Flash Fiction #719 -- Zette Versus the Cat Toy

 


I bought my furry friends a powered ball that runs around bouncing off things.   They enjoyed chasing it for a few minutes.  Then it disappeared.

It didn't turn up for months. It still had power when I pulled it out of a dark corner.  I turned it on and let it go.

The cats were not interested.  They watched it bounce against the office door.  Several times.  

Pound. Pound pound. Pound pound pound pound.

Repeat.

I crossed to grab it -- and it leaped at me and made a run for it.  I chased it.  The cats were entertained at last.
