Kumquat awoke and wondered, would this be the day? Would today be the day he would brave the upstairs landing and pass by Puck the StairMaster, unofficial Gatekeeper to the Sacred Spot (a brand new Kumquat-sized cat cube).
Kumquat's stumpy little legs carried him up the stairs until he was only one step below Puck. Kumquat and Puck faced off in a shifty-eyed Eastwood-esqe stare down that would have done Clint proud. Puck stared down upon little Kumquat, and Kumquat's eyes stared back and squinted up at his nemesis.
Would today be the day that Kumquat dared brave the Stair Master? Yes, today was the day. Mustering every ounce of courage in his 9-lb body, Kumquat sprang forward.
Whack. Twenty pounds of feline fury swatted at Kumquat and down the stairs he went. Today would not be the day. Maybe tomorrow ….
Or maybe he would just sit at the stairs and whine until someone carried him past the Puck.
