Now I growl when I 'm pleased , and wag my tail when I 'm angry . Therefore I 'm mad . ' ' I call it purring , not growling , ' said Alice . ` Call it what you like , ' said the Cat . ` Do you play croquet with the Queen to-day ? ' ' I should like it very much , ' said Alice , ` but I have n't been invited yet . ' ` You 'll see me there , ' said the Cat , and vanished . Alice was not much surprised at this , she was getting so used to queer things happening . While she was looking at the place where it had been , it suddenly appeared again . ` By-the-bye , what became of the baby ? ' said the Cat . ` I 'd nearly forgotten to ask . ' ` It turned into a pig , ' Alice quietly said , just as if it had come back in a natural way . ' I thought it would , ' said the Cat , and vanished again . Alice waited a little , half expecting to see it again , but it did not appear , and after a minute or two she walked on in the direction in which the March Hare was said to live . ` I 've seen hatters before , ' she said to herself ; ` the March Hare will be much the most interesting , and perhaps as this is May it wo n't be raving mad -- at least not so mad as it was in March . ' As she said this , she looked up , and there was the Cat again , sitting on a branch of a tree . ` Did you say pig , or fig ? ' said the Cat . ' I said pig , ' replied Alice ; ` and I wish you would n't keep appearing and vanishing so suddenly : you make one quite giddy . '
` All right , ' said the Cat ; and this time it vanished quite slowly , beginning with the end of the tail , and ending with the grin , which remained some time after the rest XXXXX it had gone .
