The Adventures of Tori and the Cats, II

Pipsqueak pushed the bathroom door open with a vigorous head butt. Tori slung her head over to look at him as the door swung open. Pip stopped in his tracks. Green eyes met blue eyes.
"You're a cat," said Tori.
Pip nodded.
"I'm a baby," she added.
Pip came forward gingerly and sniffed the air around Tori's head. She brought her arm around to pet him the way Mama helped her to do, but there was a little too much force and Pip jumped back.
"What was that for?" he growled.
"Sorry, Mama does it better," she said. Tori shifted in her Bumbo. "She's in there," she continued, pointing towards the second door.
Pipsqueak nodded. "That's why I'm here. I like to roll around in the shower after she's finished."
"Roll around in the water?"
"Yep."
Tori and Pipsqueak regarded one another with mutual curiosity. Then the shower stopped and in a moment or two the door opened. Pip sauntered towards it. Tori sighed a small ah, and Mama's face appeared. She smiled widely at baby Tori, who gave her a Mona Lisa smile in return.
