Chapter 74 – It is imprisoned (II)

“It requests that It’s captor releases It from cat prison.”

“…”

“It offers It’s captor 10 head pats.”

“…”

“It accepts counter offer.”

“Meow.”

“Understood. The Price will be one treat and 10 chin scratches. The Task will be for It’s captor to release It from cat prison. Are these Terms correct?”

“Meow.”

“It thanks Mrrrau.”

“…”

“It must first be released in order to acquire treats.”

“Meow.”

“It relents.”

“…”

“Amy, It requests that you acquire treats for It.”

“Oh, are you hungry? It’s not dinner time yet, though.”

“It requests cat treats.”

“Thia, you can’t have cat treats either.”

“It clarifies: It requests cat treats to give to Mrrrau.”

“Heh.”

“It is being bullied.”

“Hehe. Correct! It’s so rare to see my cute Thia taking a loss. Adding Thia’s aggrieved look of betrayal to the Collection Log.”

“It’s face is unchanging.”

“Okay, okay. Wifey’s always right. Thanks for the cute treat. I’ll bring some treats for you and kitty now.”

“Wifey thanks Amy.”

“Don’t eat the wrong one.”

“It will not.”

“Cuuute—oh. The cat’s eating yours.”

“Eating It’s treat was not in the Terms.”

“Meow.”

“It relents. The Terms did not explicitly specify one cat treat.”

“Meow.”

“It will now escape from cat prison.”

“Meow.”

“Cuuute~”

Chapter 75 – It’s Wife invites danger

“Thia, why are you just standing around?”

“It considers sitting to be dangerous.”

“What? Why? Is there a spider on the couch?”

“Incorrect. The couch is clean.”

“Okay, good. I would have made you throw the spider out anyway.”

“Understood.”

“So. Standing… Why?”

“It is preempting any further incidents of imprisonment.”

“Meow.”

“Aww you’re so cute, kitty—nevermind. Bye kitty.”

“It is impressed by Amy’s inherent cat repellent abilities. It would like to learn from Amy.”

“Don’t twist the knife. Do you think I want to live like this? I just want to be imprisoned by the meowmeow, too.”

“It is perplexed but supportive of It’s Wife.”

“Wait, I have an idea.”

“It listens.”

“I sit down on the couch. Thia lies down across me, so I’m in Thia prison. Kitty lies down on Thia, so you’re in cat prison. Net result: we all get to be imprisoned together.”

“It thinks Amy wishes to play a dangerous game.”

“It’ll be so cute! What’s the worst that could happen?”

♢♢♢

“Thia… my butt’s so numb… can you scoot a little bit?”

“It cannot. It is in cat prison and cannot disturb It’s captor.”

“Mr. Fluffykins, can you move for like 30 seconds so I can readjust?”

“…”

“Please?”

“Meow.”

♢♢♢

“Kitty, I have to pee…”

“Meow.”

“Could you release Thia from cat prison for just a minute so I can hop out?”

“…”

“New trade offer: I give you one crack-in-a-tube fish stick thing. You release Thia from cat prison. Agreed?”

“Meow.”

“Thank god.”

“. . .”

“…Thia?”

“It greets It’s Wife.”

“Thia, you have to get up too, or I’m still going to be stuck in Thia prison.”

“What Price will Amy offer It for freedom?”

“…”

“. . .”

“I’m being bullied.”

“Correct.”

“New trade offer: I bring Thia strawbies after I come back from the bathroom. You release Amy from Thia prison. Agreed?”

“The Task and Price are Just. It obeys the Terms.”

“You’re lucky you’re cute. Both of you.”

“Meow.”

“Meow.”

“Hah…”
