Raining Cats

It was a normal Tuesday in Kansas until a quarter to two A Bengal cat came down on my head, it had big eyes of blue. A British shorthair came flying by and landed on my knee. Then a Sphynx and a Ragdoll. What was happening to me? I looked up into the sky, and guess what I saw, my friend? It was raining cats today, and it looked like they would never end. An American Bobtail came down hard and fast. Landed on my foot. Were they all determined to land on me? Next one as black as soot! A Maine Coon was trying to stop herself, she landed in a tree. I had to get a ladder to help her, and she ended up biting me! An Abyssinian told me off, and a Persian gave me a scratch. There were five hundred in all, and I was simply not a match. I called the animal shelter, the fire department and 911. They thought it was hilarious, came running to look at all this fun. Sure it is humorous, I said but how many will I have to fix? The news stations came and filmed it; we were on the news at six.
