They Go Too Far

It's late. The human came home late, but now she has her contacts out and is barefooted, and going down the hall she steps on something soft and faux-furry - obviously a cat toy, yes? No. She picks it up, and it's a... puppet! An ancient hand puppet, a tiger puppet, with green glass eyes, half-torn-off ears and an unravelling orange yarn nose. Ancient, grubby and adorable, and, for many many years, perched on a dresser untouched by cats or "kittens". Until tonight!
