A Count of Sleep.

Cat stretched and clawed the remnant of carpet. Only 5 more sleeps and 15 more catnaps until the famous five left Oz and flew direct to the kingdom of Dragons.

Cat had fallen asleep trying to manage the rather smallish and touchy PC tablet Panda had given her as a gift. Cat was beginning to see this gift as part of a  cunning plan to drive her insane.The keys were small and eager to please yet at the same time quite unforgiving, no mercy for hitting the wrong or closest too key. The spell-check was next to useless the best it could come up with for kingdom was  kumquat. Cat was not even sure that was a word. Still she knew his plan would never work, no one was driving her to insanity, she was quite capable of catching the bus there herself.

At least the tablet worked. Each new toy from Panda made Cat feel closer to the bridge of the Starship Enterprise. Not thought Cat she would be beaming anywhere soon.

A lot of work was still to be done, pictures of the team to be taken and bags to be packed. One final look at the tasks yet to be undertaken Cat stretched and yawned, she reached for a slice of cake. Tomorrow is another day she thought.

Panda walked in and found Cat sound asleep, the battery drained in the Tablet and thick creamy vanilla icing on the Cat's paws. He rescued the tablet and attached it to the charger. He shook his head, Cat had no self control. He looked at the time and lumbered down to his den. Time to check his e-bay account.
Upstairs he could hear the gentle purr of the Cat cascading into a rumbling snore that reverberated throughout the house.

"Ah!"thought Panda, "my Beloved is mine and I am hers". She had a way of bringing out the poet in him.
