Calli was chasing Cassie around Life 17 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: playground one day when she tripped over something sticking out 18 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: of the ground. 19 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 2: Ouch, who was that? 20 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,119 Speaker 1: Callie yelped as she sat up after tumbling to the ground. 21 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: She wiped the dirt off her pants and went to 22 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 1: find what had tripped her. Cassie saw Callie looking around 23 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 1: the ground pushing dirt and wood chips out of the way, 24 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: and walked over to her. Did you drop something, Cassie asked. 25 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: Callie shook her head. I was running and tripped over something. 26 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:37,199 Speaker 1: Gotta find out what it was. Then Callie gasped, whoa, whoa? 27 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 2: What is that? 28 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: Cassie exclaimed. Callie had revealed a large circular rock that 29 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: looked like a trapdoor. 30 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 2: Hidden in the ground. 31 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: A carving of a paw with claws covered the entire doorframe. 32 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 2: What the is that a carving of a dog print. 33 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: Wondered Cassie. Kelly frowned that I think it's a cat. 34 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 1: Look at the clawssh Kelly had placed her hand on 35 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: the pop print and both girls had to jump. 36 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 2: Back as the door opened. 37 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: Inside there was a steep ramp leading down somewhere beyond view. 38 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: We have to see where this leads, Cassie pleaded, So 39 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 1: the two girls climbed into the trap door and down 40 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: the steep ramp into a dark tunnel. Holy smokes, would 41 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: you be that brave? 42 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 2: I don't know, that's pretty brave. 43 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: They felt their way along the walls with their hands 44 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: and took very careful steps, struggling to even see what 45 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: was right in front of them. There was a light, though, 46 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: coming from a small opening up ahead. It wasn't big 47 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: enough for the girls to walk through, so they would 48 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: have to crawl. Callie peeked in first, She laughed, and 49 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: then crawled through. 50 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 2: What is it? What'd you see? What's in there? 51 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: Said Cassie, but Callie was already on the other side. 52 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: Cassie got in her hands and knees and followed through. 53 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 1: The girls were now standing in a large room covered 54 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: in furniture. There was a big red couch with claw 55 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: marks on the sides, potted plants that were all the same, 56 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: leafy green, and cat trees of all sizes lining the walls. 57 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: Cassie opened the closet and was greeted with superhero outfits 58 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: and green and red and blue and purple masks. The 59 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: outfits looked small, much smaller than your normal superhero, and 60 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: when Cassie pulled went out, she noticed it had four legholes, 61 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 1: even a spot for a tail. What old Rutler, growled 62 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: a voice from the entryway. They whipped around to see 63 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: a black cat in an orange superhero outfit, arching its 64 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 1: back and staring at them. Its tail puffed out like 65 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: a feather duster. Whoa, whoa, you scared me a waiter? 66 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: Are you a super hero kitty, Cassie asked, still holding 67 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 1: the costume. The cat jumped up onto the nearest cat 68 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 1: tree and looked down on them. 69 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:53,119 Speaker 3: Alum, super cat, how told her found our secret layre? 70 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,919 Speaker 1: Callie shrugged. Oh, I I was playing on the playground 71 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: and I tripped over the door. Just then a stream 72 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: of cats came through the door, wearing superhero suits of 73 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 1: all different colors. The black Cat filled the other supercats 74 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: in on the humans that were in the secret Layer 75 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: and began introducing them on camera. 76 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 3: Littles Whiskers, Crookshunks. 77 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 2: Salom pandle Ronald. 78 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 3: All the rest of the cats are still out. They 79 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 3: are following adostered little. 80 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 2: Doggles Bano, Bano, Bano. 81 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: An alarm cut through and interrupted their conversation. 82 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 3: Sars Ormans rolled down a girl. 83 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: Popular to some Catma Comet said, gesturing to the plants 84 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 1: all around the room. Then with a chorus of meows, 85 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: the superhero cats sprinted out the door. Catsie was right 86 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: behind them. Come on, let's follow them. I gotta see 87 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: what that alarm was for. The girls scrambled out of 88 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: the cat door and saw an orange tail disappearing to 89 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: their left. This was not the same way they. 90 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 2: Had come in. 91 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: There must be more than one trap door, Callie whispered excitedly. 92 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: They followed the sound of meowing and claws scratching in 93 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: the ground until they saw a light above them. The 94 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: cats were exiting up a ramp nowed onto a farm. 95 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: Above the girls watched with their heads poking out of 96 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 1: the trap door. The super cats were surrounding a chicken coop, 97 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: yowling and hissing out into the distance. Callie squinted, seeing 98 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: coyotes sneaking or around toward the chicken coop. The coyotes 99 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: heard the cats, but they weren't scared, not yet. But 100 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: when they got close enough, the super. 101 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 2: Cats sprang into action. 102 00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: Cats flew through the air, leaping, kicking, and scratching at 103 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: the coyotes. A gray, tiger striped cat landed on the 104 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: back of a coyote and covered the coyotes eyes with 105 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: its paw, Hey. 106 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 2: Where'd everyone go? Who turned out the lights? 107 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: Whine The coyotes that spun around The cats continued pouncing 108 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: and hissing until every last coyote had ran away with 109 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: its tail between its legs. The chickens all clucked, happily 110 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: thanking the supercats or protecting them. 111 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 2: Quick they're coming. 112 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: Back, Cassie squeaked to Calli, and the two girls quickly 113 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: snuck back into the door, hiding behind the ramp. No 114 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: sooner had they hid than the supercats began leaping through 115 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: the trap door and bounding down the tunnel. The girls 116 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: followed them, but the cats didn't head back towards the 117 00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: cat door. Instead they ran past it, this time making 118 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: left and right turns through the tunnels until they popped 119 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: up at another trap door. Now they were in a backyard. 120 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: A grill was smoking and a pack of dogs were 121 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: prowling around it, licking their lips. A big juicy steak 122 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: was placed on a plate beside the grill. 123 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 2: Oh dear waiting to go on? 124 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 1: Screeched the cats as they launched themselves at the trespassing canines. 125 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: The dogs were surprised and tried to scare the cats off, 126 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: but it was no use.
