\"a500VampireCats\"<\/a>Yeti and Boo are taking a break, and, uncharacteristically, Yeti is actually allowing Boo to soothingly bathe her head.<\/em><\/p>\n

Boo<\/strong>: Wow, you need to relax; you’re really tense. So, what’s on your mind?<\/p>\n

Yeti<\/strong>: I don’t like how Mama sounds lately.<\/p>\n

Boo<\/strong>: You must<\/em> be worried; you just called Missus “Mama”! And you’ve hardly left her side for days.<\/p>\n

Yeti<\/strong>: She hasn’t spoken for days; she just squeaks and rasps, coughs and wheezes. I want to make sure she’s okay.<\/p>\n

Boo<\/strong>: People sure seem to get sick worse than cats.<\/p>\n

Yeti<\/strong>: And stay that way a long time.<\/p>\n

Boo<\/strong>: I don’t like her wheezing either.<\/p>\n

Yeti<\/strong>: It certainly doesn’t sound good. Poor…Mom.<\/p>\n

Boo<\/strong>: Her noises sound like those of monsters. Unless I’m looking at her, I think we’ve been invaded by them.<\/p>\n

Yeti<\/strong>: Luckily, there’s no such thing as monsters.<\/p>\n

Boo<\/strong>: [Matter-of-factly<\/em>] Yes there are.<\/p>\n

Yeti<\/strong>: [Making a face<\/em>] Have you ever seen one?<\/p>\n

Boo<\/strong>: Well, not in person – not at all, really. But they exist.<\/p>\n

Yeti<\/strong>: Reallll-ly. What do they look like?<\/p>\n

Boo<\/strong>: I – I don’t know. But they sound<\/em> like Missus.<\/p>\n

Yeti<\/strong>: You don’t know how they sound any more than you know what they look like. Here, let’s approach this scientifically. Are there any credible reports of sightings?<\/p>\n

Boo<\/strong>: Almost every child in existence reports sightings!<\/p>\n

Yeti<\/strong>: A tired, hysterical child’s imagination is hardly reliable. Rational adults – and cats – never see them. Explain that.<\/p>\n

Boo<\/strong>: [Smugly<\/em>] Adults report seeing Bigfoot – and…Yetis<\/em> too! And I’m looking at one right now<\/em>!<\/p>\n

Yeti<\/strong>: [Rolling eyes<\/em>] I’m different – one of a kind – and hardly monstrous. Try again.<\/p>\n

Boo<\/strong>: Stop using logic on me – they’re real! It’s proven by scientists somewhere… [noting Yeti’s skeptical stare<\/em>] – it must be, some<\/em>where!<\/p>\n

Yeti<\/strong>: [Shaking head<\/em>] Conjecture. You can’t give me a source or even describe one. Okay, Miss Know-it-All, if they’re real, and documented in the scientific community, what genus and species are they?<\/p>\n

Boo<\/strong>: What – how should I know?<\/p>\n

Yeti<\/strong>: [Swishing tail<\/em>] Binomial nomenclature, please.<\/p>\n

Boo<\/strong>: You know I don’t speak Latin.<\/p>\n

Yeti<\/strong>: Nope – just gibberish.<\/p>\n

[A disheveled Missus\/Mom staggers into the room, wrapped in blankets, hair askew, face chapped, thermometer in mouth, wielding two tissue boxes, and startles them with a sudden violent hacking fit.<\/em>]<\/p>\n

Yeti and<\/em><\/strong> Boo<\/strong>: MONSTER!!!<\/p>\n
