Scrap #2

Alice's parents would have had a fit, of course. She dried the last of the dishes, briefly suppressing the urge to drop one for dramatic effect. This is was less so because she felt that there was something necessarily wrong with dropping a plate, but more so that the cleaning bit would have been incredibly inconvenient, and her cat had a habit of eating things he shouldn't.

For his part, Jasper, her tabby, stared at her with a curious combination of love and total disinterest.

"Wouldn't it be an interesting ride, Jasper?"

Jasper, for his part, refused to meow on cue and walked off to investigate something more interesting.

Alice smirked. If that cat thought he was ever going to get another can of tuna behaving like that, he was sorely mistaken.
