The curious case of Baby Cat

Oh, how we love Baby Cat.
She has her own voice.
She sleeps with Annie.
She eats with Annie.
She goes everywhere with Annie.

The other night, I drove to the parking lot in a shopping centre to find Baby Cat.
We thought that she was lost.
I was so worried.

But she was in Annie's handbag.
Sleeping soundly.

Who would have thought that Baby Cat could have such a profound impact on our family.
She is just a stuffed animal after all.

Or, is she?
