How Spitty Got Her Floofy Tail

There's a mystical place where kittens are put together & prepared for their life on earth. Most roll through the assembly line & out the door without a hitch. But this day the Assembly Line Supervisor looked up from his clipboard as a kitten floated by, and he pulled the lever to stop the conveyor belt. He briefly touched the sleeping kitten and then walked briskly down the hallway to the Special Services Division.
"Hey," he said to the guy behind the desk. "Look at this," h
e turned his clipboard around to show.
"That kitten has a rough road ahead of her," the other guy agreed. "What do you want from me?"
"Well," the Assembly Line Worker said, "I wondered if you had any leftover parts or something special I could tack on to help make up for what she's about to go through."
The Special Services guy sighed and said, "I'll check." He dug around under the counter for a minute and then stood back up. "How 'bout this extra special floofy tail leftover from last week's show cat shipment?"
The Assembly Line Guy exclaimed, "It's perfect!" And skipped back down the hallway to the paused conveyor belt. He attached the special tail, touched the little kittens face and whispered, "You're gonna be okay... Itty Bitty Spitty Kitty." Then he wiped a tear from his eye, pulled the switch to restart the conveyor belt, & watched the kitten continue on her way.
