Once upon a time there was a cat. She wasn't very brave, but what she lacked in courage she made up in physical appearance. I dare not say "beauty", as we all know beauty is relative. This little cat had elegance to spare, dainty little tail wrapped around her feet like a long puffy boa when she sat.
But back to her bravery...and this is important to note... she wouldn't take a leap to a couch from the arm of a chair two inches away. She would think about it, make herself ready to jump several times, and then hop to the floor and climb up the couch to get on it.
One day, she decided to be brave and she left her safe spot. She battled a man-made contraption and won, but there was a price for this battle. She lost her elegant tail. For weeks, she had to wear the undignified necklace of healing, and her mother and father made her take wretched icky flavored waters. One was probably retrieved from the evil human litter bowl, while the other water was assuredly from the instant rain maker. That's how bad they tasted!
But once the evil villainous healer humans felt the necklace of healing had done enough of its work, mother and father took off the necklace. The little kitty felt better than ever. She turbocharged around her territories, gained her strength, and soon was making jumps she never dreamed of. Today, she jumped five feet up to a spot on the tower, right from the floor. She had a hero's victory!
