Action Kitty

I'm not sure whether I was back in California or back in Idaho, because the town I was in had elements and people from both. I was attending a weekly Bible study with students I knew from California, which was being hosted at Toby's house. It's been a while since I've been in contact with Toby. Anyway, he had this new cat, which was named Action Kitty. This didn't seem strange at the time, but Action Kitty was capable of saying her own name. It came out like a meow, but the syllables were distinct and you could definitely understand what she was saying. She would walk up to you and say "Action Kitty!" when she wanted to play, which was about once every ten minutes. Unfortunately, Action Kitty had some sort of degenerative disease similar to leprosy and was only expected to live for a few more weeks. Most people weren't aware of this because her thick fur hid most of the symptoms. Toby said something about her slowing down a lot. I was incredulous about this, and he said I should have seen how active she was before she got sick.
