The Tale of Tom Kitten - Short Kid Stories Three fluffy kittens—Mittens, Tom, and Moppet—were dressed in their finest clothes for a tea party, but they couldn't resist playing in the garden. They tumbled in the dirt, tearing their outfits and getting muddy. Their mother, Mrs. Tabitha Twitchit, was shocked to find them messy, so she sent them to bed just as company arrived, leaving the kittens to learn that playtime comes with consequences.
