I’m working at my desk when Laurence (our big, fluffy black cat) comes in and starts crying loudly behind my chair.
CAT: Come quick! Timmy fell down the well!
ME: We don’t have a well.
CAT: Come! It’s an emergency!!!
ME: Nor is there anyone here named Timmy.
CAT: Help! You have to come now!
ME: You can see the bottom of the cat food dish, can’t you?
CAT: ….
ME: Hmmn?
CAT: Fine. Yes.
