| �Here you go fwuffy wuffy all safe and sound.� A small indignant squeak was the only reply to this cheerfully issued statement as a small round ball rightened it�s self with all the inborn haughtier of a blue-blooded aristocrat. The sickening babble of baby talk resumed once again. �You�ll like your new home won�t you fwuffy wuffy? It�s much nicer than you�re old one. Much safer to! No more sneaking out for you.� With a triumphant smile and a twirl the obnoxious twit swept out of the room oblivious to the furious opinion being voiced behind her. Not that she would have under stood it as it was spoken (or rather squeaked) in hamster. �Just you wait girl! You think you can hold me? You think this flimsy contraption of steel and plastic can bar my way? You�ll learn girl, you�ll learn. No cage is a match for the Great Huidini!� A maniacal chitter skitters through the air as the lights flicker in a disconcerting manner. Eyes glitter in the fluorescent light as a cinnamon colored ball of fuzz vow�s to escape. Mincing gingerly over the oh so thoughtfully provided wood shavings he began a slow perusal of this new habitat. Examining each corner of the cage, the floor, the walls, the bars and taking note of the sliding door located at the top of the cage he eventual stops in front of the plastic �house� that she of the obnoxious voice had been kind enough to provide. Letting out a satisfied snort (actually it was more of a strangled squeak but in deference to our furry hero we�ll say it was a snort) Huidini began nudging the horribly gaudy but wonderfully sturdy house into position. Stepping back to critically examine his work then returning once more to the finicky task of finding just the right place he labored on. After numerous miniscule adjustments he was finally satisfied and with a triumphant smirk (I don�t know how he did it but it was most definitely a smirk) and a flick of his whiskers he was of. With a leap and a bound the shooting streak of cinnamon brown shot onto the house and up, up onto the ceiling. (If there hadn�t been a ceiling in his way he would have been the first hamster to achieve orbit!) Clinging tenaciously to his precarious perch he began to work away at the sliding door. �Ha!� an exclamation of triumph, �Just as I though. The bubble brained airhead forgot to latch it!� Bracing himself more firmly, tiny hamster muscles straining as millimeter by millimeter the unlatched door began to slide open bit by bit just a little farther�almost�there. Stuck! The door was stuck just mere fractions from freedom. Snarling in a very unroddent like manner, Huidini considered the situation. Snaking a slender paw through the opening he laboriously began to pull himself through. �Gasp!� �I swear if I get out of here I�m cutting down on the hamster treats� Another inch. �Think thin thoughts! Thin thoughts!� With a soft �pop� the worst of him was through and with an ease that was rather anticlimactic he was free. �Ha! Freedom! So long suckers! See ya wouldn�t want to be ya! I am so out of here!� |
