A kitty for Mal

Our neighbor got a tiny kitty. They named her Stormy and she loves Andy. Every child under the age of 2 is terrified of this itty bitty creature...except Mallory. She loves to toddle after it. Two days ago somehow Mally caught Stormy. We just heard Mal's excited babble and thought nothing of it until she turned the corner. My little girl had the cat by the tail and  was dragging her around like she does her Eeyore stuffed animal. It was cute, funny and sad all at once. Now, Stormy hides  from Mallory and I don't blame her, but the poor baby can't figure out why she can't find (or catch) the kitty anymore.
