Notable Moment - The Phoenix and the Carpet

In Chapter 7, Mews from Persia, was my favorite chapter in the story. When the carpet came back with the 199 Persian cats, I started laughing out loud. The children ask the carpet to bring them something from its home and the carpet decided to bring cats. I do not really like cats to begin with and the thought of all of these cats roaming around is slightly gross to me. The distress of the children and the candidness of the phoenix was hysterical.
The cats are walking around mewing, the girls are petting them, the phoenix is hiding because he is worried the cats will eating and the whole time I was giggling to myself. How the children decided that the cats were hungry, I am not really sure, but they decided to send the carpet for food. And what does the carpet come back with, rats. 398 of them. Not only is that disgusting, but hilarious. I was trying to imagine what it would be like for 199 cats to randomly show up in the nursery but then for 398 rats to show up too. Those poor children.
