Ally the cat was walking around content with her life, humans all to willing to scratch her back or cuddle her. How to avoid them you ask? Show the butt. To face ones butt towards the lowly humans, one asserts dominance and shows control in the relationship. Except there was a problem. The one time that Ally truly needed the humans though, they weren't there. The nerve! She was willing to cuddle them to get scratched and they had left the house. So Ally went on an expedition to find the perfect object to rub against. She used to have a vase that hit her back perfectly, but then one day she got bored. Let's just say that the fireplace was a lot higher than Ally thought. Check in the bedroom. Nothing. Bathroom. No, the toothbrushes weren't out today. Ally almost gave up hope, but then she saw a gleam out of the corner of her eye. Sitting perfectly on the windowsill, a nice lamp!

A cat is wandering the way cats do and comes upon a lamp, a perfect place to rub when, suddenly, out bursts a genie. The cat is alarmed. It runs off and then turns. The genie somehow communicates: three wishes. And so the cat wishes. What happens? What does the cat become? What does it do? [Photo Credit: Rachael Coe]
