It's like Joe Grey and Dulcie and that woman Kate, who can change
between cat and woman.
Mom i reading uh novel called Cat On The Run Anything is possible,
Ranger, my good friend. PLEASE, let's hold our paws while we figure
this out. Okay? Remember, I am Pres. of the Tough Girl Kitty Club.
Feer nawt Rudy, weh wyl fynd sumune hu wyl hulp yew.

Dat is true. OT, mayhaps wez could ask dat MacGyver kitty is him knows of
any hoomins named Mackey.

[Samuel Redcat, who had followed the group quietly, slinks forward. He
has been quietly pop-catting - whenever Rudy would move even the
slightest Sammy would instantly pop backwards 6 inches or so, then creep
forward again to where he had been.]

Sammy: I can go find himself an ask!

[With that, Sammy turns and slinks very quickly back out of the room. The
assembled cats hear the sound of normally graceful Sam thundering up the
stairs.

A few minutes later they hear the distinctive step-thump of MacGyver
hobbling down the stairs. He shoves the door open wide and strides in.]

MacGyver: What's this I hear aboot a ghost? You, in blue - ye're a
ghostie, are ye? Well what are you doing in my castle?

Ranger [speaking very quickly, trying to disguise how much he's
trembling]: Him sez dat him did wrong to anuffer cat, and him has to find
hoomins related to da ones him lifed wif to confess, an dere name is
Mackey, and dey was aroun here somewheres.

MacGyver: The only Mackey's here aboot used to live in an old castle a
couple of miles from here. It's so old and tumble-down that no hoomins
live in it any more, and there's not even a road going to it. The Mackeys'
that I know live in a small house near the castle ruins. Would you want
me to send someone to fetch the elder of the clan?

Rudy: Yessss, pleeeze!
