“The Vet Visit Vagabonds” (book 5) Excerpt
“…”Pit-Paht,” said Purrkins, lazily rolling on to his back in order to sun his very large stomach, “I do feel very much inclined to hahve some fun” – (which, in case you were wondering, is felinese for “I do feel very much inclined to get into mischief”) – “but there hahsn’t been any occasion to hahve fun!”
“W-w-well, P-Purrkinth,” Pit-Pat replied, “P-p-perhapth that’th j-jutht ath well. Y-you know how the M-M-Mithreth and ethpecially the M-Mathter get tho mad at uth when we have f-f-fun.”

“Well,” said Purrkins meditatively, “I suppose that for now we cahn just wait and when 4:45 comes, then we shall hide.”
“Th-that’th a g-g-good idea, P-P-Purrkinth.”
So they did. They tried to act quite normal, and succeeded so well that Mrs. Harrington said to Alice, “It looks like the kitties will be easy to catch today!”…”
