  > look at your surroundings
  You turn to face to your left and bound away.
  
  Halfway down the hall, the non-solid mow has slats from the top to the bottom, like what is on the window in your place. It has a wonderful fresh smell that makes you want to lie down and go to sleep, if only there were something soft enough to sleep on. The solid mow on the opposite side greets you with a welcoming and familiar scent from between it and the floor. You would know it anywhere -- it is Him. He is not here, but beyond is surely His lair.
  
  > R.
  Here enormous metal boxes reach upward from a shiny floor that you can skid across if you run fast enough and suddenly stop. The tallest box is cold, vibrates, and smells like food! The shorter boxes also smell like food, but not as strongly. The whole area smells like trees -- a fresh, outdoors kind of scent, which doesn't make sense, because this is indoors.
  
  Halfway to the ceiling (it seems) a shiny surface ledge runs like a pathway, over a shorter box and connects to the tallest one. It's wider than the ledge in your place. In the middle of the floor the brown table towers over you. The guest chair sits underneath it, and His chair is nearby.
  
  > jump on his
  You agilely leap upwards into the chair.
  
  You hear the sound of grooming coming from somewhere nearby.
  
  > jump on the table
  You easily jump up on the table, your claws clutching the threaded surface.
  
  This is a small place, a little bit larger than the soft place but not as large as the place around it. If you ran around here, you'd definitely fall off the edges. The floor feels like a bunch of string, tightly wound together and it is arranged in colors and in patterns of things you don't recognize. From here, you can see a shiny surface you could easily jump to, and you can view most of the room and the next room over, which pulls your kittenish heart with what looks like large and soft beds. Taking a quick sniff, you realize that this area is used for eating food, but there is no food here now.
  
  You can see a phone and a remote here.
  
  > jump on the counter
  That doesn't look far away. You take a quick look and with a little jump you land safely on the countertop.
  
  From up here, you can see the entire shiny place. Only the refrigerator top gives a better view. It makes you feel powerful and important, like perhaps you controlled the whole area and had a few cat soldiers to do your bidding as well. If it was softer and not so narrow, it would make a great bed. From here, you can jump up to the metal box. The most distinctive smell is the scent of Goodcat/Badcat. He is near.
  
  > jump on the ftop
  You leap up to the top with the greatest of ease.
  
  You are on top of the cold metal cube, better known as "refrigerator" and "Goodcat/Badcat's lair". Strangely, it is not cold here, but fairly cozy with the faint smell of food. You can see why he chose this location for a lair. You think you'd probably have done the same.
  
  You can see Goodcat/Badcat here.
  
  Goodcat/Badcat seems to be considering your actions carefully.
  
  > stare at the Cat
  He draws back and gives you a withering look as though you had the manners of a canine.
  
  > watch the Cat
  You look at him and you feel his eyes staring a hole through yours. He seems angry; you feel decidedly nervous.
  
  > wait
  Goodcat/Badcat seems to be considering your actions carefully.
  
  Time passes.
  
  > examine the kitchen
  (the kitchen floor)
  It's shiny and smooth, but it gives you just enough to grip on. You skid occasionally when you stop suddenly, but you don't glide.
  
  > jump on the counter
  You jump down and land on the countertop with a noticeable "thud".

  > jump on the table
  You span the distance with a soft jump and skid to a stop on the table.

  You can see a phone and a remote here.
  
  The phone right next to you suddenly starts Ringing VeRy LOUDLY. You almost involuntarily leap off the table in surprise.
  
  > get the remote
  You already have the sock in your mouth!
  
  The phone rings right beside you. It's loud!
  
  > jump on the counter

  An artificial voice from the phone on the table repeats itself with strange quiet parts between.

  > Wave tail
  But you aren't holding you.
  
  An artificial voice from the phone on the table repeats itself with strange quiet parts between.
  
  > drop the sock
  He studiously ignores you.
  
  A horrible grating sound comes out of the phone on the table! Goodcat/Badcat makes a disgusted face and his baleful eyes blame you.
  
  > take the sock
  You already have the sock in your mouth!
  
  > give the sock to the Cat
  He studiously ignores you.
  
  The awful grating sound stops and the phone is silent once again. Goodcat/Badcat exhales loudly and fixes you with an expression that clearly communicates, "Let's not do that again, shall we?" You feel embarrassed but relieved.
  
  > check your inventory
  You are carrying:
  a sock
  
  > jump on the counter
  You jump down and land on the countertop with a noticeable "thud".

  You can see a phone and a remote here.
  
  > jump down
  After a few moments of weightless falling and the rude impact, you are once again walking around on the shiny floor.
  
  Here enormous metal boxes reach upward from a shiny floor that you can skid across if you run fast enough and suddenly stop. The tallest box is cold, vibrates, and smells like food! The shorter boxes also smell like food, but not as strongly. The whole area smells like trees -- a fresh, outdoors kind of scent, which doesn't make sense, because this is indoors.

  You hear the sound of grooming coming from somewhere nearby.
  
  > R.
  The carpet ends here at a mow like the one that leads out of your place. You're not sure how He manages to open these things, but He must be strong. This mow looks a lot like the shiny floor, actually; it looks like it is made up of different tiles, all different colors. Sniffing the edges, you realize that it is a gateway to the outside. Images of grass, bright sunshine, concern, danger, and burden roll over you and you think that the outside is a fearful but wonderful place, and amazingly large. You also smell a distinctively female scent, like flowers, but far too strong; yet it is similar to Him. It is the scent of his littermate, the one he calls "sister" and "Emily".
  
  > B.
  You turn to face behind you and bound away.
  
  Just to your left, the shiny and slippery floor begins and the large shiny things sit. The opposite way, you see softer but equally large things, but also a plant that sits in what looks like a square water bowl. The carpet is soft and it leads behind you, but in front of you is the stringy ow that you'll have to climb to get over.
  
  The tall stringy gate bars progress in front of you.
  
  > R.
  This is a comfortable room that also has strange things in it. The carpet gets very thick and comfortable in the middle of the room and it changes colors too. A narrow cloth bed (it looks like your bed, but it is so large that it must be for Him) touches the hall and beyond it is a wide cloth bed. They look soft and you can't wait to get your paws on them. Far away is a mow through which you can see the outside. Beside it is a plant that grows in a tall water dish. Near the plant there is a large black shiny square and a frozen bug on top of it, and beside the narrow bed is a puffy ball held in place by some kind of stick. The smells here fuse into one onrush of aroma that makes you feel relaxed and at home. You can't wait to smell each thing and find out how it got here and what Goodcat/Badcat has to say.
  
  > Smell tv
  The square has a scent history that tells you about the people that made it, but they are all far away. He doesn't often touch it and Goodcat/Badcat indicates that this is useful for distracting other humans.
  
  > examine remote
  A black bar about half as long as you are, filled with a lot of buttons. It's obviously made for hands like His as the buttons are too small for you to push individually.
  
  > look at the tv
  It's a large black square, although it's also pretty shiny. You're too far away to note much else.
  
  > Smell the sofa
  You smell nothing particularly interesting.
  
  The house settles and creaks, giving you a start.
  
  > look under the sofa
  You look under it, but only see the floor.
  
  > look
  This is a comfortable room that also has strange things in it. The carpet gets very thick and comfortable in the middle of the room and it changes colors too.

The smells here fuse into one onrush of aroma that makes you feel relaxed and at home.
  
  > Smell ball
  You try to reach it, but it's too high up. Maybe if you were in the narrow bed.
  
  > jump on bed
  What do you want to jump on: the sofa or the love seat?
  
  > Narrow
  You jump on the smaller springy-soft bed (this is a "love seat") and luxuriate in how it feels on your paws. You sniff around. There are several stories here, but they are simple ones. This place is one of Goodcat/Badcat's favorites. He was here earlier in the day and was feeling gassy. He thinks he shouldn't have eaten that crunchy thing he found under the tall vibrating box. There is that smell of Emily, again! She was visiting yesterday and was concerned that He had no offspring. She seems to think that He is too immature. You immediately think ill of her and want to show Her that He does have offspring -- you!
  
  > examine the ball
  It's a curiously large bumpy ball with some kind of wooden stick holding it up. You sniff it and smell its papery, dusty kind of smell that reminds you of old things. It was put together with a lot of care and attention by men who wear lenses in front of their eyes.
  
  > jump on the ball
  You jump on it for a moment, but quickly tire of the one-sided play.
  
  > Smell ball
  The globe smells like Him, as He has touched it many times, and you can tell that He longs to go to faraway places. The globe also smells like the forest and some kind of paper made from trees. The forest is not right outside, but it is one near to here.
  
  > Turn ball
  [You can turn around, or you can turn left or right.]
  
  > Rub globe
  You idly rub against it and let the world know that you were here.
  
  From right outside, you hear what sounds like a storm -- a rumbling, grumbling, coughing sound. You look around for somewhere to hide, but before you can find a place, it's over. Then you hear a slamming like the mow when He leaves and right before He sees you. Is He coming back?
