A black sheriff cat sat uneasily in a metal cage. Beside him were other supercats whose thoughts filled his mind.
"What shall I do? What shall I do?"
"We are doomed once we are captured by the Headless Horseman!"
"I heard he likes to play with cats. We will surely be played to death."
After hearing the panicky thoughts of the nearby cats, the black sheriff supercat shook his head and shut off his superpower. He felt better when all was quiet.
An obese black and white cat came to the cage and sized him up before saying, "Are you sheriff? The mind reading supercat?"
The black sheriff supercat looked intensely at Roly Poly and listened to his thoughts.
Roly Poly thought, "If you listen to my thoughts, I will torture you to death."
"Well…" The sheriff said reluctantly, "Yes, I am. Though I can read minds, I don't usually use it as it affects my quality of life."
