Was this a different cat? This one didn’t seem like an asshole. A whisper from a voice too deep for its size filled my ear. “Do not reply and give me away. These fools believe I am a cat and we need it to stay that way. Collect your baggage and follow me out of the village. We need to talk in private before you open your foolish mouth and ruin anything further than you already have, you absolute imbecile.” Okay, same cat.
