A week went by in the pound and I was finally getting used to everything. Then on the 8th night, around midnight, I tossed over and over in my cage. A thought had crossed my mind and I had to talk about it. I rolled over and looked at Lufkin.

"PSSST! Hey! Lufkin…. You awake?" I whispered

Lufkin moaned

"Psssst! Hey! Luuufkin! Are you awake? I need to ask you something!!"

*Lufkin mumbled *

"Whu..wha…what? Oh… well…" Lufkin yawned

"I guess I am now. What is it?"

"Well, I was just thinking… how long have you been here?"

"Me? I've been here 2 months now…okay, goodnight Mowizzle."

Lufkin rolled around on his side.

"No wait!!"

I poked him in the side.

"How long is it before the cats are given a home?"

"Well," he rolled back over facing me "that depends…if you're cute, like me, you'll get a home pretty quick…if you're not…you can be in here longer…now, goodnight."

"NO wait! I'm not through with you, Sleepy!" I thought a moment. "Well, you must not be THAT cute …otherwise you would have left by the first week… anyways, what I was gonna say. What's going to happen when all of us go our separate ways to new homes? We'll never meet again. I don't wanna lose you guys a second time around."

"Well…there's no way you can prevent it, really. It's bound to happen. But for now, we can just hope that none of us are chosen to go."

I contemplated what Lufkin said. I then remembered something, just as he was about to turn over.

"Lufkin…"

He turned over and looked at me with only one eye open

"Whaaaat, Mowizzle?"

"What ever happened to that Pamautico fellow?" I felt myself blushing just thinking about him.

"Oh… him? Well, I haven't seen him for about 3 months now."

I nodded and tried to hope he didn't notice me turning a bright shade of pink.

"Okay, Goodnight Lufkin."

And with that, he turned over to go back to sleep.
