I'm not crazy!

As the warmth spread over Penny's chest she began to become aware of things. First off, why is a cat peeing on me? Second, where am I? Third, what happened to my amazing day? She struggled to open her eyes. A glance at Shane, the cat and the security people was enough to make her close her eyes again. As she lay there she took stock of her body. Arms, legs,head, everything seemed to be in place. Aside from feeling like she'd been hit by a bus she was in one piece. A painful piece but still one piece.

Shane could have kicked himself. How could I be fooled by a cat! What's wrong with me! Get a grip man! As he calmed down the security guards loosened their hold on him. “ I need to get back to my sister!” “ Sir, cats are not allowed in the hospital.” “I know that now but that cat was a special cat.” “Sir, that cat is the oddest cat we've ever seen. He peed on someone! We don't do that here. He also took some drugs. Tell us where the cat is and you can see your sister.” I don't know! It's not my cat! It was in my truck and it said it could save my sister so I brought it here!” Sir, did you actually say that the cat talked to you? We need to get psyche down here right now. This guy is nuts!” “No” cried Shane as they transported him to the special floor with the padded rooms. The last thing Shane saw before they locked him in his room was the cat with a very satisfied look on his face peering out from behind a slightly ajar door.
