The Minister's Cat

She sits unnoticed in a corner. Beams of sunlight from bright stained glass fall upon her fur like a warm rainbow. She watches people file silently in, hushed and showing proper respect. Yawning, she begins to prepare herself. While heavenly music plays, people raise their voices in song. She slowly preens already perfect fur. Patiently she waits and watches. The music stops and everyone stands. A man in silky robes steps up to the alter and begins to pray. Gracefully she jumps and steps lightly across the organ making her own sweet music to announce her grand entrance, Then she leaps upon the alter and strikes a regal pose. After all, it is she they have all come to worship and she would never disappoint them.
