well, i was right. the cat is up to something. this morning the cat was stopped by the watch, in our section of the world, the watch is friendly and very polite. so the officer asked the cat how its day was and it responded with a nasty meow and blinked its cat eye rather rudely. well, we just don't hear that kind of language around here! the watch was so taken by surprise that the cat had quietly slipped into a nearby hedge and was nearly invisible. since the cat had not done anything forbidden, the watch continued on their way.
now you might be wonder why that happened at all. well, after watch returned from its patrol, it was decided that we should, as a community, see if we could help. after all, part of our community standard was preventing trouble. so every household would be asked for any applicable information. that will take some time but in the end it would be worth it if we could prevent something like the fish bowl incident from happening.
i wont go into the bowl incident here, but we definitely did record that story on the official record of the watch. for now lets get to efforts the watch and the community went to help the cat, or try, to help the cat. the first thing you need to know is that the community consist of two cul de sac which are directly across from each other. we didnt plan it that way, it just happened to end up like that. the house number are exactly the same. they start at 1 and go to 5 but we include 75, because he lives on the road that goes between the two cul de sac's. 75 is a mature gentle couple who may be 75 but we have never asked. they like our kids and they always bring a large donation of meat to our parties.
now when the cat displayed displayed his temper we thought it could be because at they last party we had ended up with a shortage of hamburger. there plenty of meat but the cat really liked hamburger. we never minded that he sometimes took more than his share, after all he was a great organizer. everyone appreciated his effort getting everybody to commit to being on time and actually bringing what they had promised to bring. no small feat. so we always made sure he got a lot of hamburger, which was usually supplied by 75. (we, and especially, the cat referred to everyone by their house number)
