(Deuteronomy's POV)
I watched them eat, they devoured what we had brought them hungrily. Except the silver tom, he picked at his at first, only eating it properly when the one with the mane glared at him. Curious indeed. When they had finished I spoke,
"Well you all know my name, what are yours?"
"I'm Griddlebone," the white queen said, "And that's Alonzo, Rum Tum Tugger and Munkustrap."
I smiled softly, I had mentioned to Griz once that two names I would have liked for kittens of mine, Griddlebone and Munkustrap. I liked her other choices of name too though.
"And which one of you is the eldest?"
"That would be me sir," Munkustrap replied, "Then Tugger, then Lonz, and Griddle is the baby of the family."
I raised my eyebrows slightly at him calling me 'sir'. I understood, having a father would take some getting used to but still, I wanted kittens so much and this was just a cruel reminder that I had missed out on so much of their lives already.
"I'll gather the jellicles so you can meet them all," I said going out to the tire.

"Jellicles I would like to make an announcement," Deuteronomy's voice sounded clearly around the junkyard, "As you all know Grizabella left the junkyard a while ago, but what we didn't know was that when she left she was with kittens. I'd like to present our kittens, Munkustrap, Rum Tum Tugger, Alonzo and Griddlebone."
I smiled nervously when a sea of jellicles eyes all turned to us. Apparently I seemed to be the only nervous one, the others were lapping up the attention in particular Tugger and Griddle. Deuteronomy continued,
"They got in some trouble with a pollicle and could do with some rest. But..."
Was it my imagination or was Deuteronomy looking just at me when he said that? Maybe he was right I could do with some sleep maybe, I felt exhausted. Something told me I was going to avoid pollicles for a while.
Oops I had somehow missed the rest of what Deuteronomy was saying. Ah well, everyone was mingling now, maybe I could go and get that rest. I turned to Tugger to tell him where I was off to but all his attention seemed to be on a red queen about our age. I couldn't help but roll my eyes as I headed towards the den where we were before, trying to stay steady on my feet.
