Part 7
July 5, 1997
Dear Diary,
Katt Sass and I had a lovely dinner at Chez Fungus. Thank heavens I had the foresight to wear my "Aunt Tillie" outfit! That sly cat Otto was at the entrance poorly disguised as a doorman. Luckily a scuffle broke out between two passers-by of the canine persuation who took exception to each other (animals!), and we were able to sneak in unoticed.My own mother wouldn't recognize me in this get-up. However Mr.Sass did not seem to mind my attire and we had a long conversation over a scrumptous meal, followed by an even more intimate, er, interesting conversation at my place over Catnip Mimosas. It was an extremely productive evening.
We are both highly suspicious of Otto, but wonder if we can pin the actual theft on him. There is a very tall box at Feline Frenzy that Otto left, but neither one of us has been able to ascertain its contents. But outside of that brief glimpse at Chez Fungus, little has been seen of this cat of mystery.
Rumors of a cat driving a purple car and causing a rukus at Leo's KOV Campground have been circulating. And Katt himself has hinted at a discovery in Abso's cave. (I hope that Abso didn't find the Oscat. Those samoleons would be totally wasted on that unfortunate creature. Why, he'd probably squander it all on Nintendo or something.) Hence, I have taken matters into my own hands and have applied for a permit for one of the choicest lots, right between the wishing well and the flower patch where I can keep an eye on things.
Me! In a tent. (A catnip mimosa may make this whole thing a lot more tolerable.) At least I finally have a chance to wear this jaunty jungle ensemble. (I already explained that it was polyester, darling, didn't you read the last installment?) Look out, Mother Nature, here I come! (Better make that two Catnip Mimosas.) Ahh! The great outdoors...the fresh air, the open sky, the bugs, the snakes..... (On the other hand I'd better take a very large cooler of these things!)
