Because Jellicles are
And Jellicles do
Jellicles do
And Jellicles would
Jellicles would
And Jellicles can
Jellicles can and Jellicles do
The words were still ringing in my head as I awoke from the dream. Oh man, you should've seen it! It was so so so so so so FREAKING AWESOME! We are the Jellicle Ball, and I was the star of the show! I was in the front and all the queens were begging for me to be their mates! And the other toms were just giving me death glares, and for a moment I was worried they would try to kill me in my sleep, but still, it was so cool!
Of course, I woke up.
Which sucked. Big time. Sucked like Demeter on Munkustrap.
Oh, Everlasting Cat, why did I have to think of THAT?!
Oh well. Anyway, I woke up from the dream of me being the king of the jellicle ball, and the reason I was having that dream was because tonight was...
Drum roll please! Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun
THE JELLICLE BALL!
Not only the Jellicle ball, but also MY first jellicle ball ever! It's gonna be the best! My mom Jennyanydots had been drilling me and the other kittens on the chorography for the ball. I am really hyped for the ball, because it's not just my first. My best friend Tumblebrutus is going to be there, and so is his crush, Jemima- she's Demeter and Munkustrap's daughter (Oh, crap, there's that stupid IMAGE again! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!!!!). She's also my other best friend, but I don't like her at all (I mean in the way Tumble likes her). Tumble better get Jemima for the mating dance tonight, or I am never going to let him hear the end of it!
Of course, if I don't get Bombalurina to dance with me at the mating dance like I've been bragging I would all week, he will never let me hear the end of THAT.
Oh, man, I can't just sit here anymore! So, I hopped off my bed - well, actually it was my human Jessie's bed, she's like 15, kind of how old Electra and Etcetera are, the other kittens.
Jessie is really nice to me by the way! When I was really little, like when I was like a few months old, me and my dad Skimbleshanks and my older sister and brother Rumpleteazer and Admetus were all going about the city together (I remember me and Rumple snitching a hot dog from a fat human with a beard! Good times, good times...). Suddenly, Dad told us all to run, and Teazer and Metus all ran, but I was confused so I didn't run as fast.
What happened next I'll never forget (at least I hope I don't cuase it was cool!).
Well, I looked up and there was this guy in this big blue suit holding a net. I got scared when he smiled at me, and I started running too. But I was too late, cause it scooped me up. I remember Dad, Teaze, and Metus all screaming my name. I tried to break free from the net, and I managed to, and I started running again, but then the man chased me and a bunch of others, like, A HUNDRED OF THEM, showed up, and I went all ninja on their asses and kicked them all to Heaviside!
Okay....real story....and please Everlasting Cat don't let Mom found out I cussed....
Dad, Teaze, and Metus were all calling my name, and I tried to break out of the net but couldn't. Next thing, I was in a cage in a cramped little box, and I looked out through the bars and a window and saw my dad and siblings running after the car.
Since Tumble or Plato ain't here, I guess I can say....well, I cried the whole ride. I was scared, sue me! I thought I was never going to see my family again, and Rum Tum Tugger (bastard) had told me a story that the men in blue suits are Cat Catchers, people who capture cats and then torture and kill them. I was really young, impressionable, and scared out of my mind.
So, you can imagine how glad I was when I found out that I was merely going to be treated to some deisese shots (HURT LIKE HELL DAMN THEM) and then set out for a human to adopt me and take me to a home. My mom and dad were both owned by the same owner, and I think Tugger, Munk, and Demeter are all owned. They all wear collars anyway. Right?
So, now I live with Jessie!
Oh, and by the way....
JELLICLE BALL IS TONIGHT!
I know it was, like, 3 o'clock in the morning, several hours before the actual ball, but I still was so excited, I jumped up and down several times and ended up falling right off the bed.
"YEEOOOOOOOOOOWWWIE!" I cried.
"Scooterhead, stop it!" I heard Jessie drowse sleepily.
Oops. Oh well, it's still gonna be awesome!
