Lil’ Petey felt like he was stuck in a haze. Like he was floating between sleep and awake. It was comfortable, so he stayed that way.
19 days earlier
Lil’ Petey finally gathered the strength to wake up. He blinked to clear his eyes. Where was he?
18 days earlier
He was in a cage. Why was he in a cage? Where was his Papa?
17 days earlier
He was a prisoner. Who was keeping him prisoner, and why?
15 days earlier
He finally caught a glimpse of his capturer. He looked like he was wearing a white science coat…
12 days earlier
“Let's go, cat. We’re going to experiment on you.”
They took him into a bright white room. They laid him on a white table and strapped him down. The lights were so bright, why were they so bright…
They injected something into him, and that's the last thing he remembered.
11 days earlier
When he woke up, everything hurt. He had no idea what they had done to him. But he hated it.
10 days earlier
“Why do you call me cat?” He was surprised to hear his own voice. It sounds so small and weak. “I have a name. My name is Lil’ Petey.”
“Oh, it speaks? Interesting…”

Where was his Papa?
5 days earlier
Every other day they took him into the white room and did something to him. They let him have a day to rest, then did it again.
He cried. He cried for Dog Man, he cried for Chief, he cried for Sarah, and he cried for 80-HD, but most of all he cried for his Papa. He screamed at the top of his lungs for him.
Where were his friends? When would they come to save him? It should seem like they should have come by now. Didn’t they care? Didn’t they want him back?
3 days earlier
What if they never came? What if he was alone forever?
Present day
If they weren’t going to come to him, he would come to them.
When they came to get him he ran out. He had no idea where he was in the city or even the world but he still had to try to escape.
To his surprise he was in the middle of town. He knew the way home from here!
He ran down the streets as fast as he could, with the scientist-people trailing behind him. He knew they were faster than him, they were much bigger after all, but he had a head start. He hoped against hope that he could make it to his house.
He could see it up ahead. It still read 'Petey and son'. He smiled, speeding up. He was going to make it! He was going to-
No! Just before he made it to the barred fence, his fur got caught on a tree. He could still make it if he untangled himself in time-
“No! No! No, I’m almost there, no!” he yelled desperately, but a Scientist caught him just as he paused to untangle himself. The Scientist yanked him back from the tree, pulling out a bit of his deep orange fur. “No…,” he cried.
“Not so fast,” said the Scientist menacingly. “I’ve got you now.” He injected Lil’ Petey with something, and he started to feel woozy.
“I’m sorry Papa…”
