Sammy the Chipper Cat BOT 07-Nov-21 12:04 PM

Sidney, Sidney, Sidney Sidney Sidney Sidney... oh, hello there! Haven't seen you around. How's it going? What? Never seen a speaking cat before? Well, buhu, not everything is about you. Just sit tight, listen and maybe at the end you'll know why I can speak. You know Sidney right? Yes, that Sidney. Most popular girl in town Sidney. Parkour Sidney. No relationship Sidney. Sid-... wait you don't know her? You must be knew in town then. Right then, let me begin from the start: Sidney has been living in Aplle Valley since for ever (yes that place actually exists). Born and raised in Minnesota, America. And you see, Sidney always had a talent in being liked. High school, middle school, elementary, hell even kindergarten. She was always the most liked, and she liked everyone else back. Now, by no means is she miss perfect, even though her image tells a different story. What is most peculiar about her? Well, she has never dated anyone. She has had plenty of offers, from men and women alike, but she always politely declined, never actually giving a reason for it. Some people struggled to understand, as she was everything you could wish for in a s/o. At least, according to her reputation. Sportive, smart, good looking, polite, funny... the list goes on. Despite that, all sort of people tried their luck, all failed miserably. There was just no one able to shake her resolve.

That was, until her 20th birthday. During her party, she announced something unusual to the crowd. I'll just quote her on this. "Everyone always asks me why I don't date anyone. Instead of answering that question, I'll give you a solution, how about that? Whoever manages to get the key from my cat's collar, will go on a date with me. If you want to, of course." And thus, she continued on with the party as if nothing happened. The crowd, to say the least, went wild. Well, that is obviously fine and dandy, but... why the hell do I have to be brought into this? Stupid collar, stupid key, stupid people trying to touch me and catch me and all. But I'm always one step ahead. Nobody has actually tried to befriend me yet. Some brought snacks, trying to won me over, but I saw right through their schemes. It have been trying 3 weeks, let me tell you. Point being, the key is still jiggling on my collar. Maybe you'll be the one to get the key, huh? I promise, is one of the kindest people you'll ever encounter. Why don't you give it a shot?

- Alright, enough talk. No more breaking of any walls. Come in. Try your luck at catching me.

Jonathan Conners BOT 07-Nov-21 05:47 PM

When Jonathan or well John as he liked to be called had left his small town to try his chances at the big city, he had been expecting to see a lot, larger trucks, food that wasn’t the kind you’d find straight from the ground or made from an animal. He even imagined getting to try crab. Coming across a talking cat was something that he had never expected to happen. The reveal about getting to go on a date got the key off of the cat was another surprise not quite as big as the talking cat surprise but still a big surprise in of itself. The Sydney girl was around his age that was clear by what the cat had said, John had turned 20 a couple months ago. If his description of her really was accurate then she sounded perfect, although the cat could just idolise her or it could be lying to him. If a talking cat exists then it’s not too unreasonable that a lying cat would exist. Still, it’s not like he had much else that he needed to do. He had already left his bags in his hotel room putting off unpacking until later. The job search had even been pretty fruitless. Maybe taking a break to chase a talking cat would be a good thing. Whether or not the city water had drugs in them was still to be determined. “You clearly don’t like being used for this game thing.” Jonathan pointed out as he followed the cat looking around for a way that he could get the key. still not believing this was true, maybe there were cameras hidden somewhere but here he was talking to a cat anyway. “Why not give the key away and be done with this all?” He asked more curious than he was expecting the cat to actually give it up. “You know we have some barn cats over at the farm, I’m sure that if we tried something like this with one of them people would probably lose fingers.” He said with a chuckled laughing to himself before he rolled his shoulders letting muscles that he had grown on a farm stetch before he started to lightly jog after the cat knowing that even if he wanted to just ov

er power the animal and take the key the cat would just jump away from him and run off. Following a cat that could talk around to get a key to win a date with the “perfect woman” not how he expected his time in the big city to go but at least it was interesting.

The cat tilted it's head to the side, backing away from Jonathan. The key jiggled as it did. "You really thing it would be that easy? Of course, I'm getting something out of it as well. A whole bunch of snacks from her. Just for keeping the key safe." Sammy wiggled his butt in preparation, before jumping on top of the stone fence, then on the garage roof, out of reach for the visitor. "Tell you what, barn boy." Yes, that was the nickname given to him by sammy. "Bring me some cuts of sirloin. The good stuff, that is. I'll give you the key if you can up the reward I get." Sammy tried to blink, but as he was incapable to do so, instead just flopped both eyes closed. And open again. "Besides, don't underestimate the claws of a city feline." The cat said, flashing the sharp knives on her front paws. "If you try to pull a sneaky I'll redacted by parental control settings. Don't try to play smart with me barn boy." If the cat could visibly smile, Sammy would have flashed a grin for Jonathan then. Instead, he had to read Sammy's waggling tail.

He nodded to the cat as he heard his question a small smile on his face as he found the cats attitude to be pretty amusing. "So get you some meat that sounds easy enough." He told the cat with a hand rubbing the back of his head as his fingers ran through his overgrown hair. He had kind of wished that he was still around the farm right about now he could have gotten the cat all the meat he could want. He was definitely a smart cat jumping out of reach just in case he were to try and grab him. Not that he would have tried to he knew what happens if you try and grab a cat. "Do you want to come with me to the store furball? I'll let you pick out whatever sirloin you want." He offered the cat deciding to give him a nickname of his own as he held his arm out for the cat to jump on if he wanted to. "I promise to not try and trick you, scouts honour." he promised because of course the farm boy had been in the scouts growing up.

Someone clearly didn't know how expensive sirloin could be. Not a problem for Max. Sammy looked down on him, his head hovering over the edge of the roof. "What's the matter? Too scared to go to the market yourself, Barn Boy? I think I'll stay some more here in the warm sun instead." The cat said, as it stretched his paws forward, dropping itself on the side. "Yaaaaaawn, that's it. Pretty relaxing up here. You should come up here, neighbours definitely won't call the police scouts honor." Sammy stuck out his tongue towards Jonathan, indicating that he wasn't quite buying his story. In all honesty, Sammy wasn't impressed By Jonathan yet. Seemed like your run of the mill farm goer who enters the big city with hopes and dreams, only to be crushed by its weight. Shame.

Hearing the cats taunt Jonathan couldn't help but roll his eyes slightly before his hand went to his brow to rub his forehead. He was rolling his eyes at a cat, maybe he really was going crazy. "To be honest I'm just not all that sure where the supermarket is." He admitted to the cat a little flustered to admit the fact. He had been in the city for less then a week after all. Pulling out his phone his fingers fumbled with the screen as he went onto google maps "don't worry I'll find one." For a second he seemed to consider the offer of joining the cat on top of the rooftop, maybe he would be able to see a market that way, but that idea was quick to go away when he remembered how high up it was making him shudder as he shook his head. "I'll meet you back here once I get the sirloin thing." He told the cat before turning around as he started to walk away in search of the nearest market.

"And you think I have a GPS inside of me? Get lost barn boy." Sammy showed his tongue to the stranger, now comfortably laying down on his belly. I'm the end, he'd bring him his meat, so by default Sammy had a little more sympathy for Jonathan. "Sirloin thing?" Sammy repeated offended. "You're telling me you worked at the farm but have no clue what a sirloin cut is? A god damn cat knows more about the anatomy of cows than you. Shame."

Jonathan Conners BOT 14-Nov-21 10:00 AM

Noticing the cats apparent offence Jonathan was quick to shrug sheepishly, his hands rubbing the back of his head as he stopped in his walk to reply to the talking cat. "I worked more with the sheep then the cows." He excused. "Your a city cat and you don't even know where the markets are? I think there's a shame for us both here." He then added with a smile feeling strangely comfortable with trading barbs before he broke off in a slow jog looking for the markets that Sammy had spoken of earlier.

Sammy the Chipper Cat BOT 16-Nov-21 09:37 AM

"Sounds like lame excuses to me." The cat now rolled on its back, her paws stretching upwards to catch the sun. "I'm a house cat boy, I don't leave my perimeter. You expect me to google it or what? Point for me." It was obvious Sammy was the referee in this. Seeing the man jog up and away, Sammy went to pass his time by cleaning himself, relaxing in the warmth of the sunlight.

Jonathan Conners BOT 17-Nov-21 02:12 AM

Jonathan couldn’t help but chuckle to himself as he heard the cat's words, they were a strange creature but definitely an interesting one and for all he knew all cats could have spoken like that. Wouldn’t be any weirder than their being actual talking cats. The walk to the store and back was much quicker than he was expecting. Once he had worked out where he was going and gotten over quite how many people there were he had realised that the place was a lot denser than he was expecting. Back at his home town there was only one of two grocery stores and that was like a half hour walk. Here he had a dozen of them all being in the same area. It was honestly a bit overwhelming. When he saw the price, he sighed before he decided to ignore it buying whatever looked good to him before he went back to the house where he had met the cat. “Hey I got your Sirloin, want me to cook it for you?” He asked calling for the cat's attention as he lifted up the pack of Sirloin meat.
