Reassurance from the Mayor

          As the kitties pawed off the boat, Smokey, naturally asked the obvious question, “Do you kitties know where all of these farms are?”

          The Mayor gave Smokey a strange look.  “You’re meowing that to be funny, right?” 

          Smokey felt the hackles go up.  “What in the meow is that supposed to mean?”

          “It’s a reasonable question,”  Barney meowed.  Barney had been wanting to know this for the last couple hours anyway but was just too sleepy to ask.  In other words, he spent the whole boat trip sleeping. 

          “If you weren’t sleepin’ the whole time you’d already know,” Casey interjected. 

          Smokey was getting impatient.  “Would you kitties BE QUIET AND JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION!”

          Surprisingly, the Mayor listened.  “Don’ts you worries about it Smokes.  We know what we’re doing.”  He looked at his fellow Trouties, Casey, Ace and just laugh/purred.
