the ol' peep


It's rainin', it's pourin'...


Come on, everybody.  Sing along with me!


It's rainin', it's pourin'.  The ol' peep is snorin'.


What?  What's that, Peepers?  What's that you're babblin' on about now?


You're not?  Huh.  Funny, 'cause I'm sure I heard somebody snoring.  Must have been Saffy, then.


MOUSES!


What?  What's that, Saffron?  What's that YOU'RE babblin' on about now?


Snorin'...  Purrin'...  Whatever.


MOUSES!


But in all fairness, Saffy.  You DO have a super loud purr.  If you were a car, Peepers would be takin' you to Dr. T. to check on your muffler.


BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....


My gosh I crack myself up.


MOUSES!


But you know somethin', my friends?  My brother Saffy Saffron Sassifras...


Yes, I STILL call him that, sometimes.


As I was sayin', my brother Saffy Saffron Sassifras does have a super loud purr.  Why, his purr is so loud...


It's SO loud...


His purr is so loud, it's practically deafenin'.


MOUSES!


Not that I, Seville the Cat, am deficient or anythin' like that in the purr department.  I, too, have a super loud purr.  But sometimes...


Well sometimes...


Well sometimes a purr is a whole lot louder when the purrin' is bein' done by somebody else.


It's true.  It's kinda like when Peepers does her caterwaulin'.


Caterwaulin'...  Singin'...  Whatever.


MOUSES!


But back to the point at paw.  As I was sayin', it's kinda like when Peepers starts caterwaulin'.  Oh sure, she THINKS she's caterwaulin' to herself but the truth is, that screechin' can be heard miles and miles away.  Peepers might be hummin' a little tune to herself - SUPPOSEDLY - but the next thing you know, Saffy and I are runnin' for cover and all the neighbourhood dogs are startin' to howl, and...


What?  What's that, Peepers?  What's that you're babblin' on about NOW?


Fine.  It was just just the one neighbourhood dog who was howlin'.


What?


Fine.  He was probably howlin' at somethin' or somebody else.


BUT SAFFY AND I WERE MOST DEFINITELY RUNNIN' FOR COVER.


And not for the first time, either.


MOUSES!

  3. One cat's purring and caterwauling is another cat's ... MOUSES! We're not exactly sure what they are for the other cat. But they do sound mighty loud, Sivvers!
