“Hey, Lucy. YOU AWAKE?”
“Um, I am now.”
“How about a game of Puma and Water Buffalo?”
“You get to be the Puma, right?”
“Well, let’s just ask ourselves. Who most resembles the Puma?”
“Sure, and who most resembles the Water Buffalo?”
“I will ask everyone out there. Who indeed.”
“Who are you talking to for heaven’s sake?”
“Just a couple of deer. Certainly, no one who can answer the question.”
“For a minute there….Ah, never mind.”
“So how about it? A quick game? After all, it is fifty degrees.”
“Okay, but don’t start whining when the Water Buffalo gores you silly.”
“The Puma begins the stealthy attack.”
“The Water Buffalo prepares to defend the herd.”
“The Puma stikes with razor-like claws.”
“Which the Water Buffalo deflects.”
“The Puma decides to let the Water Buffalo live.”
“The Water Buffalo decides to let the Puma live.”
“That was fun.”
“Yes, it was. Makes a nap so much more beautiful.

That was a quick game. I’d guess Lucy is humoring Twiggy. My daughter’s cat used to eat breakfast then stalk me as I sat on the couch. She’d climb to the back of the couch, walk behind me, and bat me on the head Funny cat. 😀 — Suzanne
