Boris the cat was curled up on a pillow by the window and the light of a moonbeam. It was the middle of the night and everyone was sleeping, including Boris. Well, he was sleeping until a loud sound startled him. Boris's ears perked up at the noise and he hissed at the shape outside the window. He thought he heard something squeak in surprise, and he listened a bit longer, but didn't hear anything else. So Boris let out a big yawn and fell back asleep on his walk. The next morning, something was not right. He walked along the fence on his normal route, but no other cats were out there to greet him. Snowball wasn't in her yard, and neither were Mittens or todd Where is everybody, Boris wondered. Lord on the slow squeaked a squirrel from the tree above. Bors frowned in confusion at his friend, Walnut the squirrel here? What will I'll all around?

Shouted Boris. Then he thought for a moment and added, and I know just where to go. Come on. Walnut jumped onto the fence and followed after Boris. I didn't know that squirrels could be friends with cats, did you. At the end of the neighborhood, the two friends jumped down into the grass and ran until it turned into sand. He didn't stop until they reached the waves of Lake Washington. Ahoy, Boris called out towards the empty lake. He stared out at the water, waiting for something. They waited a few minutes, then out on the horizon a large ship appeared. It sailed closer until a flag came into view. A skull and crossbones with cat ears could be seen over the black background of the flag. Ahoy, Captain kitten Boo. The cats aboard yelled to Boris. When they saw him, Captain Little Burr asked, Walnut the squirrel. That's my pirate name, Boris exclaimed. And who might this be? They asked when they saw a wall the squirrel. Boris introduced Walnut to the kitty pirates. Y're nice to meet ya, Wally. We've been waiting for your landlubbers to call for a ride, replied a gray cat wearing an eyepatch. Really, you know about the missing cat, Boris. Captain Kittieboo asked. We don't just know about them, Captain, we've seen them. The gray cat told them how they heard me ow was coming from a mysterious ship that sailed past them last night. We've got a foul of them. The Gray Cat nodded, there'll be an island where a giant volcano sits. That is the direction they were hidden. Boris took his role as Captain Kittieboo and told the Pirate Cat crew their destination. Then he began to sail the pirate ship out in the water toward the volcano island. They heard it before they could see it. Rumbling from the volcano echoed across the water, and the sounds of meowls and gowls sailed over the waves. We're albos there, Captain Kiddiboo told Walnut. Then they watched as the giant volcano came into view. It was as tall as a mountain and rumbled like a garage full of race cars. As they watched, it shook and something flew into the air out of the volcano. There she blows, yelled the Pirate Cat crew. Captain Kittiboo squinted to try and get a better look at what had exploded out of the volcano. He listened closely and heard a blow. Quick, I need net, Captain Kittiboo announced to the crew, and they wasted no time, giving nets to him and Walnut the squirrel. Captain Kittiboo steered the ship under the flying object and held out his net. What do you think is flying through the air? Did it just me? Ow? A kitten fell from the sky and landed safely into Wally's outstretched net. Flor squealed the baby kitten, and Wally had just placed it onto the deck of the ship when the volcano began to rumble again. Their shape blues again, shouted the pirate crew, and now everyone had a net in their hands. Catch those kittens, commanded Captain Kittiboo. Wally led half the crew onto the island and the captain stayed on the boat with the rest. Everyone ready their nets, and the volcano spewed again. This time a dozen kittens came flying out into the air. What kind of volcano? Is this a kitty volcano? They catapulted through the sky and landed safely in nets held by pirates all around the land and water. The volcano rumbled and erupted cats and kittens three more times before going quiet. I think that's all of them, announced Captain Kittiboo. After doing a headcount, he spotted Snowball, Mittens, and todd among the cats crowding the deck of the pirate ship. Mehows and purring sounded all around as the cats thanked the cat pirates for rescuing them. Oh tuck you, Captain Kittiboo asked a small white kitten named Friends. I'm not sure all real dark and are roaring purple. Captain kitty Boo wasn't sure what to think about that, but something about villains in purple sounded familiar. He shrugged and was just glad the pirate cat crew knew where to find the missing cats. Walnut had all the kittens do the buddy check, and when everyone was accounted for, Captain Kittiboo sailed everyone back home. Holy smokes, Friends, that may be the end of our story, But what do you think is going on with all of this? Kittens go missing, then explode out of volcanoes, and it appears that they were taken by things all in purple. I'm not sure what is going on here, but we need your help to finish the story. Why don't you look down in the show notes below with your parents. You can click the link to send me your idea of how this story can finish. I can't wait to see your ideas.
