The trick was to pick up the cats and place them in one of several large plastic pitchers of lemonade Rock's uncle Jim Aikman had placed on a picnic table near the softball field. The idea, introduced by Jim, was to turn the cats into softball players, which made perfect sense to Rock.
"The only thing I don't understand is, how are they able to hold a bat?" Rock said.
He asked this as he struggled with a very aggressive, shaggy fifteen-pound yellow version of the cats around the table. There would be no getting this flailing animal into a pitcher of lemonade, he thought, but before his assessment took hold and Jim answered his question, Rock could see that one of the cats had grown to the size of a typical outfielder. Its hands had opposable thumbs. He wore a pinstriped uniform and had already begun to take practice swings.
Rock also noticed the pitchers were the size of garbage cans. All he would have to do is drop this crazed cat in.
