Last week in “Days of Our Nine Lives,” the ARF cats were hoping folk would take advantage of the half-price cat adoptions.
George: The half-price adoption worked last week.
Bobbie: (Stepping in front of George) That’s right! Alice found her forever home.
George: Geez, Bobbie. I was going to tell everyone.
Bobbie: You know that’s my job, so just back off.
George: Just because you’re the office cat? Big deal.
Bobbie: Well, it is a big deal. Hey, look! Here comes Tinkerbell.
Tinkerbell: Hi, guys. Sorry I haven’t been out to meet you before today. Anabel and I have been taking our time, getting used to these new surroundings.
Bobbie: We hope you two are doing better. You seemed kind of scared.
Tinkerbell: It has been scary, you know, losing our mom and being moved to a strange place.
Joey: I know how you feel. The same thing happened to Cali and me. But Cali is already in her forever home.
Tinkerbell: So Anabel and I could have a new forever home pretty soon?
Joey: Maybe, if you’re lucky.
Bobbie: Well, besides luck, you girls need to not be afraid to come out of your hiding to meet the humans. Take it from me, I know. I greet everyone in the office the moment they walk through the door. Joey, you, too!
Joey: I know, but I’m just shy, although I really do like to be petted.
Bobbie: Tinkerbell, where is Anabel?
Tinkerbell: She’s just around the corner. Anabel is a bit shier than I am. Give her some time.
Bobbie: We will. We want all our new cats to feel comfortable, and the ARF humans are working hard to make you both feel better.
Tinkerbell: You’re right, Bobbie. The ARF humans have been very kind to us.
Joey: To all of us!
