Hi, this is Mrs. Morton* from down the street. Have you seen Ruggles, our fat orange cat? Ruggles hasn't been home in days. She usually doesn't hunt far from home, because she can't chase down prey like she used to. This is a catastrophe! We think she may have run away because she through a hissy-fit about performing her new act: RUGGLES -- The Amazing Cannonball of Fur. We need to keep practicing before opening night at the Teslows'. Please keep and eye out for her and call us, won't you, if you find her? Thanks. Oh, and if your daughter is wondering, yes, there is a reward -- two free tickets to her premiere launching from her cannon AND I mean "Hers" as in my cat's. Please make sure Pim understands this time that BYOB does not stand for "Bring Your Own Bazooka." (Sigh) Thanks again!

*From Curtis's ceramic lawn sculpture hoarding stage in "Double Trouble." Mandy Teslow is making the rounds informing her neighbors that her front lawn has been burgled. When she gets to the Diffys' and is in the midst of telling Lloyd, Curtis walks in from the kitchen, snack in hand. Lloyd transforms from easy going self-hair stylist to nervous bouncer as he ushers Mandy to the door, assuring her that there's nothing suspicious going on around here, but she should try the Mortons down the street. Now, also here in Chapters 7 and 10.
