Cats-by LiQiTom peered out of the window, glaring angrily at his little brother who was taking his leftover lunch downstairs. " For the last time Dick, you are not allowed to feed any stray animals with our food. Mum says so." Dick gave his brother a cheeky grin." Well Mum says you cannot play any computer games until the exams are over but you still do. Since when did you become so obedient?" "WHAT? You...." Dick ran downstairs before his brother could finish saying the swear word. Tom growled. Why did his brother care so much about those cats which gathered downstairs everyday anyway? They were smelly, a nusciance to the enviroment and they multiplied faster than a entire warren of rabbits. Another thing: Tom hated cats. He positively loathed them. Firstly, some of them came upstairs, outside the apartment where they lived, and spent the entire night seranding each other with their yowls. Secondly, they had dragged his geography project, which he had sweated blood doing for a whole month,downstairs after a karaoke binge to play with. Lastly, they acted cute around Dick, and only Tom knew the monsters that they could be- scratching and spitting and fighting. The day the government announced that all cats were to be taken away because of the SARS scare was the happiest one in Tom's life. He immediately called the Town Council using a public phone and as adult a voice as he could manage."Hello. I would like to complain that there are many cats around here. Yes, because of the SARS scare. You'll send someone around to take care of it? Good, thank you very much." That afternoon a big truck came and carted all the cats- big ones, small ones, fat ones, thin ones, white ones, black ones and all those in between, away. Tom sighed a sastifacted sigh. "Well that's that." he managed to say with a smile that ran two times around his face. Tom and Dick's father tore open the utility bill. He ran his eyes over it. Then he looked solemnly at the boys. "Well, children it seems we have a problem here." Tom raised his eyes but Dick continued staring at his eggplant casserole. He had not been himself since the dissaperance of the cats. "It seems the bill is charging extra for " pest extermination"." He paused. Tom could not hide a guilty smile. Dick saw it and hissed, "You sadist! I guessed as much!" across the dining table. Tom stuck his tounge out. " "Due to the sheer number of cats that were to be removed, we apologise that we had to include part of our bill in your bill as the cost ran beyond our budget." " Their father stopped reading. " See? This is what you get when you try to be too kind towards those stray cats, Dick." "Sorry, Dad." mumbled Dick. " As a result, I shall cut off half of your allowance.Tom!" Tom jumped two feet out of his skin. What now? " You have not taught you younger brother correctly." Their mother nodded." It is your duty to do so." she agreed." You are the eldest here." "As a result, we are going to cut off a third-" "No darling, half." "Ahem. Half of your allowance. We need the money anyway. Do you get me?" their father asked. "Yes, Dad." they answered.Their parents returned to their dinner. So Tom and Dick stared at each other, and both said: " That's YOUR fault."
