Mei Mei was in a pretty great mood that evening when she got home. She slid into the house with a hiss on her lips, and nearly tumbled over the tiger cub. It was the douse of cold water she needed to remind her that in her house, she had to walk carefully at all times like an intruder.
The tiger cub jumped on her leg and clung to pants with small sharp nails, making distressed meows.
"Great job Count Ticula, you have ruined my pants." She said with dry sarcasm and then picked up the cub. "What do you have to complain about? You have a luxury house, feed on expensive food, sleep on a comfortable bed and watch cartoons. I even bought you all the toys...."
It wrung on her hair and she winced.
"Does anyone know why Count Ticula is furious?" she shouted.
