As the last name is read, a trace of incense wafts through the
ballroom and, on an unspoken cue, all the cats move to the end
farthest from the stage.

Over and surrounding the stage, obscuring the bandstand (the musicians
having joined the other cats at the far end), a shimmering fog
appears. It grows to cover the entire end wall and then seems to
fade. Where the end of the ballroom was, the assembled cats see a
great and ancient hall, which overcomes the ballroom and becomes
here-and-now.

The ceiling is sheets of gold supported by great cedar beams, all held
aloft by brightly painted limestone pillars carved as bundles of
papyrus stems. The walls are massive sandstone, carved with accounts
of bravery, dedication and adventure. The floor is limestone inlaid
with gem mosaics, polished smooth by centuries of padded feet. The
silence is something a cat can almost touch.

At the far end, where a moment ago was the stage, there is now a
statue of Our Lady, flanked to its right by a smoldering bronze
incense brazier and to its left by a bronze stand bearing a gilded
papyrus scroll. Behind the statue the wall appears at first glance to
be a mirror, reflecting the assembled cats. Then the mist shifts and
we see shades, reflections, of seven millennia (or more) of forbears
known and unknown.

Everyone moves forward, to where the floor makes a small step upward
and the paving changes to polished alabaster.

A male tan-tabby appears from the left and a female brown-feral
appears from the right. They are simultaneously ancient and ageless,
wearing linen head-dresses and bejeweled collars, moving with the
dignity of centuries. They stop before the brazier and the
scroll-stand and then turn to face the assembly.

A male tuxedo, sleek, strong and youthful but somehow shadow-like,
appears at the left and a male full-black-tabby appears at the right.
Both wear smaller headdresses. The tuxedo wears a golden collar and
bears a small bronze cup rimmed with catseye-cut golden, green and
gray star-sapphires..

The later two move to center, bow to the statue, and face each other.
The tuxedo takes a sip from the cup and sets it on a small alabaster
stand. He removes his collar and fastens it about the neck of the
black. As the tuxedo fades like a morning mist, the black takes up
the cup, sips from it, and retires whence he appeared.

The two ancient ones now move to the center, stop before the statue,
turn to it, bow, and proffer a scroll of this year's names--known and
unknown. As they hold up the scroll, it fades from view and the
scroll on the bronze stand flutters as if it had suddenly lengthened.

A great purr of acceptance and comfort, below-beyond even the keenest
of cats' hearing, is felt throughout the room,

The ancient pair withdraw to the sides whence they appeared and vanish
as mist. The floor, ceiling. statue, walls and everything of the
temple are once again enveloped in shining fog. The fog clears away
and the ballroom is as it has been throughout the evening.
