Page 99 - Tomcats in Paradise
P. 99

Tires  squealing,  the  vehicle  accelerated  and  quickly  rounded  a
        corner. The cats were thrown violently from side to side, trying vainly
        to gain some purchase on the shapeless canvas enclosing them. To
        make matters worse, it was getting extremely stuffy inside the sacks:
        Eddie Puss could barely find the breath to hurl a curse. But even his
        execrations  were  drowned  out  by  a  new,  more  ominous  sound:  a
        high-pitched  wailing  siren,  understood  by  the  cats  as  the  cry  of  a
        monstrous angry feline on their trail.
          The car swerved and darted, piling cat upon cat in a howling heap.
        Then it stopped abruptly. The siren grew louder, and then tailed off
        into the distance.
