The man stripped everything from the cage and washed it, while the children went to the desks in their rooms and worked quietly. The house was still and busy. Betty didn't know quite where to be with everyone in different rooms, but she settled on the kitchen, where the man was looking in the refrigerator and talking to himself about options with chicken.
After a while, the lady came home, which made Betty very excited. Nothing was better than everyone together. The lady poured food into Betty's bowl, sprinkling a liver treat over everything.
After the man and the lady and the children ate their dinner, the lady took Betty for a walk. Just two blocks, but they spotted no less than five cats, the last of which was too pregnant to run away from Betty at all. The lady talked to Betty the whole time, saying that's just too many cats outside on a cold night in the city. And the pregnant one means more cats to come.
