Laiz is a cat who likes 34 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: to spend time alone. He was very happy living outside 35 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: by himself and eating what he could find. But then 36 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: one day someone picked him up and took him to 37 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: a place with other cats and dogs. It was awful. 38 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: Then someone came and took him to a new place. Well, 39 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: it wasn't a new house, but it was new to Blaze. 40 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: Blaze and his owner got along well, and Blaze loved 41 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: exploring the house at night once his owner was asleep. 42 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:26,119 Speaker 1: It was so quiet, until one night when Blaze heard 43 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: a new sound. Blaze and Max. Blaze didn't ask to 44 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: be adopted. He was pretty happy living under a cardboard 45 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: box near the restaurant that produced all the tasty garbage. 46 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: It was so delicious. He didn't know what it was called, 47 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: but he especially liked the long, stringy stuff with red 48 00:03:54,480 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: sauce on top. The only problem was that after eating it, 49 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: he would have to spend the next hour cleaning the 50 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: red splatter off his face. What Blaze liked most about 51 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: living under the cardboard box was being left alone. He 52 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: didn't like people or other cats much. He especially didn't 53 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: like dogs with their loud voices, tongues withdreol on them, 54 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: and big, stinky ears. For some reason, a young person 55 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: wearing tall boots that he couldn't scratch decided to interrupt 56 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: his version of paradise, and, despite his hissing and attempts 57 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 1: to scare her away, picked him up and put him 58 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: in a small cage, and then what did she do? 59 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: She took him and put him in a room full 60 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: of other cats and dogs. Those weeks that he spent 61 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: there were the longest of Blaze's whole life. It was torture. 62 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: Those days are over now, and his life is a 63 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: little better. There is no yummy food with red sauce. Instead, 64 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: there is some dry pebbles that make him super thirsty, 65 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,919 Speaker 1: and some other stuff his big person calls chicken and 66 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 1: rice with gravy, but he was never hungry. Best of all, 67 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: he had his own perch, high up on the ledge 68 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: that surrounded the stairs in his new home. His big 69 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: person seemed kind of old and a bit slow, which 70 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: suited Blaze just fine. He could run past her whenever 71 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: he wanted to, and she could never catch him. She 72 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: didn't seem to mind much either, and would still give 73 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 1: him something to eat twice a day. Most of the 74 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: time time, Blaze would sit high up on his perch, 75 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: listening to his big person come and go, so he 76 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: was still kind of alone. She was always fixing something 77 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 1: or making noise that disturbed Blaze's sleep. Why would she 78 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 1: move into an old house if it always required her 79 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: to fix things? Blaze knew it was an old house 80 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: because it had so many strange smells, creeks, and moans. 81 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 1: His big person would often talk on her phone with 82 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: someone with a younger sounding voice about enjoying living in 83 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 1: a new old house in some town called Montague. People 84 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 1: didn't realize that cats could understand their language, but just 85 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: pretended not to. While the daytime was for sleep and 86 00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:00,799 Speaker 1: avoiding his big person, the night was for exploration and fun. 87 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: He didn't like to admit it, but Blaze loved all 88 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: the toys his big person bought for him. He just 89 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,239 Speaker 1: couldn't help but play with all the bells, furry things, 90 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: and balls she left around. His favorite toy was a 91 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: string hanging from a blanket on a big chair she 92 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: sat in or better or for worse. While he no 93 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: longer lived under a cardboard box, Blaze was content to 94 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: be fed and largely left alone. The final light went out, 95 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: and the sounds coming from the room his big person 96 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: slept in stopped, except for the snorts that she seemed 97 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: to always make. Big people were noisy sleepers. It seemed 98 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: we cats don't make silly noises, he thought. Blaze walked 99 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: across the ledge from his corner to the top of 100 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: the stairs, took a look around, and then pranced down 101 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: the steps to the first floor. It was mostly dark, 102 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: though there were these mysterious lights that would turn on 103 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: whenever he walked past them. This was his time to explore, 104 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: play and sit at the window watching the moving lights 105 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: that twinkled in the distance. He went to the living 106 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: room and sat on the end of the couch looking 107 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: out the window. But then his ears twitched at the 108 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: faintest of sounds, a scratching noise. He leapt down from 109 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: the couch and went to investigate, but saw nothing. Must 110 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 1: be the wind moving a branch, he thought, returning to 111 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: the living room to watch the outdoor lights. Sitting up 112 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: on the edge of the couch, Blaze heard something again. 113 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: It was a soft scurrying, barely audible over the gentle 114 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: hum of the house. He turned his head, his eyes 115 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: narrowing so that he could focus his attention. The sound 116 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 1: was coming from the other side of the room. There 117 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 1: was something, Blaze could see it. It looked exactly like 118 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: one of those toys he liked to play with, except 119 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: except it was moving by itself. Could this be what 120 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: everyone at that shelter talked about? A mouse. It was 121 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: a mouse, and it was tiptoeing across the wooden floor. 122 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,959 Speaker 1: Unaware that he had just peaked the interest of a 123 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: feline observer. Blaze's tail flicked in anticipation, and a spark 124 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: of play lit up his eyes as he prepared to pounce. 125 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 1: The moment Blaze's paws hit the floor, the chase was on. 126 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,439 Speaker 1: With a quick glance over his shoulder, the mouse darted 127 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:14,199 Speaker 1: under the coffee table, his tiny heart racing. You can't 128 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: catch me, he squeaked, a hint of playfulness in his 129 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: voice as he zigzagged past the sofa. Blaze, agile and swift, 130 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: followed close behind, his claws clicking lightly on the hardwood floor. Oh, 131 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 1: I'll catch you, little one, he meowed, more excited by 132 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: the game than the catch. The mouse scurried towards the bookshelf, 133 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: squeezing behind a row of books. Blaze, skidding to a halt, 134 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: peered behind the books, his green eyes gleaming with amusement. 135 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 1: Nice move, but I'm not giving up that easily, he 136 00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: purd The mouse, emerging from the other side of the bookshelf, 137 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: darted towards the kitchen, his tiny gray tail a blur 138 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: Blaze leaped over a pillow on the floor, ran faster 139 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 1: and faster, and was just about to catch the mouse. 140 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: When it was gone. Blaze searched the kitchen. He looked 141 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: in every corner and couldn't find it. He jumped up 142 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: on the counter, knocking over a vase full of water 143 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: and spilling it all over the floor. He even looked 144 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: at the ceiling, but the mouse was nowhere to be found. 145 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: After sitting in the kitchen for an hour or more 146 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: waiting for the mouse to reappear, he was a patient cat. 147 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 1: Blaze went to his bowl, got a drink, and returned 148 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: to the living room to watch the lights until his 149 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 1: big person got up. She would then feed him, and 150 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: if he could escape her pets, he would disappear to 151 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 1: his hiding place at the top of the stairs for 152 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: the rest of the day. That night, Blaze pranced down 153 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: the stairs, determined that if that mouse appeared again, he 154 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 1: would be certain to catch it. Instead of his usual playing, exploring, 155 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: and staring at the outside twinkling lights, Blaze took up 156 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: a position hidden under a chair where he was sure 157 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: he would be able to catch the mouse, and he waited, 158 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: and he waited. The house was quiet, with only the 159 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: usual hum and a gentle ticking of a new clock 160 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 1: punctuating the silence. Blaze's ears perked up at every creek 161 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 1: and whisper of the night, his eyes fixed on the 162 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: shadowy corners of the room. Old houses made all kinds 163 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: of noises in the night, which until now Blaze had 164 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: mostly ignored. He felt a thrill of anticipation. The waiting 165 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: was part of the game and the fun. Then he 166 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: heard it, the soft, almost inaudible patter of tiny feet, 167 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: pit pat, pit pat, pit pit pat pat. The mouse 168 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 1: emerged cautiously from behind the curtain, his nose twitching as 169 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: he sniffed the air. Blaze remained perfectly still, a master 170 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: of stealth under the chair. Suddenly, the mouse stopped and 171 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: turned his head towards Blaze's hiding spot. I know you're there, 172 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 1: you know, he called out, his voice a mix of 173 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 1: challenge and fun. Couldn't help but be impressed by the 174 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: mouse's perception. He slowly emerged from under the chair, trying 175 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: to look nonchalant but ready for the chase. You're pretty 176 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: clever for a mouse, that's what you are, right a mouse, 177 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: Blase said, with curiosity and a hint of respect. The 178 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: mouse laughed, his eyes sparkling with intelligence. And you're not 179 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: too shabby for a cat. I am a mouse, but 180 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: you can call me Max, he added, moving a little closer. 181 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: Blaze relaxed and sat down, his tail curling around his paws. 182 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: I was just getting started, but you're quite the runner, 183 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: he admitted. Max nodded, then sat on his hind legs, 184 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: looking up at Blaze. I have lived in this house 185 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: long before you and that new big person arrived, and 186 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: to be honest, I have been a little bit lonely. 187 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: Last night's chase was the most fun I have had 188 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: in a long time. I prefer to be alone, but 189 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: I do like to chase. I just can't help myself. 190 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: It's like it's a part of who I am. I 191 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: see something moving and I have to chase it, Blaze said, 192 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: looking up like he was pondering the meaning of life. 193 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 1: Max glanced around the room, his eyes reflecting a sense 194 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: of play. How about we change the rules of this 195 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: chase a bit. I can't exactly ignore a cat in 196 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: the house, and I'm sure it would be more fun 197 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: for you if I was here than if I was not. 198 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: Blaze tilted his head, considering, what if we just enjoy 199 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: the chase no catching. Max's whiskers twitched in amusement. A 200 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: game of chase without the catch. That could be interesting, 201 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: he mused, and so that night an unusual agreement was 202 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: formed between Blaze and Max, a cat and a mouse. 203 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: Every night they would play their game. If Max could 204 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: outrun Blaze, Blaze would have to promise to let him 205 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: roam around without pouncing on him every time he sees him. 206 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: If Blaze wins, he would be declared champion of the house. 207 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: Every night the game would reset and start all over again. 208 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: The next morning, Blaze went into the kitchen to have breakfast. 209 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: He was tired after playing their game most of the night. 210 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: Max had won and pranced around gloating until just before sunrise. Blaze, 211 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 1: though a bit grumpy from the lack of sleep and 212 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: his defeat, couldn't help but admire Max's cleverness and agility. 213 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: He watched Max disappear into a tiny crack in the wall, 214 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: his little tail the last thing to vanish. As he 215 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: nibbled on his breakfast, Blaze pondered over the night's events. 216 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: He had to admit it was the most fun he'd 217 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: had in a long time. The thrill of the chase, 218 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: the challenge of trying to outsmart Max, and the unexpected 219 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: turns of their game had brought a sense of excitement 220 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: he hadn't known he was missing. He realized that maybe, 221 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: just maybe having Max around wasn't such a bad thing 222 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:54,959 Speaker 1: at all. As he finished his meal, went upstairs to 223 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: his perch and settled down for a long day of napping, 224 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: Blaze thought about what the next night might bring. Maybe 225 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 1: he could propose a new game, a different challenge this time. 226 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 1: One thing was certain, This unusual friendship and their games 227 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: had only just begun, and many more adventures were waiting 228 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: for them in this new old house. And that is 229 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: the end of our story. Good Night, sleep tight.
