🐈‍⬛In Which The Girls Stage a Protest & Gossip a Bit

 

            “Suzy, I’ve been wondering how it’s going down there under the desk these days?” said Toots, who was communing with Suzy from her favorite retreat amongst the lumber. It’s nice there, and a girl can really think.

            “Well, as they say, it’s going,” said Suzy, when she picked up the transmission. “Those two still look at me. They’re bigger all the time. Maybe there’s been a terrible mistake, and they are actually jaguars?”

            “I wouldn’t like to live with two jaguars either! How do you manage, Dear?” said Toots, imagining it all too well.

            “I protest! What else can I do?” replied Suzy. “I hiss, growl, and go for their noses!”

            “If it were me, Honey, I would scream like a banshee!” agreed Toots.

            “As far as my accommodations, it’s quite nice! I have everything I need, except the run of the house!”

            “You know what I protest?” said Toots. “The ignominious lack of respect given Felicette, the French cat who was sent into space! The Tom, who was supposed to take the trip, ran away when danger threatened, which was actually pretty sharp of him, so they battened onto dear Felicette, who was said to be a stray of the streets so that no one would care about her fate!”

            “Oh! What happened?” said Suzy.

            “She was a Tuxi, too! It isn’t right!” said Toots. “She was sent into space. But not like we do it, which is completely harmless! Then the space capsule came back down, with a parachute, and she survived the trip.

            “There should have been a parade in her honor, but no, Suzy. They 'put her to sleep' and examined her brain!” whispered Toots.

            “Oh, for shame! What did they expect to find? Little tiny ET’s?” said Suzy.

            “The mind boggles!” said Toots. “I’m sure it would be different now! That was a long time ago.”

            “I must admit that these big spotty, stripy dummies don’t endanger my life. They just make me feel all edgy and nervous,” said Suzy, while keeping a sharp eye out for the same.

            “By the way, how’s your boyfriend?” said Suzy.

            “I haven’t seen him in a while, and he better keep it that way! Ahem! Thank you!”

            “Oh, I thought you liked him! Ah, see anything else interesting out of your window?” Suzy was giggling now.

            “Not lately. But I think they know I’m watching, so they stay away,” said Toots, looking fierce.                

            “Brrrrt! Ewwww!” growled Suzy. “What would you do if you saw something OFF?”

            “Scream! You betcha! Until he came out to see!” said Toots.

            “Well, just pray that the Red Dot doesn’t come to your house! We are haunted by it! I never know when it will appear, and it is fickle and elusive above all things! It cannot be captured or eaten. It has no substance, Toots! It’s horrible beyond belief and definitely OFF!”

Suzy said in an awed voice. “I protest the Red Dot, but I don’t know if that will do me any good.”

            “Suzy, let us Purr™ together that the Red Dot never comes to our houses!” said Toots.

            “Ameow!” said Suzy.

            “Ameow, indeed!” said Toots.

            So, having said their bit for today, the girls bid you a very pleasant Suzday, and say Goodbye for now!

 

MEOW!
