They ran up the stairs
and into the shack,
shaking off the
droplets as they
looked around.
“I hope she’s all right,”
said Rosy. “We better
run home soon. My
mom is going to be
worried.”

Mitzy and Rosy
could hardly sleep
that night thinking
about the mother
cat and her kittens.
Rosy told her
mother about their
adventure. She told
her not to worry
because cats were
smart and knew how
to take care of
themselves. Mitzy
still couldn’t help
thinking about the
little family.

The next morning
Mitzy was at Rosy’s
bedroom window just as
the sun was coming up.
“You were worried too,
I see,” said Rosy as she
wiped the sleep from
her eyes.
“Hurry up and get
dressed!” yelled Mitzy.

“I brought more milk.
Maybe you can find a
little leftover fish. I
heard that cats love fish,”
said Mitzy.
The girls put all the food
in their knapsacks and
headed for the river.
They forgot to tell
anybody where they were
going. When they got
there the shack was
empty.
“Let’s leave the food and
maybe she’ll come
around,” said Rosy.
With heavy hearts, they
headed back to Rosy’s
house.

“You two are in big trouble!” said
Rosy’s mother. “Next time you decide
to go somewhere, please have the
courtesy to tell me where you are
going. I was worried!”
But after seeing the looks on the
girls’ faces, she knew what had
happened.
“You couldn’t find her?” asked Rosy’s
mother.
“No, she wasn’t anywhere to be
found,” said Rosy with a sad look on
her face. “We left some food for
her. We hope she’ll find it.”
“Well, cats do have a keen sense of
smell. You can go back this
afternoon, but this time try to be
real quiet so you won’t scare her
away,” said her mother with a smile.

Right after lunch,
Rosy and Mitzy
headed back down
to the shack by the
river. They had
decided to make a
clubhouse out of
the old building.
“It will be our
secret hideaway,”
they both agreed.
