have you seen it?


Hey Peepers!  You happen to know where my catnip biff bag is?


No, I'm lookin' for the white and yellow one.  The one with the bumblebee print for fabric.


Nope, not that one.


I KNOW that biff bag is white and yellow and is covered in cute little bumblebees; but that's not the biff bag I want.  I want the OTHER white and yellow bumblebee fabric biff bag.


Not that one, either.  I want THE OTHER, other white and yellow bumbl...


'CAUSE I HAVE THREE, THAT'S WHY.  I have three catnip biff bags that are white and yellow with bumblebees, for fabric.  I'm not lookin' for either of those two.  I'm lookin' for the third one.  You happen to know where that one might be?


I'm lookin' for the other one 'cause, well...  Well for starters, those two you're holdin' in your hand are all covered in slobber.


HEY!  Careful with my biff bags.  Don't you be dropping 'em on the floor like that.  A little slobber never hurt anyone.


Besides, it's mostly dried up by now.


MOUSES!


But back to the quest at paw.  Do you have any idea where my white and yellow biff bag with the bumblebee print might be?  My OTHER white and yellow bumblebee biff bag, that is.  You have any idea at all?  I've looked under the chesterfield and both family room chairs.  I don't think I had it in the livin' room so it can't be there.  And I don't think I had it upstairs, either.


Hmmm...


You didn't happen to throw it out, did you?


Just askin'.


Hey, my accusatory tone is too warranted, on account of my knowin' you've been known to chuck out a biff bag or two.


Plus, this mornin' was garbage collection.


MOUSES!


I swear, Peepers, sometimes you go 'round the house on garbage day morning, JUST LOOKIN' FOR STUFF to fill up the bag.  And more often than not, said stuff belongs to me.


MOUSES!


BUT BACK TO THE QUEST at paw.  You happen to know....


Wait a minute.  Peepers, what's that tucked in the corner behind Saffron's hammock, next to the catnip mouse and spinnin' ball toy?  Could it be....


Could it be....


COULD THAT BE MY LONG LOST WHITE AND YELLOW BUMBLEBEE PRINT FABRIC BIFF BAG, I SEE?


OH FAVOURITE BIFF BAG OF MINE: COME TO PAPA, MY FRIEND.


I'm gonna slobber all over you and get nipped as a kite, and...


PEEPERS!  Just where do you think you're goin' with those other two biff bags?


Just 'cause I don't want 'em today doesn't mean I won't want 'em tomorrow, you know.


I KNOW I said they were covered in slobber.  Truth be told, this one I was lookin' for is covered in slobber, too.  Thing is, this one is covered in three-day-old slobber.  Those two are covered in two-day-old slobber.  There's a difference, you see.


We cats are finicky that way.


Finicky, fussy, and almost always hard to please.


MOUSES!

  3. Gee! I hope you find that biff bag Neville!
    Why is it that the thing we like the most tends to go missing so quickly?

  4. The extra amount of spit makes 'em even better!

  5. A days worth of slobber definitely matters. I say this all the time. Sadly though if it is human slobber, not so much. But then human slobber is gross!

    PS I just need to say Mrs H doesn't (yet) slobber. At least I dont think so. But she has been seen to drool over an array of laundry powders etc.

  6. Severs, how is it that Peepers didn't know which biff bag you were looking for AND not know exactly where it was?
