Hello friends, and welcome to Sleep Tide Stories.

We are continuing this week with Chapter 6 of Cat City.

Susan has been taken through Cat City to the Council meeting, and she is fascinated by the architecture and sights in the city, and has so many questions.

She asks Cynthia and Vinnie some of the questions until Cynthia says, no more.

They have arrived at Center Square in this chapter, and Susan is stunned by the number of cats in the square.

There are cats of every size and color, and all the noise.

Cynthia will plead Susan's case to the council, and see what they decide.

Cat City Chapter 6

Susan gasped.

Despite the fact she knew what she was walking into, and the crowds of cats that passed her on her way there, she was not prepared for the sheer number of animals filling Center Square.

Stunned, and with her fear rising even higher, she could only stare as she very slowly made her way through the huge mass of furry bodies at the entrance.

Cats of every size, color, and description filled the large square to bursting.

The area itself was sunken, like a theater, surrounded by levels of steps.

In the center stood a short pedestal, placed on it were five thrones made of the same cold gray stone.

The steps themselves were overflowing with cats, and the noise.

She could barely comprehend what she was hearing.

Her mind tried to separate out the different sounds, but gave up.

She just focused on keeping herself from tripping down the stairway, on her way to the bottom.

Susan was halfway down before she realized where they were taking her.

She looked around desperately for Tucker, but he was nowhere to be seen.

They won't let him come, Vinny's deep voice barely made it through the sound of the other cats, but I'm here with you Susan.

She wasn't sure if she was going to cry or hug him.
