The Legend

"Here kitty, kitty, kitty..."

4:30am Day One	A black food dish, overflowing with treats, appears in front of Beauregard’s bed. He had heard strange noises in the middle of the night, but thought nothing of it.
4:32am Day One	At first Beauregard thinks he is dreaming when he sees the dish, but he quickly brings Blondie and Punkie over to see it.
4:35am Day One	Punkie wisely suggests that the three of them begin documenting this event. They all take turns running the video camera.

4:45am Day One	Blondie remembers hearing about the black food dish when she lived at Tree House Animal Foundation—several of the older kitties related the legend... No one knows where it comes from. No one knows why it appears. No one knows what happens to it when it suddenly disappears. No one knows when or where it will appear again. Lucky kitties should just take advantage and eat the food when the dish appears because they may never see it again.
6:30am Day One	After eating from the black food dish for a while, the three kitties decide to interview their Big Cats about this legend.
6:31am Day One
	“Nope, I haven’t heard anything about a black food dish...I have heard another legend, though...A flying saucer lands in some guy’s backyard...Elvis comes out and hands him a can of beer. Now here’s the interesting part...the beer never runs out...Imagine that...it never runs out...Some day, I’ll have to look into it...Who wants to catch this toy mouse at the end of my plastic fishin’ pole?”
6:33am Day One
	“Hmmm...a black food dish that mysteriously appears and is filled with food...filled with food that all three of you like! That’s a legend all right...you want me to look it up for you on the Internet? I could try Yahoo, Ask Jeeves, HotBot, Lycos, Alta Vista, eBay, blah-blah-blah...”
6:35am Day One	The three kitties quickly realize their Big Cats don’t know jack about the legend.

6:36am
Day One to
1:30am
Day Two

All that day, the three of them eat from the black food dish. The food tastes wonderful—better than any food they’ve ever had...and the dish never runs out!

"MMM...Good!"

5:05am Day Two	While on his way to the front window to check out the morning birdies, Beauregard is suddenly spooked when he comes upon his bed...which he hadn’t slept in due to the heat. He is so shocked, he takes refuge in the plants nearby. Beauregard calls to Punkie, who is already in the front window. She grabs the video camera and comes running.
5:06am Day Two	Punkie, documents her findings at the site of Beauregard’s bed.
5:08am Day Two	After their initial shock, all three kitties take turns investigating the strange phenomenon—gone is the wonderful black food dish...and in its place...a cat stick figure hanging from the bed...too clever for their Big Cats to have made...and a pile of stones, forming a strange design.

5:11am Day Two	The three kitties carefully collect and document the last remaining crumbs of food left around the bed. They hope to save these for posterity.
5:12am Day Two	Beauregard can’t stop himself—he eats the last wonderful-tasting crumbs of food.
5:14am Day Two to 6:30am Day Five	It took Punkie and Blondie a few days to try to forgive Beauregard for eating the remaining precious crumbs... Soon, they all calmed down from their experience and wondered how it would affect their lives.

One year later, the saga continues...
