Thank you, Capt Midnight! I think that would be an excellent idea. In
fact, there they are at that dark table in the corner of the bar car.
Hmmm... I have an idea.

[Cleo sees that all 6 of the strange cats have empty bottles of nip-beer
in front of them. She leans over the bar and whispers to the bartender,
who gives her a tray with 6 fresh nip-beers. She carries them over to
the table with the strange cats.]

Meow, kitties. I'm Cleopatra, and I'm with the group that has the last 3
passenger cars. You're about the only kitties in this car that I don't
know so I thought I would introduce myself. And since it looks like
you're all out of nip-beer, I brought you all fresh drinks.

[The closest cat, the largest and apparent leader of the group, replies]
"Well thank you awfully greatly, fine kitty. We appreciates the
generousness of your gesture. Mine name is Hank, and deze are mine
coworkers."

Welcome, Hank and coworkers. We're riding all the way to Istanbul on
holiday. Are you kitties also on holiday?

"No, maam, wez workin. Wez quality inspectitators for a company dat
sells high-quality cat litter. We'z got a really bigbig shipment of our
absolute finest high-quality stuff, some stuff called bemtomnite, dat
we'z shipping to a brand new customer, and dey sent usn's along to
reinspect da stuff when itz delivered. Gots to keep da custmers happy,
you knowz."

Oh, I've heard of that stuff. That's the kind of clay that the best cat
litter is made of, isn't it? Boy, being premium stuff I'll bet that you
guys just dig up the bentonite, break into little pieces, and then bag
it up without any perfumes or fillers, huh? I'll bet that freshly ground
stuff feels really wonderful on the paws...

[The two well-dressed kitties, sitting next to the window, both start to
speak but get hushed by the other kitties. The leader gives them both a
very threatening glare.]

"Yes, maam, it surely do. Dat's da real good stuff."

Well, welcome again, and enjoy the trip. Here, let me take your empty
bottles away. [She puts the empty bottles on the tray, picking each one
up with her claw-tips only. She then returns the tray to the bar. Before
the bartender returns, though, she turns her back to the strange kitties
, picks up each bottle in turn, and places the bottles in individual
paper bags. She then whispers to the bartender again, who places the
bagged bottles in a cardboard carton and takes it behind the bar.]

Capt. Midnight, the bartender will have that box of bottles delivered to
your stateroom. That will allow you to get pawprints off the bottles,
and maybe see if Interpol-Cat has any records on those kitties. I think
you'll also find that the two well-dressed kitties are truly what they
claim to be, but the others are imposters.
