look at me!


"Look at me!  LOOK AT ME!"


"LOOK AT ME!"


We're all lookin', Saffy.  Peepers, Peep #2, me...  We're ALL lookin'.  We're lookin' at you.  So now, do you think you could stop with the yellin'?



'Cause it's givin' me a headache, for sure.


MOUSES!


"LOOK AT ME!!!"


Yeah, yeah, you've gone and climbed a tree.  Big deal.  I've climbed a tree or two in my nine lives, as well.  We're cats.  We climb trees.  It's kinda what we do.


And just wait 'til you wanna come down.


MOUSES!


"WHAT'S THAT, SIVVERS?  I'M TOO FAR AWAY TO HEAR YOU.  I'M TOO FAR AWAY BECAUSE I'M SO VERY FAR UP IN THIS TREE."


I see that, Saffy, my man.  You're all the way up that big ol' maple tree in the backyard.  Well up as far as kitties can climb, that is.  Squirrels'll climb higher on account of their bein' able to climb the itty bitty teeny tiny branches; but we cats can only climb as high as the stronger ones.


Branches, that is.


MOUSES!


"LOOK AT ME!!!"


WE'RE ALL LOOKIN'.  I already told you that.  We were lookin' when you were yellin' at the foot of the tree before you climbed the darn thing, and we're all lookin' now that you've gone and done so.  We're all lookin' at you!


And now, if you would be so kind as to come back down to the ground before Peepers goes into cardiac arrest with worry, that would be great.


'Cause she's our number one can opener, you see.


MOUSES!


"LOOK AT ME!!!"


I already told you we're lookin', Saffy.  We've seen all there is to see.  Now get down here this instant.  Get down here right now!


*impatiently taps paw on the ground*


GET DOWN HERE, SAFFY.  NOW!


"Look at..."


"Uh..."


"Um, Seville?"


Yes, Saffron...


"How do I uh..."


Close your eyes, come down tail first, and hold on for dear life with your front claws.


Told you it would be harder comin' down.


MOUSES!


"LOOK AT ME!!!!!  I'm back down on the ground."


'Bout time, too, Saffy.  Peepers was 'bout ready to faint.  I was worried I'd have to resuscitate her, or somethin' like that.


And the very thought was grossin' me out.


MOUSES!

MOUSES!

  4. Goodness gracious! Glad you were there, Severs, to talk Saffy down. I hope he doesn't try climbing again soon.

  5. Saffy's vocab sure needs to be extended. Maybe to include 'Look at you', or more usefully, 'Please, Seville, have my supper and treats too.' Thems great phrases, MOL
