The Search for A-Pop
Is the source of all chaos & disintegration in the entire universe living in your home?
January, 2001

Why do things go wrong? Scientists and philosophers have been baffled by this question for thousands of years. But, after what has been happening here at the TLC Cat Club, I am able to reveal Why Things Go Wrong. Her name is Arabella GingerPop.

Nobody took much notice when things started go awry this month. When one of the water heaters went out, they simply repaired it. Then another water heater went out. And the washing machines developed a problem, too. Still, nobody was very alarmed.

Next, the pet supply warehouse called to say that cat litter was on back order and would be late. (Having no cat litter is when you really know things are going wrong.)

And finally, one of the skylights at the WildCats Village leaked during a big rainstorm and Topcat Jimmy got wet. (Jimmy hates getting wet.) Plus, lightning struck a nearby tree, blew the electrical circuits at Cat HQ, and knocked out the computer modems there.

That was when my investigative assistant, Tammy the Greyhound, and I looked at each other and realized that we were almost certainly dealing not simply with things “going wrong,” but with a supernatural force of nature: Arabella GingerPop.
