GK:....brought to you by Bertha's Kitty Boutique, for persons who care about cats. (MEOW)

CF: Our cats grow up within our circle of energy, they imitate our defense mechanisms, they become a part of our life narrative --- they absorb our values --- so it can come as a shock to open the door one morning and find ---- (MEOW) (CF GASPS) --- the battered carcass of a bird or rodent. Oh Puff. (MEOW) I don't blame you, Puff. Somehow, you've picked up some kind of angry violent vibrations in my life. You didn't kill that mouse, I did. (QUIZZICAL CAT "oh?") I'm changing your diet to Vegetarian Alternatives from Bertha's. Tofu shaped like chipmunks, natural soy rats, cauliflower chickadees. (MEOW) Because I care.

GK: Bertha's Kitty Boutique, in the Dales, for persons who care about cats. (BKB THEME)
