Summary

Grubby Kitty finds a fun roll of paper when his humans aren't home. How will they react to the mess?

Narrator: Female

Story Begins: 3:33

Playful Paper Excerpt:
The warm sunshine sparkled through the window as Grubby Kitty leaned his front paws on the glass. Outside, a pair of yellow butterflies fluttered among the garden flowers. Grubby’s bright blue eyes followed the insects as they flitted about.

Eventually, one came to land on the ledge just outside the window. Grubby stared at the butterfly with twitching whiskers. The butterfly’s wings opened and closed slowly, as if waving hello to the little kitty. Grubby gave a soft, friendly meow in return. As the butterfly lifted off again to rejoin its friend, Grubby stretched and hopped down from the window and onto the couch.
