Baudelaire made breakfast, scrambled eggs, toast, and bacon, as it was his turn to make the meals for the day.  Shadow gulped down her food.  Captain Cattitude took his time, which irritated, Shadow. Phoebe got to breakfast late as she slept in.  She came to the dining room table in her jammies.  Shadow just rolled her eyes.  “Well, Shadow today is your big day,” said Suzie.  “Are you excited?” she asked.  “Yes, mam, very excited, beyond excited.  Today I become a cool kitty with superpowers,” Shadow quickly rattled off her words, her voice in a higher pitch than normal.  “Well, then, this is going to be a big day then, “replied Suzie. Captain Cattitude finally finished his meal.  “Come Shadow.  Let’s begin your training,” said Captain Cattitude as he stood up and begin to walk toward his room.  Shadow jumped out of her seat so fast she almost tripped over herself as she rushed to follow Captain Cattitude to his room. 

“Come, sit here,” he pointed to a chair facing him.  “The first power I am going to teach you is how to levitate on-demand,”  “Stand up now,” he said to Shadow.  Shadow jumped to her feet unable to control her excitement. “Now, sit and place your left paw on your head and repeat Mafdet over and over until you start to levitate.  It’s the same thing you did to come down the other night, except focus on going up,” said Captain Cattitude.  Shadow sat and repeated Mafdet over and over, but nothing was happening.  “What’s wrong?

Shadow tried again.  Still, she did not levitate.  “Again, try again,” said Captain Cattitude.  Shadow tried again, and again, hours passed, and she still could not levitate.  “Once more, again,” said Captain Cattitude.  Shadow placed her left paw on her head and begin reciting Mafdet over and over but saying it from your heart and mind.  She began to slowly start to levitate and took on a green eerie glow.  “That’s it continue until you almost touch the ceiling,” said Captain Cattitude Up, up she went.  She felt a bit light-headed from the energy she was exerting.  Captain Cattitude had a wide smile on his face.  Shadow had learned her first superpower.  “Now, bring yourself down by focusing on your heart that you want to come down,” he said. Shadow did as she was told and she began to slowly come down.  When Shadow was on the ground, Captain Cattitude said, “That’s enough for today…”
