"Did the cat get off the bed?" I asked Logan, starring around for signs of movement.The bottom bunk, clad in navy blue bedding, lay in shadow and I was looking for a black cat among the pillows and blankets.
"No, he's right here," Logan said, thumping him on the back.The cat gazed up at me seemingly unaware of his pummeling.
"I know exactly how to clear the cat off the bed," he continued. "Just hit him with a pillow...a few times."There followed a demonstration in which neither the boy was successful nor the cat was moved. A second, equally fruitless, attempt was made before Logan finally just shoved the cat off the bed but not before a parting swipe was taken as the cat gracelessly departed from his napping spot. Now, I may not be the brightest bulb, but I'm reasonably certain that someone in this scenario is not learning their lesson.
