Pity. Could've been a dog that we could manipulate. Think of the possibilities--we could've challenged other cats, and if they took us up on it, we could hide behind the dog and have it do our dirty work a friend.

Ok, that's 3 thinking that whatever is behind that door is trouble, 2 wanting to goad it, and wishing there was a friend coming in first with 5. Let's move on, shall we?

quote:

You push your nose under the door for as close a whiff as possible, but the slavering sounds have retreated, and you're left all on your own. What do you want to check out next?

Yes, that's all there is. So now, we head to the mystery room!

quote:

You pad over carpet toward the open door. Once inside, your keen, catty eyes glean every bit of detail from what's actually a bathroom. The tiles look freshly laid, with dark blue twists and borders that link to form a pattern. The blue is the same as all the towels, which hang on heated towel racks. There's a sink, a larger lie-in sink, and a toilet which gurgles contently in that way toilets do when no one is on them. Its lid is cloaked in blue fleece too.

The lie-in sink is full of the usual clutter: a sponge on a string, a pointless ball of netting, dented shampoo flasks, and a hairbrush. Above the normal-sized sink, colored glass bottles wink at you and shimmer. The sound of water makes you slightly thirsty.

-Play "shred the evil sponge." I love that game.
-Fearlessly jump up on that narrow shelf to enjoy sniffing those bottles.
-Lean into the toilet to check its viability as a water supply.
-Sit in the bath and lick the tap. Tap water is the best, quality- and tastewise.

Huzzah! We have found a bathroom! Now, what shall we do in this bathroom? Do we:

1. Play "shred the evil sponge." I love that game.
2. Fearlessly jump up on that narrow shelf to enjoy sniffing those bottles.
3. Lean into the toilet to check its viability as a water supply.
4. Sit in the bath and lick the tap. Tap water is the best, quality- and tastewise.

Ok, so we all wanted to avoid the toilet, two of us wanted to sniff bottles and two of us wanted to shred a sponge. But a majority of five pulled through for tap water so let's drink from a tap!

quote:

There really is something about water that moves versus water that's trapped in a bowl. You lap at the shining drops and let them slide across your tongue. When you turn to hop down, you have a view down the throat of the toilet. The water inside it is blue, which you know means it's not for drinking.

In the end, this is a standard-issue bathroom, you decide. A few taps offering water, and a totally unusable toilet. You land silently and gracefully on the tile and head out again to the hallway.

What do you want to check out next?

Ok, so now for the closet.

quote:

You push your way in between door and doorjamb to the pressed-in space of the coat closet. The air inside is still and dense with quiet. Thick-weave garments hang above you, and a faux-fur coat is half off its hanger. Underfoot is the clutter of shoes and several boxes. You pick your way across them, noting their various materials. Plastic finish equals good for getting teeth through. Shoelaces mean hours of snaky fun. Shoe boxes are, well, boxes. Invariably good things to sit in.

-I feistily pull down the fake-fur coat to sleep on.
-I play flick-and-pounce with a shoestring, thus annihilating it.
-I squash myself into a shoe box. I take priority over shoes.
-This might be a useful hiding place later, but for now I head out.

...You know, it's reasons like this that I don't let my cat into my closet. Anyways, what shall we do? Do we:

1. I feistily pull down the fake-fur coat to sleep on.
2. I play flick-and-pounce with a shoestring, thus annihilating it.
3. I squash myself into a shoe box. I take priority over shoes.
4. This might be a useful hiding place later, but for now I head out.

...Again, sometimes I wonder why I even hold votes. Only one vote for attacking a coat, none for leaving or playing with a shoestring, and ten votes for sitting in a box. In we go!

quote:

It's a shame that these boxes aren't empty, but you don't mind the work to make them so. Scrabbling at balled-up cardboard and an old pair of sports shoes, you manage to fling them behind you. One paw in the box is enough to decide that it fits, and the other three legs follow. You turn once, twice, and swirl yourself into the tight-fit space like a screw turning into a hole. The box sides bulge against your size, and the snugness and darkness is nice. You purr in a way that's just for you—happy to be in a box.

When Andre pulls the closet door wide open, the light from the hall surprises you.

"Here you are," he says, like he's been looking. "I did wonder if I should keep this thing shut."

You blink at him vacantly as you get your wits together, though sticking to what you're doing actually turns out to be ideal. Andre leans in with his camera. There's a click as another bright light assaults your eyes.

"So cute," he says with a grin as you abandon the closet and slink out again into the hall.

What do you want to check out next?

And now, it is finally time for us to head upstairs.

quote:

Stairs on their own are not hard for you to manage, but life is not always that easy. At their carpet-clad summit, you are met with a meter-high gate depicting clowns and colored snails. You'd curse if you were a human.

-I'm methodical. I focus on a spot just above the top, then leap for it.
-I imagine a rabid dog is pursuing me. That'll help me with the run-up.
-I relish the puzzle of figuring out how the catch on the door works.
-I meow loudly to demand that someone open this thing for me.
-Meow pitifully and hope that someone cares enough about me to help.

Ok, so now what do we do?

1. I'm methodical. I focus on a spot just above the top, then leap for it.
2. I imagine a rabid dog is pursuing me. That'll help me with the run-up.
3. I relish the puzzle of figuring out how the catch on the door works.
4. I meow loudly to demand that someone open this thing for me.
5. Meow pitifully and hope that someone cares enough about me to help.
