"Zippity-doo-dah, zippity-ay, watch me, watch me, running away," caroled Xerxes.
All the other kittens cheered and laughed as Xerxes and Oscar flew around the room.
"Bravo! Bravo!" thundered the really-big strange cat who suddenly appeared. "You play well, little ones! Someday, you'll be big and strong like me!"
=^..^=
=^..^=
"C an it be?" stuttered Xerxes, in awe. "Is it...SuperCat?"
"Excuse me, little ones, I am a knight of the road, NOT a hobo!"
"F riend, have you come to teach our little ones how to be wise grown cats while retaining their kitten-like zest?" asked their mother.
"Hello, lovely lady," said the tom, with a leer.
"I'm pleased to meet you," replied Gretta cordially. "And I'm sure my husband, Balthazar, would like to meet you as well. Before we settled down, he was a 'knight of the road' too."

Kibbles, the littlest kitten, broke in, "Tell us about the road! Mommy won't even let us venture outside of the yard," she said with a pout.
Like an old-time storyteller, the "hobo cat" made himself comfortable and began to speak.
None of the humans that loved me so much as a kitten wanted to take care of me anymore.
"One thing followed the next, as I learned the hard realities of life out of doors. Believe me, it was a challenge to survive from day to day! Other cats weren't always glad to see me, hunger gripped my body, nights were cold. And there were dogs, always dogs, chasing me and hollering at me whenever I came too close to human homes. But I learned to cope with all these situations and more. I became a good fighter, in order to defend myself. I learned how to hide. I became a very fast runner — and I learned to hunt. Don't ever leave home, kids! Most cats put out of doors weren't as lucky as I. Things can happen out there which aren't very nice.
"But, in all honesty, I must say there were joys as well. I met a number of wonderful lady cats. I fell in love! I made friends with some guy cats too, which comes in handy when you're living outside. You must learn to respect their territories; and I learned, the hard way. Anyhow — I spent many long and pleasant hours basking in the sun and soaking up the wonderful sights, smells and sounds of nature. The years went by and my travels continued apace. But, my little friends, I'm tired just now and I must sleep for a while. Please excuse me."

(Hey, guys! I waited all day!!)
Racing on their little velvet paws, the kittens giggled and purrmeowed the news to their daddy, Balthazar, who stretched, yawned, and then asked the kittens to describe this fascinating stranger.
