At the edge of the cloud meadow, a silver kitten named Tansy tucked her cape tight and waited for the moon-purr. It only happened when the big crescent hummed low enough to tickle her whiskers, and Tansy wanted to catch one purr all for herself in the bell under her bow.
She padded beyond the soft cloud tufts, past cold star-grass that prickled her paws. Halfway up a moonbeam, she heard a squeak like a hiccup in a teacup. A tiny echo-bat dangled from a star, shivering. “Don’t tell,” it whispered, “but I lost my squeak.” Tansy opened her bell to lend one small moon-purr. The bat’s ears wiggled; the purr bounced back twice as bright, warm as cinnamon toast.
Tansy carried the jingling purr home, but it would not stay secret. It buzzed in her cape, wobbled in her fangs, and made every sleeping bat grin. Next time you spot Tansy under that crescent, lean close—her whiskers may still be tickled by the moon-purr.
