Kate was begging to awaken, more like the twilight hour between awake and half asleep at the same time. She thought she was dreaming of having her side petted. I had been years since Kate was petted; slowly she opened one eye. Nope it was not a dream. Someone with a softy hand was massaging her reddish-brown fur. She closed her eyes and gave a hushed growled purr. "Mmm this feel good. I have an itch on my back." The vixen rolled over onto her stomach.
