What's It Mean?

          The kitties were stunned, in awe and downright meow-bergasted.  How do you like that new word, pals?  Meow-bergasted, a takeoff of the name word flabbergasted but I digress.  The kitties were in awe over the quick thinking of the turtle dude who was looking a little too pleased with himself.

          “What’s with you cats?”  he asked.  “Are you that surprised?”

          “Wha-what did you pick that up for?”  asked Tippy.  “That thing scares me.”

          Sammie just gulped and Paws eyed the statue like it would explode in a couple of minutes.  “Wha-what are you gonna do with it?”  asked Paws.

          The turtle dude looked at them, shocked.  “What do you mean?”  he asked.  “You guys are the cats and you can tell this is valuable.  I’m just a turtle- you tell me what this cat is.”

          Sammie reached down and pawed it.  The statue started glowing and Sammie got a strange look on his face.  “Meee-wow!”  he yowled.  “Meeee-wow!!!”
