Trustable Trouties

           Midnight ended up trusting the Trouties.  It wasn’t as hard as it seemed.  After all, like I said, Dr. Barney was a huge help.  It was amazing how calm and reasonable he was and he didn’t even have to yell at Midnight at all.  He was a lot better with that than I would have been.  It was a good thing he was around and not over with the other kitties shoving that catnip cake in his mouth.

            Speaking of that, you will never believe how silly all of the catnip crew were acting.  Smokey was doing tons of giggle purrs and whatever was making her do it caused her to fall on her butt and roll around.  To top it all off, all of the giggle purring was getting louder and louder. 

The Sheriff even was wondering what was so funny but the Mayor was maintaining a sense of calmness and was all business.

            He got Midnight to tell him what happened that night all the way from the beginning.  I was surprised at how much the kitty remembered.  She was so scared that night, which was understandable, and I would’ve thought that she forgot a lot of stuff.  I was glad to be wrong.  Maybe we would be able to find this human that killed her owner after all.

            The Mayor was very thorough in the questioning.  No one even had to ask anything.  It was like he was reading my mind.  I liked watching the Sheriff during this questioning session too.  He just stood aside with a smug look on his face and the whiskers twitching too. 

            In the meantime, Midnight was all wound up.  The more she answered, the more wound up she got too.  It was amazing how much she knew about this human and the more she talked it sounded like that this whole thing might have been about animals!  According to Midnight, this human sounded like she abused animals and that her owner was going to turn her in, and that’s why she killed her! 

            And that bought up the obvious question: how did Midnight end up getting away?
