Prologue
The following 16 cat tales have been thoughtfully narrated to me by Freddy the Cat.
 
I would like to express my appreciation to Freddy for his time and effort to pass on these entertaining stories to me. We both hope that you will enjoy them.
 
Aren’t cats wonderful friends to share our lives with! Personally, my “house” would not be a “home” without my furry, little feline companions accompanying me on my life’s journey.

Cat Tale 01: Slinking Noodles
Recently I was recalling a bunch of experiences of mine that have made for thrilling encounters and fond memories. For example, like the time when I was a very young kitty and I saw what I later learned to be a worm. And it was my first worm!
 
I was lying down in my yard minding my own business with front and back paws stretched out in front and back— Superman flying style! Suddenly, I saw this gooey slinking thing moving in the grass and heading right towards my nose. “Wow, look at that!” I thought to myself.
 
I jumped up on all fours, with my tail pointed upwards and flitting about, my head down with eyes focused, and my front legs lowered and charged with super spring action. All the time, I was observing the strange little beast wiggling around in front of me.
 
What could that be? My mind racing among various alternatives.
 
Did one of those noodles that my lady caretaker cooks up somehow escape from the kitchen, and in doing so, take on a life of its own out here in the yard? Is it maybe coming after me in revenge for eating so many of its family members from kind handouts from my lady caretaker in past visits to the kitchen? Will I be overpowered by it and then slowly but surely swallowed up alive by this slinking, low level, tubular noodle monster?
 
Yikes! Mew, mew! Mew, mew!
 
Should I run or should I stay? Run or stay? Run or stay?
 
Hey, where’s my mama cat? She’d know what to do. Nope. I don’t see her around at the moment. Mama? Mama? Nope. Uh oh.
 
Yikes! Mew, mew! Mew, mew!
 
Run or stay? Run or stay?
 
Or should I just hold my ground and keep observing? Yeah, observing! Hmmm.
 
Or maybe I should attack before he attacks me? Maybe, huh? Or would that just leave my paws all sticky and disgusting and messy?
 
Or maybe it’s not a noodle monster at all but a baby tree instead, and that’s how they look when they’re born. Sure! They’re born as just one little stick that will later grow into a whole bunch of big sticks connected together. Yeah. And it’s slinking around looking for a place to stand up so it can start to sprout out like the trees do.
 
If that’s the case, maybe it can’t find a good place to get started and I could help it with that. Or maybe it can’t stand up on its own and I could stand it up with my paws. Or how about if I just ram it into the ground and see if it can sprout out by itself after that.
 
Yeah! And then the big trees would thank me since I kindly helped this slinking little sprout.
 
Hmmm. On the other hand, maybe they would think I was interfering with their tree stuff, and they would hurl down thousands of leaves on top of me and I would be buried alive!
 
What do I do? What should I do? It keeps slinking and slinking, getting closer and closer, and what do I do? What should I do?
 
I got it! No, maybe I shouldn’t. Well, I could. But what if? Sure, why not? Okay. I got it. I’ll just ask this gooey thing what it is and if I can help it in any way. Yeah, that’s what I’ll do! Here I go.
 
Hi there! My name’s Freddy. Freddy the Cat. How’s it going?
 
“Hello, Freddy the Cat. Nice to meet you! I’m Willy the Worm.”
 
Wow, he answered me. Great!
 
Hi, Willy. So, a worm? You’re a worm, huh.
 
“You got it!”
 
Hmmm. So, what’s a worm?
 
“It’s me! I’m a worm!”
 
Oh, yeah. And so you’re not a slinking noodle that came to life in my kitchen and escaped outside to come after me and maybe overpower me and then eat me all up?
 
“A slinking noodle? To attack you!”
 
Well, I thought that could be what had happened.
 
“Ha, ha, ha! Nope. No, Freddy, I’m a worm! Ha, ha, ha!”
 
Or maybe you’re a miniature tree that is looking for a place to stand up, and you just need someone to ram you into the ground.
 
“ Ram me into the ground? No, Freddy, that would hurt! Miniature tree ? Ha, ha, ha! Nope, I’m a worm! Ha, ha, ha!”
 
Hmmm. Right. Okay, so, well, what’s a worm?
 
“It’s me! I’m a worm!”
 
Mama! Mama! I still don’t see her.
 
“You’re just a young little kitty, aren’t you?”
 
Yep. Almost brand new, Willy.
 
“So that’s why you don’t understand. Okay, that’s fine. But listen, Freddy. When you come across something or someone in life that you haven’t seen before and you don’t know what it is or what his kind is like, then it’s best not to be guessing a whole lot of things and coming to conclusions on your own.”
 
Why not?
 
“Because almost all the time, you’ll probably be wrong! And you’ll most likely be thinking up sort of negative stuff that will give you a bad impression before you even know what’s actually going on.”
 
Oh yeah? Hmmm. Like that you are an evil noodle that is out to attack and eat me?
 
“Ha, ha, ha! Yes, Freddy, that’s an excellent example of what I was just trying to explain to you!”
 
Cool! So, if I’m not supposed to be thinking up stuff on my own, what should I do, Willy?
 
“Just ask me!”
 
Huh?
 
“All you have to do is ask me a lot of questions to tell you what worms are like, or what we eat, or how we have fun or anything like that!”
 
Cool! I guess I don’t need my mama now after all. I messed up, huh Willy.
 
“As you said, you’re almost brand new! That’s to be expected.”
 
And so the adult cats, the adult worms, the adult dogs, the adult humans, and all those adult creatures know about this “asking” stuff and don’t mess up like me, right?
 
“Hmmm. Well, that’s another subject for another day, Freddy.”
 
So? Oh yeah. So, Willy, uh, what are worms like? Yeah! And hey Willy, what do you worms eat anyway? That would be interesting! And I’m a kitty and I have lots of fun! So what do you do for fun, Willy? Huh?
 
Wow, I think I’m going to like this “asking questions” thing that you taught me!
 
“I can see that, and when you start with the questions, there’s no stopping you. That’s great, Freddy!”
 
“Okay, let’s see. I’ll begin with ‘what are worms like?’ As you can tell by our slinky little bodies, we…”
 
Nope. My mama cat never wavered. “This is right, and that is wrong, and that’s that!”
 
Anyway, at least the babbling, brush-toting human went down the street to bother someone else now. Scrubbing technology? Is that what he said?
