the longer human dude bathes me.
He abruptly stops and hovers over me once again, but wrapping his fingers around a styrofoam cup this time. I make my way back to the wall of the tub and stand up as human dude dunks the cup into the surrounding water. I only am able to make a couple of mediocre attempts to jump out before human dude set my body into the center of the tub. I tightly shut my eyes as he slowly pours the water, ridding the suds from my fur. I move my legs through to water back to the edge of the tub, and the same thing repeats until the suds from my fur are floating around in the water around me.
I huff before human dude proudly proclaims, “Alright, I think you’re done. Now, let me just find a towel.” He steadily bends his knees straight while holding his back. I mischievously stare as he steps out of sight. Immediately, I once again get myself to the wall which is cold to the touch. I peer over the edge, I still can’t see human dude. I frantically struggle to get a grip onto the edge of the tub until I’m successful. “Yes!” I happily exclaim to myself then look back at the dirty water and grimace before hopping down.
I quickly scurry pass the slightly opened door, my feet sliding with every step. I enter the shop and shake away the water dripping from my fur. “Now, what’s next?” I implishly ask myself. My nose catches a strong but sweet fragrance in the air. I close my eyes, allowing only my nose to guide the way. I lightly bump into something. My lids shoot open and I step back enough to realize that I’m standing at human dude’s desk. Is that really where the smell is coming from?
I take a few more steps back and notice the top part of what seems to be a cup. “Hell yes!” I lightly exclaim, I still take a look around to make sure no one heard. This is good, but, how exactly do I get myself up there? I walk around the desk to see a heavy piece of clothing draped over human dude’s chair. “Aha!” I exclaim with my discovery, it’s just low enough for me to climb! I hastily skip towards what appears to be a coat and begin to climb.
As I use the clothing sleeve to my advantage, I can’t help but notice that it is slipping from the chair. In a panic, I fasten my climbing abilities and make it onto the chair in time to watch the coat slip onto the floor. I look down at it for a couple of seconds, relieved that I’m not down there with it. I place my front feet on the arm of the chair, getting a better look of the items and paperwork spread across the surface. My eyes meet with the cup, and I become overjoyed, practically jumping for it.
My nose skims across the rim of the ceramic mug. With no doubt, this is where the beautiful smell is coming from. Of course, I knock the cup over watching the light brown liquid taint everything in its path. Beautiful.
I lick the liquid soaking up into the fur of my paws. I shake my head in mild disgust. I lick my lips and the liquid begins to taste really good. How weird? I start to lick at the strange tasting drink. It’s so hard for me to decide if I enjoy this or not, but I’ve worked so hard for it; I would like to enjoy it. Before I can continue to enjoy my reward, the main shop door opens.
My eyes shoot to the door to expose a giant lady with the face of absolute horror. She covers her mouth just as human dude comes from the back, towel in one hand. “Oh no.” Human dude mutters, disappointed. In a flash, I jump onto the chair and down to the floor, using the piece of clothing as a cushioned landing spot. I skid in place for a second before my feet catch a grip on the floor to make a run for it. I can hear the shop door open then close and human dude telling the lady not to leave.
Within a second later, I can hear human dude’s shoes squeaking in my direction. I run in the direction of a dark corner only to find Zelly, immediately hissing at me. I turn around just as I make eye contact with her. I frantically try to scope out a suitable hiding place. The other animals make start to create a large amount of noise, due to the amount of commotion I’m causing. I catch a glimpse of a gap between the wall and some gigantic but empty tanks, hopefully just big enough for me to slip through. My body slips as I make a sharp turn, running in the direction of the small gap. I squeeze my body between the wall and tank, entering a dark snug void.
There is not at all, enough space for me to turn around but I can still hear and sense that human dude is behind me. He struggles to reach for me, but his arm doesn’t fit. “Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Please come out sweetheart?” Human dude calls out to me. I ignore him and lick the remaining liquid from my paws. Human dude pulls at the tank but it’s far to heavy and I hear a couple of popping noises emit from his back. Human dude groans in pain and I hear him walk away. I feel a little bit sorry for the guy, but at the same time, I’m having having an enormous amount of fun!
Not much later, I make out human dude’s squeaky footsteps. His face appears on the opposite end of the tank human dude begins to coax me over with what appears to be a paste of some sort. I squeeze my way through the tight gap and follow the sweet smell. I make my way to his hand but he pulls it back further, enough for me to have to expose my body to reach the paste. “Clever human.” I think to myself. I give in to the temptation and come out of my hiding place.
I lick away the paste and human dude picks me up, wrapping a towel around me. “Did you like that?” He asks. “It has all of the vitamins you need to keep you healthy and help you grow.” Human dude explains with a smile. He dries my fur up and wipes away the now sticky substance away from my paws with a moist napkin. “You can’t be running around the shop and spilling my coffee though, so back in your cage you go.” He adds. I roll my eyes at his remark and he places me back in into my abode. “If I can get this mess you’ve made cleaned up in time, I might let you out to play with Lion.” Human dude tells me as he closes the barred door.
Human dude walks away, exposing Lion giving me a slight death stare. It’s hard to tell what he’s thinking. Lion smiles at me. I give a back an obviously forced smile. He scoffs then flicks his tail into the air as he walks into his box bed. “Whatever, I had the time of my life!” I gloat to Lion. He doesn’t acknowledge me.
