Cat's in the bag!

Mommy brought alot of people food home from work today. She carried in so many bags that daddy had to help her put them all down on the table! While she was putting them away in the big white food box, she rolled up the plastic bags and put them all inside one as she normally does. But this time it was so full of rolled bags that it fell over. I immediately attacked it and was about to shred it to pieces until daddy picked it up and put it back in with the others.

My curiosity was piqued, I had to explore these amazing self-expanding bags! I pulled several of them back out when daddy wasn't looking. Mommy was busy putting the human food into the big white box still so I had tons of time to examine the strange plastic bags without interruptions. I wedged the bag open and crawled inside to get to the base of the bag. I could smell the scent of chicken and mixed flavored foods so I crawled in even deeper.

While examining the inside of the plastic bag I let my guard down. Daddy walked up behind me and laughed saying "look at this little monster...". I felt the bag collapse on me and suddenly I was being lifted off the ground, tumbling around the inside of this hazy white sheet of plastic with only one opening at the top. The opening was too narrow now, my own weight pulled it shut and I was trapped inside.

I didn't feel the need to cry or complain, it was actually a bit thrilling to see how this object functions! I tried to move around and adjust to a different position but everytime I lifted weight off of one leg I felt the other side of my body collapse deeper into the bag! I shifted faster, turning and spinning, but still I could feel the tension of the plastic bag around me.

I could hear daddy laughing and saying "hey look! The cat's in the bag!". Immediately I heard mommy laugh too and I knew this was some sort of fun game for them. I still didn't fight or beg to get out, I actually found it pretty cozy inside and was sitting quite comfortably. I'm guessing daddy got bored or maybe I was getting too heavy because he put me back down on the ground and let me find my way back out of the bag again. It's a shame it couldn't last longer.
