His eyes opened slowly, then he saw me and got up immediately. "Sorry, honey. I didn't mean to sleep in again." he said in his deep, loud voice. Then he wheezed, gagged, and coughed. I rolled my eyes.
"Fat Lard, do not call me honey. Call me Chibi, or Your Most High Beautifulness. Preferably the latter."
"Can I call you Y.M.H.B. for short?"
"No!!!"
Then we went to the wall and pressed the secret button that is hidden beneath the electric outlet. The floor folded in beneath us, and we slid down the long slide. When we reached the bottom, the other pets were already there. Molly the cat welcomed us and we sat in our places. I sat next to Fat Lard. Next to me was Fat Louie, Tumbleweed, and Misha. I guess Molly asked Fat Louie to kitten-sit for Misha and Tumbleweed. They are only about 6 months old.
The underground cave is pretty simple. It has hard-packed dirt as floor and walls. There are some towels (courtesy of the laundry basket) laid down for seats. In the front, the ground rises up two feet for a stage, also made of hard packed dirt. In the corner the cats have stashed treats for them. Fat Lard and I have stashed bacon the the humans think we have eaten.
Molly walked center stage and rose to her back paws. "Welcome Cats and Dogs. We are pleased to have you here for the meeting of the pets."
The neighborhood cats meowed and woofed."
"Today we will be discussing tips on paw-cleaning..."
Cats cheered.
"... Doggy-digging..."
Dogs barked.
"...and interviewing Scruffy, the neighbor cat."

Two hours later Mack and I went back o the house and talked abot the meeting. The humans were up watching television. I couldn't resist going to watch it with them.
"Hi Chibi! Where have you been?" said De One With No Fur.
If only he knew...
Well after a long time I went back to sleep. Then I had to wake up again and do my job- guarding the house.
Well, that's all I have done today so far. Hope things get more interesting for your sake, fans.
Keep Wagging!
