My Favourite Corner

Schrodinger: Dear Diary, Hoomama had a completely and totally unreasonable over reaction last night…

Hoomun: It was NOT unreasonable cat!


Schrodinger: …A COMPLETELY unreasonable over reaction. I mean, it was ONLY a couple of drops in my favourite corner, seriously, she couldn’t even smell it and I felt so much better afterwards.


Hoomun: Cat, you were PADDLING in it and it was in my bedroom.


Schrodinger: I was just cleaning up after myself, you should be proud of my fastidiousness.


Hoomun: (Sarcastically) Oh yes cat, very proud.


Schrodinger: See? I’m glad we had this little chat, cleared the air and now you know what I was doing. But it was STILL a totally unreasonable over reaction to SHOVE me into The Cage after such a small amount.


Hoomun: Cat, you were in the boy’s room casing the curtains.


Schrodinger: Well you didn’t like me leaving those few drops in your room so I had to find somewhere comfortable…and I do like curtains.


Hoomun: Don’t I know it.


Schrodinger: Anyway, if you’re going to shove me behind bars, then I will make my remarks freely as I reflect on the situation. Here hoomum, I sing for you, it’s a composition of my own called, Song Of The People and it goes like this.…


MMMMMEEEEEEOOOOOOWWWWWW……MEOW…..MMMEEEEOOOOWWWWW……

it’s quite long you’ll find, but rich in my own culture and diversity. So many dramatic and high pitched notes.


Hoomun: Yes, I noticed those in particular.


Schrodinger: You see hoomum, if you’re going to be so unreasonable, then I will sing for you. And sing, and sing, and sing…. Besides, consider it to be musical accompaniment, you were already up and changing the hoochild’s bed after all.


Hoomun: Yes, exactly cat. It was 3am and I was changing the boy’s bed, showering him clean, finding him new pjs and putting his bedding in the laundry. I did NOT need you contributing to the situation!


Schrodinger: I think you’ll find hoomum, that when I do not approve of an unjust situation, I can be quite stubborn….and musical.


Hoomun: Yes cat, I noticed that.

Eventually even the boy came into my room with his hands over his ears moaning, “Noisy! Too noisy! CCCAAAATTTT!!!!!”


Schrodinger: Ah. I succeed. Now let me out. Hoomum? Hoomum? HHHOOOOMMMUUUUMMMMM!!!!


The cat’s howls fade into the distance as hoomun puts a pillow over her head. Fade to black.
