Cats The Musical: New Kittens! Book 1

Play!

"I think Starlight said her first word!" Jemima gasped. "I heard it." Alonzo nodded, grinning with a faint purr. "Did she? Yes!" Etcetera jumped over with a squeal. "Did she? What did the tux say?" Tumblebrutus smiled from the pipe. Jemima held Starlight gently, "Come on, say it." She giggled. "Little ones! Stop gathering around each Other!" Jellylorum went over, shooing Tumblebrutus and Etcetera away. Alonzo murmured something in Jellylorum's ear before sprinting away to Cassandra.

"Play!" Said Starlight all of a sudden in a squeaky voice. "Did you hear that? Jellylorum? Did you?" Jemima smiled excitedly. Jellylorum nodded and giggled, "Now, Jemima! I only came to tell you to give Starlight back to her parents since its sleepy time for her." The elderly queen was already walking to a den. Jemima smiled gently at Starlight, "We'll play with together when you wake up." She carried the tired tuxedo kitten over to Mistoffelees and Victoria. Victoria sat up, "We heard Star say her first word already." The white queen smiled. "Pretty sad that she cant do the jellicle ball this year." Jemima frowned. "Agathea will take care of her while the Jellicle Ball is happening, she will be happy watching." Mistoffelees smiled. Aelina was an adolescent, Cassandra and Alonzo had taken her in since she was abandoned. Anyway, Aelina was injured during the fight with Macavity so she can't dance right now.

Jemima crawled into her den, then seeing her mother and father. "Where on heaviside have you been?" Demeter stalked over. "Just giving Starlight back to Victoria and Mistoffelees." Jemima smiled. "Thats alright Then." Munkustrap chuckled. "Munku, are you sure you'll be fine patrolling the night? You're concerning me." Demeter sighed. Munkustrap nodded, "I dont want Macavity stealing the kittens here." The grey tabby had a point. "No, father..what Macavity is after is the youngest kitten in the tribe..the youngest here is currently Starlight." Jemima meowed. Munkustrap was on his way out of the den. "Leave him, darling." Demeter nuzzled her kitten. Jemima nodded and sighed. Jemima leapt onto an old thrown out cat bed and curled into an small calico ball.
