Cuddles and BamBam come up the driveway. Cuddles sees the mountain of supplies for the roof. Bam brings in baskets of fresh fruit salad with catnip and cat grasses mixed in, some salmon and tuna, and several roasted chickens and turkeys to feed all the hard-working, hungry kits.

Cuddles calls up to the guys on the roof, "what do you want me to bring up first? I don't know much about tools, but I'm big and strong, and I can carry a lot.

Lucky has been observing the guykits on the roof, but he doesn't have any experience with tools. He thinks that he is yet too young to get involved, so he runs off to chase some birdies instead.

Pal pulls in with Tony da Pony hooked to a wagon and 2 wriggling squirming young cats hopping about. Dey bwing in dishes ob food and sum chikken, tuna cassaroll and some bread and butter to go on it. Dey also habe some Tuna salad. Hank peers up da ladder to da roof, I not know how much I can hewp being young and all but maybe I could pass dwinks and stuff up, he looks longingly at da barn really wanting to go eggsplore. Lilly goes in da house and twies to pretend da she be all gwown up to hewp but she spending more time wooking in nooks and crannies fur stuff to get into. Pal moves the wagon closer and it has wood and paint and building stuff in it. Pal looks fur da kiddens and sees dey habe boff gone so he unloads it and puts Tony in da pasture and goes to see if he can find eidder kidden. After he sees boff are safe, he sighs and sprawls on da porch where he can catch a glimpse ob dem boff now and den.

gracie wunders just what a parallelplegic kit can do to hailp wif da roof raisin. cain't climb no ladders to werk on da roof, cain't compeet wif alla do dood cooking (mebbe wif a easy-bayke oben, which be at her lebel?) tho she DO gots grayt-auntie ceilidh djinn's katlua and creem resipee. whut to do, whut to do. she can be a bery dood door snakey to keep drafts out in da winter, but dat not gonna do nuffing fur now.

eny gots eny ideas what we specially-needy cats can do to be part ob dis adbenture? (oh, iffen dere be hard-word floors, we can polish dem reel dood: we liek to spin in circles, tho sometimes we lose a bit ob control and sort of spray in lots ob direkshuns.)

gracie da onliest housecat

Graci, maybe yu cood keep da lady kits suppwied wit empty boxes while dey do da packin up an yu cood hewlp dust da stuff day puttin in da boxes
