It was the middle of the night, and Vinnie and I were fast asleep in bed.
All of a sudden, Vinnie woke up because he heard a noise.
"What's that"?
He asked me.
I sleepily opened my eyes and sat up in bed.
Then, I heard the sound of something falling to the floor.
"Meow"!
Cinnamon, my tortoiseshell cat, was running around the house like a wild animal.
Then, she jumped up on the kitchen table and accidentally knocked over a piece of decoration that was made of plastic.
This woke up the dogs and they all started whimpering.
I yawned and told Vinnie not to worry about it.
About fifteen minutes later, we both heard another noise and this time, I got up out of bed to go and see what was going on.
After putting my bathrobe on, I quietly went downstairs using the flashlight on my phone so I could see in the dark without having to turn on any lights.
When I finally made downstairs, the dogs were fast asleep on the floor and Cinnamon was messing around in the kitchen.
I saw the decoration that had been knocked over, so I bent down and picked it up.
There was a piece of it that had been broken off.
"Did you do this? Cinnamon, I'm talking to you".
I said in a quiet tone to avoid waking up the dogs.
The feline walked up to me and then stood there.
She just looked at me and then let out a yawn.
"Cinnamon. Me and Vinnie are tryin' to sleep. Please keep the noise down, okay"?
I whispered to the tortoiseshell cat.
After putting the decoration and the broken piece away in a safe place so it wouldn't be bothered, I proceeded to go back to bed.
As soon as my head hit the pillow, I fell into a peaceful slumber.
