Finding Stitch

Finding Stitch

By: Lindsay Brooks

My name is Lindsay and I have two cats.

The cats and I live in a one bedroom apartment in the country. In my apartment, I have a bedroom, kitchen, living room, and bathroom.

One cat is a year and a half old and is named Sora. My other kitty is named Stitch and is only one year old. Sora is an energetic , playful, and feisty  little boy who always loves to be seen! Meanwhile, Stitch is a true "scaredy-cat !" He is also a male.  Sora is a thin short-haired cat. Stitch is a little larger, even though he is younger. He loves to eat! Regardless of their differences, at times it is still hard to tell them apart.

One Saturday, I decided that I needed to clean my apartment. First, I swept the bathroom and kitchen. Sora loves playing with the broom!

Second, being that the other rooms are carpeted, I needed to vacuum the living room and bedroom. Sora and Stitch loathe  when I vacuum, especially Stitch! 

After I was all done cleaning, I realized  that my cats were missing! 

All of a sudden, I heard a rustling  noise come out of the closet. I wondered  who that could be.

I was so relieved  to see Sora! I still wondered where Stitch could be hiding.

I was still missing my other cat. Where was Stitch? So…I decided to venture  off through my apartment on a kitty hunt.

First, I looked in the bedroom. Stitch loves to stay warm and cozy . I looked on the bed, under the bed, in my drawers…. I did not spot Stitch.So, I looked in the clothing hamper . Stitch was not there.

I had three rooms left to look. Next, I decided to go into the living room. I looked on the couch, under the couch, in the same closet Sora came out of, and in the kitty bed. Stitch was still nowhere to be found. 

I looked in the bathroom. I looked everywhere! I glanced  under the toilet seat, in the shower, in the litter box…. No kitty. 

Finally, I looked in the kitchen. This was the last room I could look! I peaked  under the table, behind the microwave cart….. no cat. This search was draining !

But wait! All of a sudden I heard a slight creaking  noise. Slowly, but surely, I found Stitch - poking his head out of the dryer.
