At a decided disadvantage because of his leg, Eddie Puss arrived at
the tracks just in time to see Levi Katz racing away. Eddie snarled,
and kept on hobbling, right into the street. The outraged truck driver,
about to resume his progress, was startled by a second cat crossing
his path. He cursed and threw a half-empty can of beer at Eddie.
It narrowly missed his tail, but bounced and sent a shower of
Budweiser over the hapless triped. “I’ll kill you!” he screeched at the
man—but kept on running. As he hit the muck-filled gutter on the
other side of the street he caught a glimpse of Levi scuttling around
the corner. Eddie Puss, alcohol steaming off his greasy fur, kept up
the pursuit.
