Today Cedric saw a package from a store in the lady's hand. She opened it and out came an Organ Grinder Monkey costume. She was laughing about the little costume. She sat Cedric on the table and put the hat, vest, and pants on him. He could not move because the elastic felt so strange. He didn't know how much fun he was causing! He was so funny- looking dressed as a monkey! He was glad when the lady took off the outfit.
Cedric had tangles in his hair that made it difficult for him to scratch behind his ears. His little claws got caught in the tangles and he got scared and yipped. His mommy tried to comb and brush out the knots, but Cedric didn't like that at all. Once, he ran away and hid when he saw the brush! One day his mommy cut all the long hair off, and got rid of those bad knots. Now Cedric is happy because he can scratch behind his ears, and even run in the tall grass without getting leaves stuck in his hair.
One day Cedric was sitting on the nice cool floor. He was trying to sleep for a few minutes. The lady walked up to him and picked him up. She was saying some things about bathtime. Soon Cedric was in some bubbly warm water. It was horrible. He was scared. He wanted out. Soon he was clean and dry. And then he was happy.
Cedric was quietly sitting on the sofa one day, when the lady suddenly sat bedside him. She was holding a comb and a small bow. She started talking to him with a happy voice. She combed his hair and placed a bow on the top of his head. He felt very unhappy, because he is a little boy. He soon tore out the bow with his little furry paws.
