Mr Tibbles made a hiss and swiped at the beetle, knocking it sideways as it seemed stunned. Crooks was there at the same time as the street cats, all of them with claws out and making swipes for the beetle, flying and darting frantically in various directions. We don't want her dead, just stunned! Crooks thought as he took an exaggerated slap towards the beetle and instead knocked over the mange-riddled street cat that seemed to want to eat her. The beetle that was Rita Skeeter seemed to have a broken wing, and was left to crawling on the street as the cats circled her, hissing ominously.
