Co tu zrobić? Pańcia wyszła - czas więc nadszedł by w tym domu ustanowić Kocią Supremację Zajęć, harców, zabaw w domu, tychże z ludzmi jest bez liku. Można choćby, po kryjomu Zjeść jak człowiek, przy stoliku  Beznadzieja! Skąd tradycje, by w tej niewygodzie konsumować swe delicje? Nie lepiej w ogrodzie?
