Today I came into the garden to find the cats adorned with
wings.
“Playing dress up?” I guessed.
“We are on the hunt for fairies, human,” Sheba told me.
“Fairies. Wow, ok. Good luck with that one,” I muttered.
“Cynicism breeds humiliation,” the cat replied.
“That’s not a saying,” I said, “So why does catching fairies
require costume?”
“Psychological studies show compelling evidence that how
individuals generally perceive others is a stable individual difference that
reveals much about the perceiver’s own personality,” Smudge explained
matter-of-factly.
“And it means they’ll like us more,” Treacle added
helpfully.
I paused. “I’m pretty sure that didn’t make sense, but I
know what you’re trying to say.”
“Now be quiet, human. We must listen for the singing,” Sheba
said.
“Right. See you later then,” I said, and left them to it.
