Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. After an exhausting day of napping, Glenda the misnamed cat was ready for action. He yawned, reached his paws far in front and drew out his cramped body. He glanced out of the window and saw a calm, clear sky. Perfect! He was looking forward to an evening of exploring a new expanse of road in the neighborhood. He would really like to visit the farm across the river, but that might be too much to cover in one night. He'd save that excursion for one of his multi-day prowls.
2. Glenda the cat headed for the front door. Lacking opposable thumbs, he would have to wait to be let out. His human was supposed to be at a bowling tournament until late in the evening, but the man had to withdraw from the contest. He had slightly wounded his arm when he brushed against a nail in the basement. Well at least this would mean that Glenda would get an early start on his carousing. He knew the man would come to let him out when he scraped at the door.
3. Out on the street, Glenda the cat proceeded with his usual routine, visiting the neighbors' yards and the school grounds as he did every night. He avoided T.C. Ebby's yard as the man was known to fire shots at unwelcome visitors. Near the stop sign, he saw a llama cross the street, which he thought was odd as llamas in Kent were usually diurnal. He proceeded on towards the golf course where he saw a couple of men playing games of night golf. The neon balls were glowing in the dark.
4. Glenda the cat had decided to take an extra long prowl this night. He headed down to the factory near the river. The water was shimmering in the moonlight. As he stopped by a large shrub, he noticed movement coming from behind a nearby rock. He quietly crawled for a closer look, careful to firmly place his paws on the ground without making a sound.
5. The noise turned out to be a small gray rodent. Glenda the cat remembered the pleasure that his human's girlfriend had when discovering the last kill on the doorstep. He had thought the woman was rather shy and quiet, but the sight of the gift really excited her. It was the same reaction that his human had when Glenda had stolen that odd computer clicker. It was so easy to please humans, he thought.
6. Glenda the cat decided to do some detective work and follow the animal to see if it would lead him to its home. That place could be a gold mine of future presents for the humans! Unfortunately, the critter spotted Glenda and took off toward the railroad tracks. Glenda pounced but just missed the rear appendage of the rodent. It ran behind the back end of a train and disappeared.
7. Glenda the cat would have followed the critter, but he spotted the night guard who was patrolling the yard. That guard wasn't too fond of cats. Luckily, the man didn't notice Glenda since he was checking his timepiece so Glenda was able to quietly escape. He headed back towards the neighborhood. He passed a rabbit on his way, but he decided not to trouble with it. He had been wary of bunnies ever since he saw that TV program about cat-eating jackalopes in the Arizona desert. Rabbits are vicious, he thought!
8. Glenda the cat noticed that the sky was beginning to lighten; the sun would soon be up. He decided he had time to visit the creek behind the corner shop before heading home. He started down the hill, but he began to realize that it would take too much energy to get back up. As he turned towards home, he noticed a petting zoo being built on the other side of the creek. Excitedly he realized that this would be the beginning of a new phase of exploration for him.
9. Glenda the cat decided to take a shortcut home. Carefully he crossed the yard of Buck Annear - the mean and despicable man who lived on the corner. Even worse than Buck was his tracking dog, Pirate. Buck kept Pirate chained in the front yard. That dog howled and complained about every little thing. The neighbors harassed Buck endlessly to move the dog inside, but he ignored them. Luckily Pirate was busy digging holes. Dogs aren't smart, thought Glenda.
10. Glenda the cat finally made it home, and his human let him in. He headed down the hall and around the converging walls towards the study. He pawed open the door on the cabinet, revealing his secret private spot where he curled up and nodded off. He began to dream about the one that got away. If only he had been able to trap that critter in an area with no escape! Ah well, he'd try again tomorrow.
