Coyote and House Cat
Coyote licked his chops. The fat rabbit he’d just eaten pressed comfortably against his ribs. The night was still young and Coyote was feeling frisky. He took a detour, following a street that edged the wild. Several more streets and many turns later, he came to a house where lived a very fat, very saucy house cat. Coyote had been after the cat for years, longing to make a meal of him.
The house that House Cat lived in was on a corner. One street bordered the front and was full of houses on both sides. The other street–one way went down into the city, the other way was just a few short steps from an undeveloped wash. Coyote lived just up the wash and two hills over.
House Cat’s back yard came right up to the street and was bordered by a tall chain link fence. When Coyote had first come across the cat, he had bloodied his paws trying to dig under the cat’s fence. But House Cat belonged to clever owners who buried the chain link fence deep below the ground.
The whole time Coyote had been digging, House Cat sat in his yard, near the door to the house, making rude comments about Coyote.
Wounded in form and pride, Coyote had vowed to one day get the cat.
