The Talking Box

Gizmo smiles

Gizmo LeGrand: She comed in the door talking to that little blue box thing. There's no peeple in it, I looked. Nothing moving. But I heared peeple voices coming from it. I hav been talking to her sinse she camed home, but she wuz just talking to the box thing. And I heared voices coming out of it. I jumpd up on the table to look at it, but she made me get down. She didn't want to feed us catz but she finly did. Then I told her to giv us treets. And she did. So I gess I had a prety good day, dont you thnk so?

Squeaky speaks again

Mimi's baby picture with Squeaky

I was just remembering Mimi. She iz my baby, even though she duzn't look like me at all. I thout all my kittens had died, but then there wuz Mimi. She just loved me when she wuz a baby. I taut her all about grooming and eating, and we uzed to snuggle a lot.

She iz still my frend, but she izn't a baby anymore. I'm so glad I have her to keep me company.

Gizmo LeGrand tells it like it is.

Gizmo LeGrand: Wuz up? I cn jump up reely hi. My legs, thay are like steel springs. No, seriously, I reely can. And when I strech up on my back lets, I can get stuff off the counters and furniture.
Wait, she just went into the room where our litter boxes are. With the big white trash thing. Uh oh. She shut the door. Something about smelly. I hate when that happns. I cant stand it when a door is shut. I worrie and worrie. I am pacing and trying to bat the door open. Moeoaw! Hurry up.
Oh, whew, all done. Now I have to go chek it out and make sure its ok. And I have to use it first, before the ladys get a chans. Ketch yall later.

Miss Mimi in the room with the soft floor

Miss Mimi: I wuz having a nice day today. I woked up and got brekfast. Then everbody left. It wuz nice. Then he came home, and she came home. And then, then, that human mama came with her kittens. I started to get nervus. The littlest one skares me so much. He wuz pretty good, but then I just cudn't take it. The bigger kitten (can they be the same litter? One is so much bigger than the other one) was sitting and I just had to (hssssss  haaasssssssss) warn him to stay away. And he put his front paw near me and it skared me. I had to show him my claws. Then I got under the big chair thing in the kichn. And when I saw an opening, I ran for the big green chair. Whew! Safety. But then she picked me up and tooked me to the back room so I could sit with him for a while. He was looking at his little black square thing. It has little tiny people inside it. They talk just like regular humans. And they play music and there's even buildings and things inside it. Those humans are littler than mice. Anyhow, the big black square thing was out in the big room with the soft floor. There was moving piktures inside that big box. The kittens sat and stared at it for a long time. I don't get it. Then the mama took her kittens away, outside. I don't know where they go when they go through that door. I hope they didn't have to go to the vet. I don't like it at the vet.

Squeaky

 

Squeeky: I would compleetly happy if they would just stop picking me up. Hey, Gizmo, what are you doing? Get off my back! No, I mean it. Literally. I don't feel like playing right now. I'm bizzy.

Sorry about that. He's so impetuous, our Gizzy is. No, Gizmo, stop it this minute. As I wuz saying, pleeze quit picking me up. I don't like it.

What wuz I saying? Mimi, I am yur mother. I can still put you in your place. Don't believe me? Sorry, I forgot what I wuz saying. Goodnite.

Gizmo Le Grand

Gizmo LeGrand: What iz hazzerd? I just want to make her get up becuz I am hungry. And sometimes making sticks fall on floor gets her up. But then I heared this loud, awful caterwalling sound and I jumped and then something went crash and something else fell and the rug got wet and I hightailed it out of there. and she wuz mad. When she tryed to put rug on yellow branch to dry it fell down. another big crash. Iz she trying to scare me to deth?

Oh, yes, I did finly get fed.

Gizmo Le Grand: She left this wooly thing out just for me. Itz soft and scrachy and it smellz good. It makes me sleepy. I ate. I got treets. Now itz nap time. purrrrrrrr

Miss Mimi: What? And how, exactly, is it your bizness that I am using your plastic hanging thing to brush my teef? What do you mean, don't bite the shower curtn? Why don't you just go to werk alreddy? Leave me alone. 

Gizmo

Gizmo: Did you ever hav a hole day disapeer? I woke up and insted of brekfast, I got stuffed into a cage and then Squeeky got stuffed into a cage. But Squeeky at least got to try to eskape. She put us in the car and off we went. Then we got to the pet doktor place. I don't remember anything after that. Then She came and got us, but it was nite time alreddy. Now I have a place on my leg with no fur. Just nekked skin. And my teeth feel all slippery.

Mimi

Mimi: I waz home alone all day. I found lots of colorful kittens, all over the howse. I brung them to the room with the soft floor. She brung them back where I found them from. She called me yarn theef again. What does that mean?
