JP - Whiskers has a Problem

Whiskers ran deep into the forest to a patch of potent wild catnip. He was eating leaves and rolling around.

Herbert walked up to him and sat down. “You have a problem, Whiskers.”

<Your problem is you have wings and never fly.> Whiskers giggled, enjoying the catnip induced hallucinations.

Rolling his eyes, Herbert sat on Whiskers. <I don’t need wings to fly.>

<You’re crushing me! Get off!> Whiskers gasped.

<Apologize for being so mean to the others then.> Herbert grunted.

<Sorley got in my way and then Gelf grabbed me!> Whiskers objected. <And they won’t bring back my Goddess.>

<That’s because they don’t know where your Goddess is, Whiskers!> Herbert got up and turned to look at the cat. <She was taken away by very bad people and Gelf has been trying to find her, but it’s difficult. We just have to be patient.>

<They’re metas, they’re even more powerful than normal humans. It shouldn’t take this long.> Whiskers growled.

<It’s not that simple…> Herbert sighed and shook his head.

<YES IT IS!> Whiskers hissed. <It took Kiana three minutes to rescue me from MegaCorp!>

<They were already in the building and had help getting in there.> Herbert told him. <They also had Evie’s help, but now they don’t…>

<No excuse.> Whiskers hissed.

<Then you're just a brat.> Herbert snorted. <Evie wouldn't approve of your behavior.>

<The Goddess is gracious and merciful.> Whiskers flicked his tail. <Right now I bet they’re all in the house watching TV instead of saving my Goddess.>

Herbert rolled his eyes at Whiskers.

<HERBERT! THE MOVIE IS STARTING!> Kiana sent.

<See? They’re watching a movie. They’re not even looking for my Goddess.> Whiskers licked his paw. <I should scratch them all.>

<Maybe you should go inside and watch what Gelf does during this movie time, you ass.> Herbert snorted again and thwacked poor Whiskers with his rear end before heading inside.

Canestone was right about one thing, cats are illiterate. Whiskers could not read Gelf’s screen so he did not know what she was doing, he just assumed she was looking at porn because that’s what humans did with their devices. Except for his Goddess, of course. His Goddess researched scarves and did therapy by telehealth. Whiskers ate a few more catnip leaves before following Herbert back inside.
