EM: Ellie Mae Kat [black, gorgeously floofy lady cat]
L: Latte [tortie/tabby lady cat aka "Kitten"]
MK: Momma Kat [Latte and Ellie's human Momma, named Kat]
L: Ellie?!? Are you okay?
EM: Umm ...
L: Momma said you and her were spending time back here because you don't feel so good.
EM: Yeah, she's spending a lot of time cuddling with me and telling me what a pretty girl I am.
L: Momma said that when you came to live here, you didn't really like to cuddle!
EM: Her and Bear were always together, so I laid on Daddy's lap. It wasn't until Bear went to live in his box that I found out how great it is to cuddle with my Momma!
L: She's a good Momma.
EM: Ohh! Earlier today, we played with the laser pointer a little bit!
L: Yeah. I ... erm ... noticed that Momma didn't bring any of your favorite toys back here. So ... umm ... here they are.
EM: My red ball! And my rainbow!
L: Your purple yarn ball is missing. I couldn't find it!
EM: But the pink mousie isn't my favorite!
L: Yeah, but the pink mousie makes me feel better when I don't feel so good.
EM: She does?
L: SHHH!!
{Latte whispers in Ellie's ear}
EM: Pink mousie is a BOY?!
L: {sigh}. SHHHH! He's VERY sensitive about that!
EM: Did you see I got a new scratcher for my room?
L: Momma says I'm not allowed to touch it. Like I'm not allowed to lay in your lap bed back here.
EM: But you have all the scratchers and cat beds in the rest of the house!
L: You know how it goes! The scratcher is ... umm ... always greener on the other side of the ... erm ... hallway?
EM: You can lay in my lap bed when I'm snuggling with Momma.
L: Really?!? What about using your scratcher?
MK: NO!
L: You're mean!
EM: Thank you for bringing me my favorite toys!
L: PSST!
EM: what?
L: {whispering} Is it true that they shaved your belly?
EM: Do you want to see?
MK: LATTE!
L: Fine! It's lame in here!
EM: I like it! But I appreciate you bringing me my favorite toys!
L: You're welcome. I'll help you eat your food!
EM: Really?! That's ...
MK: NO!
L: But she said ...
MK: LATTE!
L: Ellie, I know! When the food police leaves, I'll come in and help you eat!MK: As you should know, since you got put on your diet, wherever the food police goes, so does Ellie's wet food.
L: Hmmm ... Oh! Maybe when she's not watching, you can move the food off the plate and hide it!
MK: No. NO. NO!!!!! After tuna-and-whitefish-gate a few weeks ago, we will not make Momma find the hidden food. I've washed everything in this room several times, and I still occasionally get a whiff of something fishy.
EM: Besides, Momma's always watching me! She watches me use the litter box, then uncovers my business to make comments like "not bad" and "okay." She also watches me sleep!
L: Is that why you pooped in my litter box the other day?
EM: No. You know the saying, "Don't poop where you live."
L: You pooped where I live!
EM: Yes, but it's not where I live, so I'm following the rule!
L: Oh, come on. You don't mind Momma being all up in your business. Every time I come in here and Momma's here, you're snuggling with her!
EM: Erm ...well, it's nice to not have to share her! But yesterday, she woke me up to make sure I'm alive! She didn't think I was breathing!
L: You get Momma to yourself, and I'm essentially an orphan!
EM: You have the Poop Scooper!
L: You know he doesn't count!
{Ellie carries the red ball into the bed to play}
L: {whispering to Momma} Can I use Ellie's scratcher now?
MK: Okay.
L: Why are you watching me? Do I watch you when you scratch?
MK: Ummm ...
L: That sounded better in my head.
EM: HIIII-YAH! {WHAP!} Got ya!!!
{Pause}
EM: Prepare to die, Red Ball! You will meet your maker! This is your last chance to surrender before I annihilate you!
L: My job here is done!MK: Thank you, Latte.
L: Yeah, yeah. You can give me some ear rubs later.
