The Latest Word From KittyComm™

 

 
            “I met a new cat today!” Suzy was bursting with the news. She had gone to find Willie to tell him all about it. She found him lounging, (sleeping) on the gas heater, the coziest spot of all.
            “Oh, a new one? Not Toots or Sammie, or Buddy, or Charley, or Mr. Baby? Who is this one?” said Willie, stirring himself enough to open his eyes.
            “If I tell you  her name, you will laugh at her, Willie,” said Suzy.
            “Come on. How bad can it be,” said he.
            “It’s not bad. But you’ll laugh at her. And she is a very smart cat!” insisted Suzy.
            This was beginning to sound a little interesting, so he woke all the way up.
            “Tell me. I promise to be nice. Trust me!” grinned Willie.
            “I trust you to laugh, that’s all! Her name is Sleeky Sue  There!” said Suzy.
            “OK. Sometimes we get a weird name and there is nothing we can do about it. People lay some mighty strange names on us! I heard of a cat called Diagonal. Then there was Botulism. Why? I don’t know.
            “What’s her claim to fame, Suzy. There must be a reason you’re so excited,” said Willie.
            Suzy hopped up on the heater also. Best place to be, really. That pilot light provides just the right amount of heat for a cat’s belly. But I do digress…
            “Number one, she is free. She has made her own way in the world! Her adventures are almost beyond belief, but I do believe her! I can tell when a cat is lying,” said Suzy, with a meaningful little nod to her brother.
            “See. That’s why I aim to bust out of here! What can I do stuck in here all the time?” groused Willie, who actually has it pretty good considering all the mathematical possibilities.
            “Even if you did bust out of here, you wouldn’t do what Sleeky Sue has done!” said Suzy.
            “Sue is the brains of a three person business. An ice cream shop in Missouri! They call it frozen custard there. Weird?” said Suzy.
            “She was really excited to find out about KittyComm™, and she promised to talk more when we can all get together. She will tell us about Maurice and Folkie Joe. She promised!”
            “Are those two cats also?” said Willie.
            “I don’t think so. They are in the ice cream business with her,” said Suzy.
            “Let’s call it a night then, Suzo. Maybe we’ll hear more later,” said Willie, already nearly asleep.
            “It’s just another open thread anyhow,” said Willie. “You know how that goes.”
            “Yeah,” said Suzy. “Sometimes storylines get all mixed up. But we  have fun anyhow!”
            “That’s the main thing,” said Willie.
            Suzy laughed a little to herself and then dropped off to sleep also.
