Misty the Scared Kitten Read Online Free

going to feel so silly if this was all in her head! But to her amazement, Misty reached out a paw, placed it gently on Kitty’s hand and miaowed emphatically.
    ‘I knew it felt real!’ gasped Kitty. ‘And is the reason you haven’t beenoutside all day because of those horrible cats, Fang and Claws?’

    Misty gave a frightened little shiver. Kitty stroked her head comfortingly –and then remembered something else. ‘The Cat Council!’ she breathed. ‘You called a meeting with them, for tonight. We can ask them what to do about those cats – as well as finding out why I can turn into one!’
    Misty’s little ears twitched and she glanced towards the door. Kitty listened, and heard Jenny coming back upstairs. ‘Meet me in my garden tonight!’ she whispered quickly. ‘I live three houses away – it’s the one with the oak tree and the Wendy house.’ Misty tilted her head to one side, looking worried. Kitty stroked her reassuringly. ‘It will be OK, Misty. Just make sure those nasty cats aren’t around, then make a run for it.’ Thelittle cat looked up at Kitty and miaowed quickly in agreement.
    As Jenny came back into the room, Kitty turned back to the word search they had been doing – but she could barely concentrate. Her whole body was tingling. What was going to happen tonight?

Chapter 5
    Kitty was desperate for bedtime that evening. As soon as she and Grandma had eaten dinner, she raced upstairs and put her pyjamas on. Grandma chuckled when she saw them. ‘Are you tired, sweetheart?’ she asked, her eyes twinkling. ‘Your sleepover must have worn you out!’
    Kitty smiled. Sleeping was the last thing she was going to do!
    Grandma read a story with Kitty, then pulled the curtains closed. ‘Goodnight,’ she said softly, and shut the door. Kitty listened to Grandma pottering about in the kitchen before eventually going into her own bedroom. Finally, the house was quiet.
    Kitty threw back the covers, tiptoed downstairs, slipped outside and stood barefoot on the moonlit grass. She squinted, wishing her human eyes could see as well as her cat eyes. But even in the darkness, she could tell that Misty wasn’t there. She must have decided she’s too frightened of Fang and Claws to come, Kitty thought, feeling disappointed. How will I find the Cat Council now?
    Then she heard a miaow from above her head. She looked up and saw a littlecat perched in the oak tree. ‘Misty!’ she whispered happily. The silver tabby leapt down and landed lightly on the grass, rubbing her furry head around Kitty’s ankles.
    ‘Now I just need to turn into a cat!’ whispered Kitty. She tried to remember exactly how it had happened last night. Her nose had been itching, and she’d sneezed …
    ‘I’m going to need your help!’ Kitty told Misty. She bent down close and buried her nose in the tabby’s silky fur. Straight away, she could feel the itchy feeling in her nose and a noisy sneeze burst out of her. ‘Aaaaaaa CHOOOO!’
    Kitty crossed her fingers for luck and waited. She could feel the sparkling,shimmering sensation spreading through her body again. She gave one more big sneeze – ‘AAAAACHOOOO!’ – and when she opened her eyes, she was whisker to whisker with Misty.

    ‘It worked!’ purred Misty.
    Kitty looked around the garden. Everything looked clearer and every sound was sharper, from the rumble of Misty’s purr to the chirp-chirp of a grasshopper on a nearby branch. Kitty swished her tail, twitched her whiskers and practised trotting around on her padded paws, getting used to being back in her cat form. ‘Thanks, Misty!’ she miaowed. ‘I’m so glad you’re here. I thought you weren’t coming!’
    ‘I was nervous about those horridPersians,’ Misty admitted. ‘I heard them prowling around. That’s why I hid in the tree until you came outside!’
    ‘We can’t let them bully you, Misty,’ Kitty told her friend firmly. ‘You’ve been stuck inside all day because of those mean cats! Let’s
