One day in the space meadow, Angela was zooming her dog across the holographic landscape when a Cosmic Cat hovered by. Immediately Angela's dog began chasing it, dragging Angela through the vacuum, holographic flowers whacking her in the face. The Cosmic Cat abruptly stopped with its tail sticking straight up from its rear.
Angela's dog fired its reverse thrusters until it stopped, and then it growled at the creature. The Cosmic Cat turned 180 degrees and stared at them. Its eyes rolled backward and it began glowing with a bright white light. Strange humming resonated from it, and soon the light had extended all around it in all directions, covering the blackness of space with its glow.
Angela tried to get her dog to retreat, but it growled even harder, keeping its thrusters fired against its owner's pull. The Cosmic Cat's eyes began glowing red, and though the iris' were inside its skull, it seemed to be glaring directly at the dog. They seemed to be filling up with energy, and it quickly became clear that it was going to blast the dog.
Just as Angela shrieked for her pet, the space meadow animal patrol car zoomed up with its net and scooped up the cat. Two men hopped out, and the one opening the rear door said "You alright miss? Thanks for finding him"
The one with the net added "This is the most troublesome rascal we've encountered. Escapes at least once a week, can you believe it!"
Angela shook her head, composing herself. "Yeah. . . I'm fine. Thank you."
The two men locked the cat in the back and waved to Angela and her dog as they zoomed away. Angela resumed her walk with her dog, returning through the space meadow. As she turned to walk back home, she glanced one last time at the animal control car, and in the back window she could see two blazing red dots, clearing focused right on her. She quivered, but the car took a turn, and the eyes were gone.
"C'mon Schnarles. Let's get inside. That's enough of a walk today" she said, leading her dog back into her home.
