I'm only a kitten.
I'm young and small
I don't know much at all.
It's scary here, all alone
The owners have gone away from our home.
Bang, crash! What was that?
I must not be a scaredy-cat.
My whiskers tingle, my ears prick
My tummy starts to feel sick.
Something moved. What was that!
Phew, it’s just my owners coming back.
