Epilogue
Well, that's my story. When firemen came to put out the fire, they found Tugger and I passed out in the snow. We were rushed to the vet and got bandaged and medicated. You should have heard the fuss Tugger put up, even though he was badly injured. I overheard the vet say he believed my wounds had been caused by some kind of wild animal. I had to agree with that.
Gustav came later that morning and was sobbing over me like a baby. I purred as loudly as I could, while he stroked my tail, which was basically the only part of my body not wounded. I was fit enough to go home about a week later. Tugger was released a few days before me, picked up by a plump, middle-aged woman who cuddled him in her thick arms. I swear I heard him purring.
After the chaos of those weeks, this neighborhood has managed to settle down quite nicely. Gustav has been spoiling me rotten and I have had to pace myself to avoid becoming poochy. Tugger hasn't changed a bit and still visits me to steal my leftovers.
But best of all, Cassandra, my beautiful queen, visits often too. She truly is the most bewitching cat. I am hoping that, the next time she's in heat, I'll be successful in fathering some kittens.
There's nothing else to say now except this. Farwell from Mistofelees, Tugger and all the other smartasses in the neighborhood. Keep solving the riddles in the world, even if the solutions are out of your reach. And don't give up the notion that one-day humans and animals can live together in harmony.
Maybe we all need to evolve, to grow up a little. Maybe we all need to evolve into . . . Felidae.
