“On the way out of the door this
morning, she told me that I was in charge,” said Willie. “I take this
seriously. For one thing, I have no idea if they intend to come back. What do I
know? Nobody actually explains anything to cats!
“May I speak frankly to you?” Willie asked Mr. Baby Sir.
“Of course, dude. Anything you say to me is either forgotten or top secret!” said Mr. Baby, over KittyComm™ “They always come back. I mean, have they ever not come back?”
“I guess either one of those would work,” said Willie, slightly dubiously, considering whether forgotten or top secret was best.
“Suzy and I spend most of the time when we are left to our own resources discussing what in the world would cause them to both leave at the same time. Those big unknowns. Like that whole Green Dog episode. Then the space ship! Make sense of that would you? ‘
“In fact I don’t think they ever saw the Green Dog.”
“Any dog is bad news in my book,” said Mr. Baby Sir resolutely.
“Agreed. And many times, they are fools, safely ignored,” said Willie. “In any case, we are stuck here. For the time being.”
“My lady leaves a window open when she is home. I come and go as I wish!” bragged Mr. Baby Sir. “I only get imprisoned when she is going out for a while, if she doesn’t drag us along on leashes.”
“By the way, how is Charley getting along these days? All Chill? Serene?” inquired Willie.
“Oh yes, she’ll do. She never did raise too much of a fuss here. For some reason, your place just flat bugs her!” said Mr. Baby.
“Did she ever say why?” said Willie.
“Nope. She didn’t. But my theory is that her earliest memory is of nearly dying there, even though that was also the place where she was rescued. Maybe it’s an odor she can’t forget,” said Mr. Baby. “It’s like it’s subliminal!”
“Hmm,” said Willie. “I can’t argue against that. It makes as much sense as anything else, or more!”
“But, back to unknowns, I do know some of them since she leashes us up and puts us in the car. I think the car is just a way for them to go places that they can’t walk to, like it’s too far. When we go to your house it takes forever. Hours!
“The outside is really big! It goes on and on, and I think it might be even bigger than I know! We just don’t know how far it goes!” said Mr. Baby.
“That’s pretty much why I’d like to escape, at least for a while. I’d like to know!” said Willie. “But, yeah, so when they’re gone I’m in charge.” He laughed. “In charge of what? Suzy, I guess. She mostly sleeps, and I sit and think. You’re a cat. You know what we do. We listen.”
“We do that, Willie! Can’t let ‘em sneak up on ya!”
“Hi,” said Suzy suddenly popping
into the conversation without warning, “What are you two talking about? Me?”
“Nah, nothing, Suzy,” said Willie.
“Top secret, Suzy!” giggled Mr. Baby!
“Oh. Then it was me,” said Suzy.
This pleased her quite well!
