It was just begging to be eaten, and it was on the lowest shelf of all! He purred happily to himself, "Oh my whiskers and paddy-paws, what a be-au-ti-ful piece of fish!!!!
To say that she was angry would be an understatement He was smacked, and he was scolded, and then he was tied up to the leg of the table by a piece of string, so that he could not get into the larder again when Cook was not looking! It was all most humiliating! And when a cheeky little mouse came by and grinned at him and said, "Good dog! What a pretty lead you've got!

He was very, very indignant indeed! But the little mouse whose name, by the way, was Twinkletoes was really a kind-hearted little mouse, and when he saw how upset the little kitten was, and how thin and hungry-looking he seemed to be, he was sorry and asked what the trouble was. When Inky-Pink told him, Twinkletoes nodded his head and said, "I know! I know This new Cook never leaves even a crumb about I can understand how hungry you must be! Then he said, "I know a house, not very far from here, where they love animals, and always have plenty of food for them - crumbs each day for the birds, and milk for the hedgehogs each night.
I'm sure they would spare a little food for us. And I know the little girl has been wanting a kitten for a long, long time I've never heard her ask for a mouse, but I have heard her asking for a kitten So Inky-Piny-Pooh said, "I wonder if she would like me?
The Old Foodie: Inky Pinky.
I'm sure Cook doesn't want me, and I would so much like to have someone to love me and cuddle me and care for me! Then Twinkletoes had an idea. This seemed an excellent notion, so they agreed to meet at twelve o'clock midnight that very night. And, as Cook had never bothered to untie Inky-Pinky-Pooh, even by midnight, Twinkletoes came back for him and gnawed through the piece of string and set him free! The moon was like a big silver penny shining up in the sky, and the ground was covered with snow.

Inky-Pink and Twinkletoes walked carefully along the tops of the garden walls, and over the roofs, all through the town until they came to the house Twinkletoes had mentioned. It was quite a little house, with only quite a little garden round it, not at all like the big house and garden where Inky-Pink lived. But it looked warm, and pretty, and very 'homey'.
Inky-Pink liked the 'smell' of the house very much indeed, but he did wonder what it looked like inside. He could not go in and out of the little mouseholes like Twinkletoes could, and all the curtains were drawn at the windows, so there was no way for him to be able to see inside. He stood and thought for a minute. So he climbed up on to the top of the chimney-pot and balanced there carefully while he tried to see down it, and Twinkletoes stood at the foot of the chimney-pot and asked anxiously, "Can you see anything? Can you see anything? And then, suddenly, there was the most awful squealing and screeching as Inky-Pinky-Pooh lost his balance and fell right down into the chimney, and Twinkletoes could only see Inky-Pink's tail waving frantically about in the air for a second before it, too, vanished completely down the chimney-pot!
Then Twinkletoes heard a dull, muffled 'thud', and Inky-Pink's "Miaow!
INKY-PINKY-POOH
Whatever has happened to poor Inky-Pink? He looked around and saw that he had fallen on to a lovely white hearth-rug in a pretty, comfy-looking room. In one corner there stood a little tree that glinted with silver and was crowned with a big golden star. Inky-Pink thought he had never seen anything so lovely in his life! And as he looked he saw something else too It was while he was staring at himself in dismay that he heard the door of the room open and the light was suddenly switched on! Standing in the doorway was a little girl in a pretty blue night-gown, and behind her, hastily pulling on their warm dressing-gowns, were a lady and a gentleman!
