“What was that?” He sat up in bed.
“What?” She turned over.
“I heard a scratching at the door. Someone's trying to get in!”

“I'm protecting us from intruders!”
He stood by the door, listening. The scratching grew more insistent, as if whoever was there was determined to claw through. He raised his weapon and fired three shots.
Silence ensued.
“You fool, you probably killed somebody.”
“I wasn't aiming…” He pulled the door open.
An orange tabby sat, staring.
“Meow!”
