"Wanna sniff my butt Big Boy? No need to stand on ceremony. We're 18 million miles from Patterson New Jersey you know."" Kibblekat rubbed his eyes in disbelief.. He looked again. Yep. It was not just his imagination, but a REAL cat in outer space, and SHE was CUTE. An opportuinity of a lifetime! Go for it, an inner voice said. So Cupcake and Kibblekat began to travel together. She showed him beautiful galaxies of unlimited dimension. The brightest lights. He got to know her better. She waa actually an alleycat from Patterson NJ who had been shut up in a dusty attic, so she had spent hours reading the stacks of old National Geographic magazines, pouring over them, learning of faraway lands and other species, nebulae and galaxies, quarks and black holes. She found that world that had been denied her, so when she got her moment, she escaped, but was soon killed by a larger cat, and that is when this great new life started in space. Being resourceful (a characteristic of tabbies), ,she figured out that you can stick your tail in a cosmic windstorm which then lets you travel through time. So she taught him to do this too, and he quickly caught on. Soon he was catching windstorms from left, then from right, and once in a while you could catch an updraft, which as especially exciting and dangerous. Soon he was figuring out his own special moves to impress her. Then, she taught him how to perch on top of the Hubble telescope so you could take a nap, as it wheeled thru space snapping pictures of the universe like a cosmic paparazzi.
Cupcake taught him how to rummage through the garbage behind the International Space Station for half empty tins of Beluga Caviar discarded by the Russians. Later, she showed Kibble Kat how to use black holes in space as a giant litter box and watch as your nuggets got swooshed down, disappearing into the immense vacuum cleaner of space and time.
