Tangling with Twinkie

I've always liked Twinkie ever since I met her as a little kitten. She never grew very large, but she compensates for her diminutive size with amazing speed and agility. We played with a piece of tinsel I dragged around the room. I thought I was keeping it a safe distance from her until I felt a claw glide through my hand. I never figured out how she did it; by the end of the games I had seven cuts on my hands, Twinkie's best score to date. I never bled on the carpet; a good time was had by all.
