Just A Weird Thing

          It was big, slimy and downright ugly.  He looked mad too.  What he was mad about was anyone’s guess but Toni wasn’t sticking around to find out.  She got up and with one woosh she was halfway down the beach.  Fuzzy and Baby followed, out of pure caution mind you while the boys just kept stepping back, watching trying to figure out what the dude was going to do next.

          Paws was fascinated by the whole thing.  He wasn’t moving that far away but remained on guard- just in case he stretched out one of his arms.  “Hey dude, what’s the matter with you?”  he asked.

          He looked at Paws and just gave some kind of strange growl.  His head whipped around as if he was looking for Toni then he disappeared into the water as fast as he washed ashore. 

          What in the meow just happened?

          The cats were silent for a second and then Barney’s whiskers just twitched.  “Meeee-wow!”  he yowled.  “I wish Casey could’ve seen that.”

          “That was really scary,” Tippy meowed.  “I thought he was going to reach up and squeeze you,” he meowed to Paws.

          “Why did he do that?”  Paws asked Barney.

          Barney shrugged.  “How in the meow do I know?”
