Overall the Dedes are a mellow lot. Even Cat does not touch Mouse, despite it is totally against her nature. Sometimes we can observe Cat eying Mouse up and watching her every move, but she wouldn’t pounce on her. It is not that Cat respects Mouse, no, she doesn’t. Their lifestyles couldn’t be more different. Cat believes Mouse is a goody two shoes and a busy body. The truth is Cat just can’t be bothered with Mouse. Cat is a student of Urban Social Structures and has to roam around the neighbourhood a lot for her studies. Apart from this, she sleeps a lot and eats even more – as every good student does – and when the tom cats come out at night to party, she is there too.
Last night Cat came to visit me. She does this very rarely. She keeps more to herself unless she is hungry. So I was expecting that she wanted to score a free dinner and invited her to stay for a bowl of my broccoli soup. But she declined politely.
“I have to say, I was incensed by Mouse’s behaviour today!” She was airing her disapproval of Mouse using a cat punching bag.
“It wasn’t a real cat, not even a stuffed one” I replied
“She truly hurt my feelings! And I want you to address it”
“That is between you and Mouse, I can’t interfere here. You know I try not to take sides.” I refused to help her out.
“But sometimes you have to take sides, for example when there is an outrages injustice”
I had to reminded her that she got six toy mice at her last birthday party.
“Yes, but that is normal, isn’t it?” she replied sulkily, looked at me like only a cat can, and slinked off.
She is another one I might not see for a while….
