I fear my intelligence has seeped into the cat and now that the transformation is so apparent they would have her transported to the madhouse while they wreathe me with doughnuts of sanity to feed me with reason and sing to my redemption. 

So let her besiege the checkered rat, her tail the singing serpent. So let her be the dichotomy of evolution - half terrestrial, half amphibian. While I weep over my sleepless destiny and she winks at the insane world.
