The Alley Cat Club

By the time mica, a retired alley cat, entered the side where the coolest alley cats were located, he was so exusted from the traveling that he paused to scratch one of his paws. He plopped down and found himself on the ground in a deep sleep. "Good day" a soft voice says. "Hello" says the voice again. Mica felt a touch onto his eye lid. Then his eyelid was opened by a cat, the calls into his hear and shouts out loud "are you ok?" he repeats another phase" waaakkkee up cat! By this time he was wide awake and wasn't very happy about being woken. If mica got mad, he would have clawed the cat to pieces, but since was in a strange place, he spared him. All of a sudden, a clan of cats came running towards mica and the other cat.

Mica stood his ground and to his nature of being a former leader, his instincts said to keep guard and protect the annoying cat that had woke him. To his knowledge, he knew these were alley cats and all alley cats are territorial. Mica cried "stay back." then a white as snow Persian cat came forward and cried "don't hurt him. I beg of you not to harm my only boy. Then mica loosened his tight muscles. He then apologized. He realized he belongs with this alley cat club and went on his way. Even before he could step, he saw that same little white fluff ball of a cat tugging on his paws.

Mica turned around and as he stood in awe of the little cat, he reminded him of when he was a father. He glanced at him and then to her. Finally he looked up at this alley cat club and thought to himself, "Hey, wait a minute. This club is different than mine. Matter of fact my club was the roughest group of alley cats known." "Hey cat what's your name?" a cat in the front asked. Another cat in the front row asked" where are you from? "Then way in the back called out" "who are you?" Soon there were questions galore. So many, that mica's mind was racing in a fast pace. They were so delighted to see a different type of cat. Then, as a leader would do, he stood up on his two back paws and asked to be silent so that he could gather some of their information first. Questions, questions, and more questions came following after another. Soon, they were pleased and invited him to stay with them.

To mica, it was like having his family back and soon he becomes their leader. He told stories to the kits, he threw parties and for no particular reason, he declared that they were and would be the coolest and more family based alley club. Word got around and wouldn't you know that the rough alley club came together to figure of how they were going to pull apart this so called family club. Late one night, when the stars came shimmering down, slept both leaders as well as the others cats. In the early morning, as the two clubs were waking, mica heard whispering and laughing coming from around the corner. He knew that laugh.

It was his old buddy, tom, who had become the new leader of his old club. Mica crept towards that corner of which he heard that laugh. He found himself surrounded by cats that looked like they've been thrown into a trashcan. Tom was right there in the front of all the cats. When they looked up, they cried "its mica!" tom turned around and gathered himself. He pranced towards mica and showed no fear. They began to chat so they could visit their old times from when mica was leader. A small cry came out from the corner "daddy?" it was micas little boys. The black and white one was named kovo. He was the strongest, while duke was fearless. He was all brown. Duke spoke up "who's this dad?" "Oh, my sons, this is an old friend. We go way back." "Do your boys even know who you are and what life was like as a leader living in alleys? "Dad?" Kovo and Duke asked their father. Then the other families joined to see what was causing so much commotion. Since mica was the leader again, he had to look like they were strangers invading there territory or he would have to tell all about his past. The problem was that the boys knew some truth to the story and that there was more to be told. He had to think fast.

Mica didn't want to show that he had cowered down and that this cat who used to be his friend were now enemies because mica stepped down while he took over. Mica was in the spotlight. He had good leader skills, but was not one to be known to fight or be tough enough to stand his ground and now he not only had family to protect, he had a lot of good followers. They were not only concerned, but were waiting on answers from their new leader. Did mica come all this way to only abandon them and his family? Would they forgive him? "I'm mica and you are in unwanted territory. " Mica strongly replied back. "I know who mica!" His ex-friend yelled back. Mica continued" you are not welcome here and therefore must leave. "Oh really, were not budging. Now know this mica, who thinks he can be a brave leader, we will take over! First I think you should tell your pack the truth about you and where you came from.

A very soft voice came passing through the crowd and appeared and told them he was family and no matter what happens, he was not only leader , but a good father and great to his large family." it was Lilly, his wife who was white as snow and purer than water ever could be. The cat stepped forward as did mica. So, mica you did well so far and she's my type for sure. No. you will not take her or anything else away from me and I mean it. He yelled in deep voice. He was not losing again. Not this time. "Oh really and how are you going to stop me and my pack of fearless cats." He giggled just then, it came to mica, that fighting wouldn't work and he'd have to come up with a very different tactic.

Mica stood up bravely. Hey bro, yes he is my brother and I will not fight you. Lilly "what, he's family?" She questioned him. Lily ill explain later." mica replied quickly and turned towards his brother who obviously wanted to fight. I know fighting is your only answer, but mine is not." so, mica, what do you have in mind?" his brother asked. "We take a test." now mica knew more friends and they weren't all just cats. So, mica what's this test?" "Whoever can scare a dog away will be able to stay and run this territory. Mica knew his brother didn't scare easy, but he knew his brother well. He hated dogs. "What, that's impossible. "Micas brother sounded frightened. "What, are you scared to take on a dog. Mica tried not to grin. "Again you can't be serious." Aren't you afraid?" Why wouldn't you just fight?" His brother questioned him as to hopefully change micas mind, but mica was more than serious.

Mica gathered his best cats to to get one the dogs that also lived here in this ally, which this dog and the cats were friends. Mica then got another one of the dogs. This dog was big. His name was bruits, which was not true at all. He was as sweet as candy and Bruits would be assigned to his brother. They sound for the dogs and off they went. Mica already had his dog in a Conner. As for his brother, well, he was long gone and the others trailed behind. They all laughed together and as far as micas so told mystery story. That was forgiven and they all lived in harmony.
