     You could actual see them move    
like no cat I’d ever seen do, and      
believe me, I’ve seen a lot of cats. I 
have around a dozen on my farm right   
now.                                   
     I’m not a veterinarian, but one   
thing I did know was that cats did not 
move their mouth and jaws like that. It
was creepy and even a little scary, and
what the hell was going on here?       
     If I was starting down the road to
Crazyville, then this was just an      
illusion that I was creating to help me
along the way, and that meant the Cat  
was really me, talking to me.          
     Maybe, all I had to do was trip   
myself up.                             
     So, I got back in the chair and   
asked the Cat, or myself, “What        
happened to you?”                      
     “Genetics happened,” and I could  
see its fucking tongue moving around   
inside its mouth, helping to form the  
sounds to each word. If this was an    
illusion, I was putting on one hell of 
a show for myself.                     
     The Cat continued, “You’re probab-
ly thinking that this is all some kind 
of hocus-pocus, and that you’re really 
talking to yourself. Don’t you?”       
     That was an odd question to be    
asking myself, I thought, and then     
asked it out loud, “That’s an odd      
question?”                             
     “Not really. If I was you, I’d    
already know the answer and wouldn’t   
need to ask myself, but there might be 
one way to prove I’m not your imagina- 
tion. It might not be absolute proof,  
but it’s the best I can do while I’m   
stuck in here. Unless, you wanna take a
picture of me?” the Cat asked, and then
smiled.                                
     It was a really creepy smile.     
     I cringed and said, “No thanks,   
they won’t let us bring our phones in  
here, but let’s see what else you got?”
I asked and went dumbfounded again, as 
the Cat pulled out a smart-phone and   
used it to look something up.          
     “I just sent you a short documen- 
tary anyway,” the Cat told me, and then
added, “At this very minute, your      
credit-rating is 737 points. The last  
time you looked it up, it was... eleven
points lower.”                         
     She put the smart-phone away, and 
then asked, “Now, if I’m you, then how 
do I know that?”                       
     That was a really good question.  
Maybe I was taking a lucky guess, or   
sleep walking and that’s when I looked 
it up. Even that one sounded outrageous
to me, but then again, how outrageous  
is a talking Cat, huh?
