Mistoffelees woke up as the sun was rising the next morning. Everyone was still going to be watching Deuteronomy today, but not as closely as they did yesterday. Some of the fun and mystery had worn off since the day before for some of the cats.
Misto went into the kitchen for breakfast. The rest of the kitchen was deserted. He heard the door to Deuteronomy's room creak open, then closed. Then the door to the litter box. Misto's ears perked. He didn't want to be watching Deuteronomy by himself. He quietly ran into his room and woke up Alonzo.
"Misto, what's wrong with you? Do you know how early it is?" Alonzo asked grumpily. Misto nodded his head.
"Deuteronomy's up. I didn't want to watch him alone. Please come." Alonzo groaned before pulling himself out of bed. They both went into the kitchen for breakfast. Soon, more cats were waking up. Deuteronomy still hadn't come out of the litter box. The cats decided they would stay in the same partners as yesterday, just so it wouldn't be too confusing. Deuteronomy walked into the kitchen, startling several kittens talking in a group around a bowl of tuna. They quickly raced out of the room. The rest of the cats quickly followed them, leaving half-eaten bowls of food for Deuteronomy to clean up. Misto and Victoria had the first shift of watching the old cat. They peaked around the corner to see Deuteronomy mumbling and bending over the bowls. Vikki leaned in to try to hear what he was saying. She couldn't get close enough though, and just kept leaning, till she fell right on her face. Deuteronomy turned around quickly. Misto grabbed Victoria's arm and dragged her off. Deuteronomy's eyes followed them around the corner, wondering what in the world that was all about. He shook his head before continuing the clean up.
"Victoria! What did you think you were doing!" Mistoffelees yelled after they were out of earshot of Deuteronomy.
"Sorry. I just wanted to hear what he was saying. I was trying to help you. I didn't mean to be seen," Victoria whispered, her eyes down. Misto sighed. He couldn't stay mad at her.
"It's ok. Sorry for screaming" Misto apologized. "I guess I'm just a bit nervous and worried about what's going on."
"I know. I forgive you. We're all worried. Especially after Pounce's shoe memory. I'm not the only one who remembered shoes you know. I'm just the one who said I did," Victoria explained. Mistoffelees nodded. He had had a feeling that was true. Now he knew for sure. It was nice to know that he wasn't the only crazy one. Vikki followed Misto to the kitchen again, where they were relieved to see Mungo and Teazer had taken over the watch. Those two were so sneaky, they would never get caught spying. Plus they could probably hear everything Deuteronomy was muttering. Vikki gasped as Teazer sneaked closer to Deuteronomy, but Misto reassured her that Teazer never got caught. That night, the cats met again after Deuteronomy was sleeping. Teazer said,
"Well, I can definitely support what Mungo told us about the foot thing. I got behind Deuteronomy and lifted up his fur. He's got two feet and two legs to go with 'em." Mungo nodded his support. Nobody spoke up if they remember anything, but Misto was positive somebody did remember something. He didn't push it though and neither did anybody else, so they all went to bed.
