Nice Cats

My neighbor had a great story to tell the other day about her very young granddaughter, who loves kitties. They went to visit a friend who had a cat, which the child was pretty excited about seeing. So it went down pretty hard when they found out that the kitty in question wasn't a 'friendly' kitty and was best left alone by small children. "Not a nice kitty," said the friend.

So the visit went on without the cat, or so they thought, until some time later when the child, who had been playing on her own, returned and interrupted the conversation to announce that "That kitty nice! That kitty very friendly!"

Moment of pause here to reflect, said my neighbor, on whether they'd been too long enjoying their wine and conversation...

"Where did you see the kitty?" they asked.

"Under the bed."

Almost afraid to ask, they wanted to know what the kitty did...

"That kitty so nice. When I saw it under the bed it said "HHHHHHHHHi."
