Special Toll

In honor of the 4th of July, the Stair Toll is payable ONLY in Tummy Rubs.

Why, you ask?

Because Tummy Rubs inevitably result in the deployment of our Murder Mittens…

A grumpy dilute Tortie lounges at the top of a staircase, exposing her snowy white belly.  She is meowing aggressively, presumably explaining to a human that the toll is payable only in tummy rubs.

…and we Toll Collectors are feeling rightly annoyed by the continuous barrage of bangs, pops, and booms with which you Humans celebrate this Cat-forsaken holiday!
