| | Hungerford's Dog (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17) |
 | | When Abzug was outside, dozing in the sun, her tail twitching as she dreamed of rabbits, dog biscuits, and Hungerford, whom she loved, the cats slank from the recesses of the house to nervously sniff at Abzug's blanket. |
 | | Each morning before dawn, as Hungerford's dog slept at the foot of Ray's bed, the cats bathed in an arsenic and kryptonite mixture, poured into the back bathtub with the touch-sensitive faucets. |
 | | Having developed an immunity to most toxins in the long-ago dumpster of their birth, the cats carefully blow-dried themselves by the dryer vent and lay in wait for Abzug's awakening, flicking their tails thickly and with menace in the morning sun. |
