My Scaredy-Cat Brother
I'm pretty much fearless. That's a well-known fact. But did you also know that, as I am to fearlessness, my fur-brother is to fearfulness? It's true.
Case in point: a knock at the front door. The Door Opener walked over to open the door (because that's what she's good at). From halfway across the room, Zephyr peeked his head slowly around the sofa to see what was going on. When he saw who had knocked, he tore off across the house, his feet spinning out from under him, desperate to escape the evil figure he saw at the door.
And exactly who was it at the door?
A Girl Guide* selling cookies.
Yes, my fur-brother is terrified of 9-year old girls bearing boxes of their chocolately mint delectables.
I'd be more mortified, but I'm too busy trying to knock one of the boxes off the kitchen counter so it'll break open and I can sample the contents.
*Americans probably know them as Girl Scouts.

I know you'd like to test one of those tasty cookies Musette, but just remember that chocolate contains theobromine, which is toxic to cats ( and to dogs - but you probably could care less about that! ) I'm sure, should you accidently break open a box, that the Door Opener and Can Opener would be happy to jump in and scarf up the contents to save you. Yes, it would be sacrifice, but I know they would do it for you.
I'm glad you're a brave kitty Musette, but there's also something to be said for caution as well. I think it's good to be cautiously brave myself! And mom wants those cookies BAD! She loves those!!
don't eat those cookies, they're bad for you!!! ask for a treat instead!
Alright, alright, I'll leave them alone. But if those girls ever bring around boxes of Choco-Tuna Juice Cookies, I don't care what you people say - I'm eating them!
That is just like MY brother, Jack. But he is scared of oven mitts too...go figure.
