Preparing for the Jellicle Ball

Location: Paris, France, 4th arrondissement, ÃZle de la Cité

More cats can be seen walking the streets. These cats are healthy, well
fed, and well groomed, and stand out from Paris's many stray cats. The
little shops of Place Dauphine are graced with the presence of shopping
cats, but again this escapes human notice. In each of the shops the
resident cat serves the shopping cats, answering questions about
merchandise and accepting payment when a purchase is made.

A group of six cats accompanied closely by an inquisitive looking
white-and-brown rabbit and a few House representative rats discreetly
teleport in. The smallest, a tuxedo lady, is obviously leading the
group. She's followed most closely by a sunny orange ex-tom tabby who
occasionally pauses to rub against her cheek lovingly. Behind them are
another pair, a brown-and-black petite tabby lady and a
muscular-but-fluffy jet black boy that is constantly being put back in
his place by both of the ladies. Trailing a bit farther behind is the
menagerie, with the non-feline visitors huddling close to their grey
slinky polydactyl escort. Finally is the fluffiest yet skinniest member
of the clowder, soft grey with a suiting lion's mane and bottle-brush
tail, obviously well tended by his slaves.

hai hai awl uff yew, yew r welkome tew sit wif usses at da Ball.

Location: Paris, France, 4th arrondissement, Île de la Cité

On a cool (mid-50's F) midday pedestrians on the streets of Île de la
Cité walk briskly. The sun is shining in a mostly clear sky, but that
doesn't take the chill out of the air. The sidewalk cafes are nearly
deserted, except for a few cats sitting in the chairs. Actually, there
are far more cats in the area than normal, but the humans walking by are
too uncomfortable from the chill to notice. The humans don't even notice
that the cats seated at the tables are licking from cups of espresso and
nibbling on pastries.

resident cat serves the shopping cats, answering questions about

The gardens that surround 2 sides of the Cathedral Notre Dame de Paris
are also empty of humans, aside from a few lonely souls hunched up in
their coats smoking cigarettes and an occasional tourist strolling along
the Seine. Cats meander through the garden, enjoying the fragrance of the
greenery and the many pathways under the bushes. Kittens dash between,
under and over the bushes, wrestling in the grass and darting up and down
the trees.

The Cathedral is strangely quiet. "Warning - Construction" signs keep
human tourists away. A very well-fed tortoise shell girlcat walks the
entire perimeter of the cathedral, paying special attention to the
foundation near the Portal of the Virgin. She scratches at an iron grate
near the sidewalk, and verifies that it wiggles a little. The portly cat
then walks off to find someplace to get a bite to eat.

At last Misty The Black Panther passes by a small Parisian Cafe where
she spots some humans eating doing her best she tries her best
"starving kitty" act on a couple sitting at one of the outdoor tables.

"If Bobcat were to seed me I'd be toast right about now", Misty
thinks.

"Oh Tom look at that small black cat with those copper-gold eyes", the
woman says. "She must be staving.
"You are such a push over for cats Anna".
"Just a tiny treat for her please Tom?"
"O.K. a *tiny* treat. Maybe she'll just go away then".
Half a stake later Misty is is grooming herself clean.

Good for you Misty, nice to see you here
Mosey and Meowy, walking hand in hand

"Ah, I guess I must be heading in the right direction. Can you tell me
exactly if the Ball is in Notre Dame proper or in one of the
underground CAT-e-combs?? What cat should I check in with?!? By the
way where is the FOOD booth?? That stake tidbit was just enough to get
me to the Ball. Once night Falls I'll disappear into the Night.

Misty the Black Panther, Mistress of the Night.

Hihi, Misty. Da Jellicle Ball serrymoneez iz in da mane part uv da
Cathedral, an dere are buffay tabulz set up in da kortyard. Yo duznt haz to
chek in, juss show up -- efurrykittee iz welkum.

"Thank you Rebecca. Purrrhaps you can also tell me where to find the
Guest Sign in Book?!? Yes??"

As Rebecca watches, Misty starts to head towards the buffay tabulz
slowly disappearing into the night. A disembodied voice drifts back to
Rebecca, "I just LOVE Halloween time. It is my most favorite time of
the year". A pair of yellow eyes appear hanging in the air 10 feet up
in the air. A human screams!!! A couple of thumps are heard from
humans falling over in fright clearing the rest of Notre Dame
Cathedral of any lingering humans. Cats of every size, shape and color
start pouring in from every corner of the massive church as if drawn
by a giant magnet. Human voices can now be heard as they move to the
various exists -- The Church is HAUNTED!!! Suddenly the large yellow
eyes blink out!! Then apparently from everywhere in the massive church
comes the Invitation to the Jellicle Ball:

Jellicle Cats come out tonight
Jellicle Cats come one come all
The Jellicle Moon is shining bright
Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball

Mosey and his wife kitty Meowy *say hello to you all and we invite you to
have something to eat with us.

Misty the Black Panther is still a bit lost when she chances upon a
strange sight of six cats and some misfits -- misfits in the sense
that they would be the last creatures a cat would expect to see at a
Ball where hundreds if not thousands of cats will be congregating.

"Are you Mosey?!? I've just arrived and I'm just a bit disoriented.
