Angel awoke to the phone ringing. It was Sarina. "Angel, you must come to my house now! she shouted. "Misty has multiplied! She is not just a one in a million cats! She is a million cats in one!" Angel was still half asleep. "Sarina," he mumbled. "Why are you so upset? I know Misty can multiply and she is a one in a million cat, not a million in one cat. That is why I hid her with you." "Not multiply, multiply! She multiplied!" Sarina yelled. "Angel, come over here now before my parents wake up and see for yourself!"
When Angel reached Sarina's house, he saw what she meant. Misty had multiplied. Into hundreds of cats that looked just like Misty. There were Misty cats all over the front yard. "How did this happen?" Angel asked. "It is your fault," said Sarina. "You should have let your Mom and Dad take Misty to be 'spaded'. Now what are you going to do?", asked Sarina.
"I have an idea," said Angel. "Misty is a special cat. She knows how to play, she can climb the highest tree, she keeps mice out of the house and she keeps me company when I am lonely. These other Misty cats are probably just like her. We can give them to other people who need a one in a million cat. It will be easy to find them all good homes." "Well," said Sarina, "it is worth a try. Let's go."
So they gathered up as many Misty cats as they could carry. But everywhere they went, they found that no one had wanted their one in a million cat "spaded" either. The whole town was overrun with everyone's million and one "unspaded" cats.
Angela and Sarina went back home. Misty and her Mistys were waiting. And there were even more than before. They wanted to be petted. They wanted Sarina and Angel to play with them. They wanted to be brushed. They needed their litter boxes changed.
