[The sun has set on the island. The full moon is almost at the
zenith. Kitties are dancing in the ballroom, listening to tributes in
the main chamber, or eating, dancing, or socializing outside. Rebecca
asks for their attention.]

Gud eevnin agin, kitteez. I hopez yoo haz awl had sumfing to eet an
injoyed dis locashun, as well as heard the tribyootz. Dere iz still a
liddle time to add namez to da list fur da final callin an tribyootz
kan still be given. Dis haz bin a bittersweet time, wif three kitteez
makin dereown jerneez to Brij durin da Jellicle Ball itzself.

If yoo wud awl gather owtside, it iz time fur da tradishunal singin
uv Cat Anjil.

[The kitties all make their way outside. The hula dancing kitties are
on the outside dance floor wearing their traditional outfits, ready
for their special performance. The musicians start playing, the
dancers start their graceful performance, and all present sing...]

Dat faytul day, da call was herd
Dat tu da Bridj yewd go
I drew yew bak ana we wer sayf
Bud den I let yew go -oh-oh.

Cat Anjil, kin yew heer mee?
Cat Anjil, kin yew see mee?

Anna am I stil yewr own tru luff?

I noe yew tried tu stay fur me
Ana gif me wun moor purr
A smurgle warm ana heddbutt tuu
Ana grummin uv da fur

Cat Anjil, kin yew heer mee?
Cat Anjil, kin yew see mee?

Cat Anjil, kin yew heer mee?
Cat Anjil, kin yew see mee?
Ar yew sumware up abuv,

Cat Anjil, ansur mee pleeze....

[The hula dancing kitties pause at this point, looking up to the sky
with uplifted paws. All kitties look up into the clear, cloudless
sky. The full moon seems to cast it's light across a haze, then the
haze seems to solidify a bit -- it is the Rainbow Bridge! Faint
voices come from the sky...]

Deerhartz, we kin heer yew
Deerhartz, we kin see yewww
We ar weighting up abuv
Ana we ar still yewr own tru luvz.

[Kitties see old friends looking down at them from the Bridge. They
call their names and wave, feeling both happy and sad.]

Iowna stands next to Daisy-chan with a grin as she describes a pretty
big clowder of cats and dogs standing together. She chokes a little as
Vamp Kittah gives her a toothy grin and mimes being petted ('let her
pet you. It feels good').

With a deep understanding, she describes the gap in the line that is
just the right size for Unca Sammy to have fit. His heart was happy
for a final home when his 2foots passed, but when time came, he joined
them after his meowmie also left. He went with them but in respect for
those last few months at Chez Shenks, a gap is there.

Iowna stands and wags her tail at where she thinks Aunti Mabel is.
Aunti Mabel calls down 'Hi! I can wait to meet you when the time is
right but you have done well little girl! I am proud of you and mai
only warning is you will get your sight back here anna that can be a
bit confusing. Maiself gotted mai hearing back anna it had been so
long, it tooked a bit to get used to it.'
