Page 14 - Tomcats in Paradise
P. 14

Just then Eddie Puss stumbled through the rhododendrons. “Rip
        your  heart  out!”  he  howled,  and  fell  on  Levi’s  flanks,  kicking  and
        biting.
          The startled black cat twisted away frantically, hissing and spitting.
        “Back off, man! You’ve got no reason to ambush me! Stop it or I’ll
        slice off your ear!”
          Billy  Bob  smirked  at  this  discomfiture  of  his  rival—but  his
        expression changed when the wild-eyed  calico turned his wrath on
        the other tomcat in his field of vision.
          “Tear your face off!” screamed Eddie, and sprang at the albino’s
        throat. Billy Bob knew his adversary: he leaped high in the air and
        came down on Eddie’s bad hind leg, clawing at the scar tissue on the
        twisted limb. Eddie Puss snarled in rage and pain, and then backed
        off, shielding his hindquarters.
