Part the first

The Cat: Feed Me!
Peter: There’s food in your bowl.
The Cat: FEED ME!
Peter: There’s food in your bowl. I just put it there.
The Cat: FEED MEEEEEEE!
Peter: For fucks sake.
Peter picks up the cat, puts it next to the bowl.
The Cat:
FEEEEED M–
The Cat notices the presence of food.
The Cat:
Oh, right.
Peter: You’re an idiot, you know that?
The Cat, speaking with its mouth full: FEED ME!
Peter:
Peter: Ten days to go.

Part the Two

Peter hears a comotion outside and goes to look. Finds The Cat engaged in deadly war with a dragonfly.
The Cat:
Is deadly beast! I save you!
Peter: Whatever floats your boat, cat, just don’t bring it in and eat it on my feet.
The Cat: Die! Die! Die!
The Cat whacks the dragonfly with its paw over and over. The dragonfly waits this out and flies towards the fence.
The Cat:
Noooooo.
The Cat chases the dragonfly. Peter shakes his head.
Peter:
This will not end well.
The Cat runs headfirst into the fenceline. The Dragonfly flees accross the road, laughing to itself.
The Cat: What? Who put that there?
Peter shakes his head.
Peter:
Cat, please be aware that I do not like you enough to have you bleed in my car should you need to go to the vet..
