Milo was a soft, orange cat.
He lived in a tall, quiet house.
He loved warm naps and soft music.
One day, he heard a tiny sound.
Scratch, scratch! It came from the attic.
Milo tiptoed up the stairs.

There, he saw a little rat.
The rat had big ears and a tiny paintbrush.
His name was Remy.
“Hello,” said Milo. “What are you doing?”
“I’m painting stars,” said Remy.
He smiled and pointed to the wall.
The wall was full of blue, yellow, and pink stars.
They sparkled with glitter and joy.
Milo sat and watched.
“Can I help?” asked Milo.
“Yes!” said Remy. “You can draw the moon!”
So Milo dipped his paw in silver paint.
He made a big round moon.
Then he painted a smile on it.
They painted all afternoon.
They told stories and giggled too.
Remy shared cheese crackers.
Milo brought warm milk.
Soon the attic became a magic sky room.
Stars twinkled, moons glowed.
It felt like a dream.
“You’re my best friend,” said Remy.
“And you are mine,” said Milo.
The cat and the rat smiled.
And every day after,
they painted something new.
Flowers, rainbows, and even flying cupcakes!
The tall house was never quiet again.
It was full of colors, laughter, and love.
All because of a cat and a rat.
