I woke slowly as morning light crossed my face. Slowly I rose from the dusty rug on the floor if my "pen".
My pen was really the family's disused ground floor porch. The only reason they ever came into it was to run electric cables to the christmas lights. There was only a small rug I'd been able to steel out of the dumpster.
If anyone came over I was sent to the "pen". they didn't want me seen.
I tried the door. It was unlocked. There was a guest here who was staying for the week. Master must want me to clean and cook before he woke up.
I hurried to the kitchen to start The meal. As it cooked I cleaned well away from where the food was cooking. As soon as the meal was cooked I set four trays.
I grabbed my master and mistresses's trays and hurried up the stares. "Breakfast," I called quietly from behind there door.
"Get in here cat," Master's harsh voice sounded.
I entered the room and delivered the trays then went to stand by the door until told to leave. "You will not return to your pen today cat, and as you did such a poor job cleaning no food for the next three days."
"Yes Master," I bowed low as I said it.
"Now get out of my sight." He growled.
"Yes Master," I bowed again and left.
I picked up the next tray and walked down the hall to the guest bedroom.
"Breakfast," I called from the door again.
"Enter," A dry and cold woman's voice called back.
"I made your breakfast Madame," I said as I carefully slipped into the room.
"So you are the Japanese cat I've heard about?" She questioned me as I retreated to beside the door.
"Yes Madame," I answered curiously.
"You weren't to answer that," She snapped.
"I apologize Madame." I hastily looked away.
"Come here," she snapped. Shakily I walked over to the bed. As soon as I was within reach she grabbed my face and pulled me to her. "You and your kind say nothing, at no time do you speak to me. You may announce breakfast in the morning that is all. If you do any more I will have my sun punish you severely. I will be here from now on."
Only now that I was being held right to her face did I notice how old she was. So this was Master's mother.
"Now I want you out of this room. Get going." She sank her teeth into the food then looked at me, "And next time I get served first."
Only moments later I was outside the last room with the final tray. "Breakfast."
"About time!" A angry young voice called out. I entered my Young Master's room. He was only about eleven. I put the tray on his lap and turned to return to the door. Seconds after my back was exposed a plait of eggs hit the back of my head. "I said always pancakes!!" The boy yelled at me.
"I apologize Young Master," I nearly snapped.
"Ya you better, and one more thing, my Grandma says you shouldn't talk, so don't do it again." He smiled sickly. "Oh, and I won't let you leave yet."
I ended up in his room for about an hour, leaving me no time to clean, though not for lack of trying.
When Master came down he punished this with another day of no food. With that out of the way he went to check the cameras around the house. This was their way of making sure I didn't brake their rules. I disappeared into the corner that had been designated as my place when I wasn't working.
