It's evening in the McFarlane home, and the Crew of Merry Mayhem is
busily sending messages to each other, via runes carved into their food.
The cats can hear them giggling, and AT is almost hit by a piece of
flying kibble.  He spins around to find Galadriel standing by the cage
door, eyes gleaming, kibble in mouth where she caught it in mid flight.
Her eyes dance with delight and mischief, and suddenly she flings her
head, the piece of kibble sailing to the cage next to her.
 
"Pssssttttt, Muffin, wake up!" Kibble goes flying into the cage where
Muffin lives with her group of girls.
 
"What the, who did that, who....." Muffin looks up to see Galadriel
smiling at her, laughing actually.
 
"Read the runes and pass them on" Galadriel whispers.
 
This scene is repeated with different size kibble flying all over the
room to all the groups, and in some cases, Cheyenne, Delilah and Chopper
get Puck the cat to help carry the food that falls onto the floor.  Puck
pauses, looks at the food trying to decipher the runes.  He finally gives
in to the natural curiosity of a cat, sits down in the middle of the room
and looks at the ferrets.  By now they've all quietly gathered, each
group watching the cat with bright, interested eyes.  "Puck----Puck, can
you decipher that message?"  This is softly called by Arwen, the oldest
of the group, and the wisest.  "Try, Puck.  See what you can make of it."
Meanwhile, Pepper paces up and down, giggling and repeating "silly cat,
he won't be able to read it!"
 
Puck puts his head down, moves kibble around and then slowly says, "Robyn
Ant, August 2006." He looks up, cocks his head to the side and scratches
his chin.  He looks at Arwen with his blue eyes and asks: "What's a Robyn
Ant?"  At this all the ferrets collapse into hysterical giggles, some
hiccuping.  Suddenly Pepper yells "Straighten up, Momma is coming!"
