Kitten and the Bug

{Kitten creeps into blog, sees something out of the corner of her eye, and bolts to climb onto the windowsill.} Why is Kitten so jumpy? Well, I have been visited by a very creepy looking bug and it has left me a little jumpy. Yesterday, I was sitting on my bed, reading my novel, when I see something brown moving quickly across the floor. I looked over and there was three inch long legged bug going as fast as his little legs could carry him. While some kittens love to play with bugs, this kitty all but faints at the sight of them. So what did I do? Well, after giving a "Yeeeek!" I threw my book at him. The bug did not go splat! like I had planned. I missed, as if to mock me, he climbed up on my novel and stayed there for about five minutes before deciding to go under my desk. I was in quite a predicament because I knew that I would never be able to sleep with that freak of bug in the same room. I decided I was going to have to set my fear aside and take this bug out. So I stood up on my bed and crossed over to my chair and sat on my desk. I happened to have my coffee pot going. It was lucky that the bug was in a spot out in the opening, since he had made the mistake of moving under my desk to right by my dresser. I felt a slight feeling of guilt at killing him by scalding, then I looked down at all those legs and decided, oh well, and poured the coffee. I poured quite abit and had a huge mess but I killed the bug!!! Yes I am bug free... I think....
