Title: Even Familiars Have Meetings part 2

Fluffy, Peaches (don’t ask , but it might explain the nurse in the neonatal unit being taken away in restraints yesterday) and Tabby held their usual late Sunday meeting when the normal human traffic was light.

“Peach… um Cal,” started Fluffy, “You are going to lose us this gig as therapy cats.”

Washing a paw, Cal answered with a mouth full of one claw, “She deserved it. And now she’s gone. Good riddance.”

“Still, convincing that spider to build a web for 10 days straight at her face level and across the doorway into the nursery when only she was on duty…” Fluffy started.

“What did you have to promise the spider,” Tabby shuddered.

“Remember that tray under the bed on three west.” He spat out the nail trimming, “Seems it draws flies. I just happened to tell the spider about it. By the way you might want to skip going under that bed for a while.” He shrugged, “As for the nurse … you weren’t the one who she named after a fuzzy fruit as well as her telling everyone we’re demon spawn.”

“So how are you going to get them to start calling you Cal?” Fluffy changed the subject. “It’s not as if you can tell them and not give away that we can talk.”

“Ahem,” a voice interrupted their conclave. “You’ll be happy to know that the spider has been relocated outside near the outdoor shrubbery lighting. That tray on three west is again open for business, custodial services would appreciate your moving it into sight after you’ve eaten as much as you want and before it starts spoiling.” The administrator bent over to look the now large eyed cats in the face. “And if you ever try that stunt again with the nurses or any other hospital personnel, I’ll replace you with felines of the not familiar persuasion. Perhaps rodent patrol in the basement will fit you better. You got problems with staff you let me know and I will handle it. Do you understand?” he paused. “Now back to work, there’s a grandma with visitors, one of which is a little girl in need of entertaining while the adults talk. Get to it, Cal.”

The three familiar cats watched the administrator walk away and Cal quickly padded off in the direction of the visitors with the granddaughter.

Tabby with his eyes still fixed on the administrator asked, “When did they hire the sexy wizard for the new hospital head?” The administrator turned and winked but kept on walking.

“Don’t know but I’m sure you’ll find out,” Fluffy sniffed and sauntered off towards the pediatrics ward.

LOL Awesome. Great dabble. The Demon spawn is a old myth about cats. But this old lady at the hospital my mom works for use to scream bloody murder every time the therapy cat came in her room. So of course the cat figure this out and would sit on the nurses station across from her room and staring at her. Love the evil cat.

Of course it did, she was doing something interesting and it had the power to make the silly human react.

*grins* Am glad you liked it.

And then there's the therapy cat that acts like a harbinger of death at a nursing home. The staff has noticed if the cat is on the bed with the person, to notify the next of kin that death is imminent.

Demon spawn what demon spawn?

Probably little D. I didn't double check my post for grammar. But we are talking about cats so maybe all the letters should have been capitalized, underlined and perhaps Bold. lol.

That Cat was following the heating blankets they put on people who are really sick. But Cats are mystic. I mean they convinced Egyptians to worship them as gods For thousands of years.

Plotting interrupted. Cute :)

Though cats eating mouldy food?
They leave that for the dogs!

Oh the food under the bed isn't moldy ... yet.

And I'm not sure which furry person ate it but neighborhood furry at my house killed a bird, ate some and left the rest. Someone then came back and ate the rest a day later.

But a tray of food thats attracting flies ain't nice, familiars would surely have more exalting standards?
Maybe once they've caught their wizard. ...

Oh lovely! Lol
