About the piece: It's late at night, you and your friend have a hankering for some cheese. You sneak into the pantry and start to gobble down that oh so delicious cheese. After a long day of napping, the cat decided he too needed a late-night snack to give him some energy for the midnight meet up in the alley. Then BAM - cat finds mice (you) and the great escape begins.
