Where the city ends

The city ends when the country starts, but what's in between? Cat Town. Where cats are the boss. No dogs bark, no mice come close and no humans. This part of 'town' is where no one lives, no one drives and no one steps foot. But it is still classified as part of New York.

The "newbies"

A while back, some new people came to town. Everyone gave them warnings of Cat town and the hundreds of lost cats. But they didn't listen. Sarah and Greg had 2 kids, Justin age, 5 and Julie age, 7. This part of town was for no humans, especially kids. Sarah and Greg got a small house built and moved in a few months later. In the meantime, they got to know people and small businesses but they left it all behind to live in Cat Town…

A grave mistake

As they unpacked, 'meows' could be heard just meters away. The house already stunk with dead mice and hairballs. Cats poop in every corner. They playful kids wanted to go outside. So they opened the door to hundreds of cats. Hairless, fluffy, bald patches, brown and black, white and grey. Hundreds of cats burst in scratching the fresh carpets.

"Greg! Get them pesky creatures out right now!!!" Sarah yelled

"Yes, honey!" Replied Greg, already covered in scratches.

The family finally shooed all the cats away. They ran into their garage and drove away in their car, never to be seen again…

No one has set foot or paw there ever again, except the thousands of new claws...
