Trapped! (2008)
“Kitty num-num topped the list, followed closely by Alex’s kitty massages. There was the sunny spot under the dining room table, and the c-a-t words in the dictionary, and the joy of catapulting to the top of the entertainment center. He had not yet had a chance to caterwaul and catapult for his family at the same time, and he had looked forward to performing that new trick.
He would miss sitting on a lap while his family watched a movie, and he would miss eating some of their popcorn, even if t...hey were a bit stingy about the amount they shared with him. He would miss his morning crunchies, and washing Lizzy’s ears, and having a cat fit when the house got too quiet. He would even miss Benjie’s spy games.

But even as he had that thought, Pete knew it wasn’t true.MoreLess
