• 1:45
  Speaker 2: or however the hell we do it.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: And we're also going to have, you know, how dumb
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: are dogs? You know, very, very popular feature here on Catscape.

• 2:00
  Speaker 1: the hell, you can submit your name. You don't have
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: to have no human do it. You can submit it yourself.

  Speaker 3: Yeah, if you're a cat, you know that you did
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: a good thing.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Right.

  Speaker 2: If you're a cat, you know you did a good thing. Well,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: what do you mean? Who's going to go say, yeah,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: you know what I did? I chased a ball of
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: string like a block.
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: What?
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: That's not a big heroic thing. Talking about saving, the
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: only thing that counts with humans is if you save
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: their rear ends.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's true, yeah.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: You're going to be able to save them.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: So we got to that end. We got a beautiful

  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm Thunder.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay. So I'm talking to cats on the podcast?

  Speaker 2: That's right. This is Catscapes.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: And.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: What's it called? It's called Catscapes. It's a show we do. Oh, Catscapes. Okay.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: And you remember me calling you yesterday? No, I don't
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: have any memory of any of it, you know. But
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: I do remember the event. Now, baby, you were a cat.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: You were 13 years old already when this whole house
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: fire took place there in the home of, what's the
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: guy's name again?
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: Joel?
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it was shared. Joel Ornberg was the guy's name.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: That's the guy's name.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Right. What happened to your throat? Were you out on
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: the fence going, yeah? Yeah, I've done. So what? We're
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: talking about when you saved the family. Oh, yeah, yeah. Well,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: I was at Wonder Lake is where they lived, and
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: I was their cat, and you know how that goes. Oh, Letitia,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: she was wonderful. Yeah, Letitia Kowalowski and Jewel Ornberg. Right, right, okay.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: And all of a sudden, you know, I can smell smoke,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: and there's a fire in a bedroom. And Orenberg, you know,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: this guy, a human, he gets up. He tries to
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: hit it with an extinguisher. I'm like going, you know, yeah, yeah.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: When a cat, you know, I'm jumping up and down
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: and everything. And they finally got the kid, and they
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: got out of there, you know. And she was, I think,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: pregnant at the time. So what did you do? Did
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: you jump on their head or something? Well, when you're
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: a cat, you know, you don't bark. So the thing
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: you do as a cat, and I've been in a
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: situation a number of times when a human's about to
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: die and you're a cat. And what do you do?
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: So I'll leap on their face and stay there until
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: they go, yeah, you know. Yeah, that sounds like a
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: good deal. It's like it's a face grip.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: You don't have to do that because they don't have
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: no bark.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no bark.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: It's pretty much what I just got done saying. Oh,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. You understand we're sort of in awe. Okay, well,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: but anyway, so I grabbed his face. I wrapped the
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: lower legs around the lower part of the head, and
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: I just grabbed it, you know, and he's like, God,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: I can't breathe. And suddenly, oh, my God, there's a fire.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: And I got off him. I said, you got that right, squirt.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Was he some kind of a short guy? I don't remember.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: Anyway.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: The kid, they had a baby. I think they grabbed
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: the kid and they got the hell out, you know.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: But everything was burned to a crisp. And this was
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: in Chicago night, 2010? Yeah, it's about 2010.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: Oh, gosh, long time ago.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I'm going to ask you later on what you attribute
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: your longevity to. Not getting burned in that fire.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: Hey, I'm talking to a guy over here.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: No, that's a great point. Very, very great point. Yeah,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: but you're not going to get burned up. No, I
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: didn't get burned. How do I treat it? The first
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: thing you don't want to do is get run over
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: by a car. I find, let me just tell you,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: young cat, something. I find that if you can not
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: get run over by a car, Jack, you're aces, you know.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Gives you that much more of a chance, huh? Yeah,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: gives you that much. Did you read, by the way,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: I just read Chris Cuomo tested positive for Corona.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: Who's that?
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Chris Cuomo to CNN? Yeah, I just read that here.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: But anyway, I split. I got too weirded out by everything. Yeah,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: we've seen the article where you left. Yeah, I did.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: I said, I've got to get out of here. These
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: people are too, they're a little too loose. You know,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: they're too, they're very loose and wild in their ways.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: But they set a trap for me. They put some
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: of my favorite pate. I enjoy very deeply the liver
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: and the chickens and so forth. And they set a trap,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: and they caught me in the trap. Actually, Orenberg's employer
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: was in that neighborhood. Where did you go? You left
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: the house, huh? Yeah, I left Wonder Lake, and I
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: wandered out near Wonder Lake. I left Wonder Lake, the neighborhood,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: and I went to the lake and just sat and
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: looked at it and thought, do I really want.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: To go back there?
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: What were you going to do? I don't know. I'd
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: probably get caught by animal rescue. I was 13, but
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: it turned out that they caught me. And they brought
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: me back to Mr. Ornberg, and he was telling the
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Chicago Tribune that, you know, he was happy that I
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: was back. So I began to get a little bit
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: more appreciation around there. That's a very good point, you know,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: because we talk a lot on the show here about
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: how cats, you know, people have the crap all over us,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: you know. Yeah, but you know something, we're not, humans
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: want to have their you-know-what, you know. Don't say it. Yeah,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: we know what you're talking about. Right. Humans aren't happy
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: with a pet unless you're kissing it morning, noon, and night,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: twice on Sunday, with a little extra, you know, a
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: little extra lipstick. So I felt that, you know, it
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: was incumbent upon me to just take the high road
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: and get the hell out while the getting was good. And, uh,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: You didn't know where you were going. You probably just
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: wound up at an animal rescue or something? You know,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: this was too boring. As I said, it was like...
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: But when they caught me and they brought me back
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: to the house, well, then, you know, all was well.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: All's well that ends well, you know. And that's how
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: that went. Talking here with Baby, who is 23.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: We're talking about something that happened to Baby 10 years
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: ago when you saved a family at a family fire. Yeah, it's... Okay, see,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: you say that the way you wake up, there's a
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: lot of, get a lot of calls from listeners who say, hey,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: how do you wake a human, if you're a cat,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: how do you wake the humans up? You grip the
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: guy's face.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, what about the other people? Well, all
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: you got to do is wake up one of them,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: you know, and Ornberg is a sound sleeper, I remember him.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: So I said, Jesus H I looked I could smell
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: fire I saw the crackling of the flames behind the
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: door and everybody else was sawing logs you know and
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking you know what's going to happen I'm going
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: to get blamed for this if oh yeah that's yeah
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: yeah you know how they play things yeah pretty much
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: yeah alright so I'm going to get blamed so I
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: said I'm going to have to wake this sucker up
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: And I remember hopping up and down, and I'm saying,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: come on, sucker, don't be a sucker. And finally I
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: went ahead and did the face grip with my, I'll
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: say it, you know, I had my anus right over
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: his nose. Hey, that's what you got to do, you know.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Got to do what you got to do. You got
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: to do what you got to do. No doubt about that. Right, so,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: and that's when he went, yeah, or whatever he said,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: I forget, and he leapt out of bed, and he
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: was about ready to take me and throw me into
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Wonder Lake. It's a wonder I didn't get thrown into
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Wonder Lake.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: I bet you've done a lot of them jokes down
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: to the years, huh?
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: I didn't mean nothing by that. Okay. Anyway, genius gets up,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: puts the fire out. The lady, she grabs the baby,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: all kinds of cribs and crap. And I'm running out
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: behind them, you know, and I'm like a second thought. Well,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: that's the way it is, though, right? Yeah, you know.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: That's always going to be the way it is for
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: a cat. You know, we never get no appreciation of nothing.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: All right, well, ease back a little bit. You know,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: these are human beings, after all. They like a pet.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Like I said, they like a pet that'll just go.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: On that... Jesus Christ.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Well, that's kind of dirty what you're going to say.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: But you know what I mean. So I split, and
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: they trapped me. They set a trap and trapped me.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: How did they trap you? You were over at his
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: employer's neighborhood. Yeah, I wandered over there. And the next
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: thing you know, I'm back here with the Ornbergs, and
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: they've got all my favorite pâtés and flaked meats and gravy.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: So life really improved a lot. How about that? So
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: you've got to save a human's life. You're a cat.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: No less than saving a human. No less, yeah. Save
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: a human, save your ass.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: That's what I said.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: I heard that. Yeah. I heard that one, baby. So, um,
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: you're 23? Well, you never ask a lady her age,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: but yes, I am. Well, we're very happy and proud
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: to have been, for you to, for me to have been,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: God damn. Just slow down. You're nervous. For you to

  Speaker 2: I'm in a little cat chair here in the back,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: but I was able to get a hold of the
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: cell phone. Baby, my name is Caligula, and I would
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: like to say it's a great pleasure to meet you.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Don't you sound like a fancy dad. Well, you know,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: I've seen my fair share of excitement in my day,
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: but I walk around now with a little collar with
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: a bell on it, and a little girl puts me
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: in a... She puts a bonnet on me. It's... Oh, Christ.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: You know what? My hat, or whatever I wear on
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: my head... Is off to you kinds of cats where
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: the kid puts the bonnet on? No, but you know
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: the trade-off is I have a very easy life, and
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: I eat the rich foods, and I'm probably about 10
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: pounds overweight. I'll probably die of diabetes, but, you know,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: but I am very pleased to make your acquaintance because
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: you are out there in the world making a difference,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: and meanwhile I'm here wearing a sweater.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: And sitting on a sofa so people could come up
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: and go.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: You sound frustrated. It is frustrating. What's frustrating?
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: I was.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: After I did the heroic deed, I was out running around.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: They had to trap me. Well, I understand that, but...
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Don't you feel loved? Yes, I feel loved, but the
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: fact that you did something great, and I've never done
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: anything great. If you spend your whole life wearing a
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: sweater vest and sitting on a bed... and licking a
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: paw and occasionally wiping it on your face. You've done
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: your job as a cat, you know that. And so
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: you have to understand, not all of us can be heroes,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: but you Caligula... His name's Caligula. Yes, Caligula. Okay, you Caligula, you. Yeah, you. Well,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: thank you very much.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: I appreciate that.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: All right, Caligula, thanks for calling.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: It's Caligula, you.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: All right, so that's Caligula, and listen, baby, I know
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: you've got to get going, but... It's been so great
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: talking to you. You know, I enjoy it. Every now
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: and again, I have some guys find me online and
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: call me up. I was on the Gus and Gum show.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: That's the cat talk show in the Rocky.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: Mountains, right?
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very popular. Gus and Gums, two cats. You know,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: they do a food show where they compare chickens and
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: livers and things. And then they also chase a mouse.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: They have a mouse race. Hey, I've heard about that show.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Is any good? It's okay, but they interviewed me. And then,
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: of course, Morris the Cat, the 15th version of him,
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: interviewed me on the big national show. That was back
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: in the day. Oh, so you've done all of them?
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: I've done pretty much all, yeah.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Well, listen, baby, thank you so much for being on

  Speaker 2: Oh, well, isn't that wonderful? The Temptations are good. They

• 18:45
  Speaker 2: dog that I knew that had a house name. This
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: dog was named Francis. This dog is what? This dog
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: named Francis. Yeah, he's got a story. The dog's name

  Speaker 2: is Francis St.
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: Bernard?
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir. That's right. Well, go ahead, Roman. What's it about? Well,
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: this best story, I think it's a great story. What
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: I always did with this dog is I would lie
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: on top of a washing machine like I was asleep.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: And then here's what happened. He'd walk by and I'd
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: jump on his head. And he'd be, you know, all
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: just completely discombobulated by that. And he always walked by.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: They always do that. They never learn from their mistakes,
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: do they?
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: No, they never do. They never do.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Let me have this again then, Roman. That you're laying
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: on top of the washing machine. Yeah. And the dog's
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: always walking by the washing machine but never expects it.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Never expects it, no. And I'm laying there and I
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: look and I see here comes a dog. So I
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: kind of tuck in so he doesn't see my ears
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: or my tail. He comes walking by, just, yeah, right
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: down on top of his head. Man, he takes off
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: running like a, he takes off running like grease light
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: through a white snake's, well, excuse me, I was going
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: to say. That's okay. Yeah. But for me, and every
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: time he does that, I always say to him, why,
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: you know, why do you do that? He says, well,
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: I said, every time I'm on top of that washing machine.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: They never learn.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: They never learn, no.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Okay, Roman, that's pretty good. I like that story. So
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: that's Roman with... That's a story from Roman about the
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: dumb dog. Yeah, the dog's a good place a cat
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: to hide is on a washing machine. Yeah, on a
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: washing machine. I used to do that. What do you
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: tell a story about dumb dogs?
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what about the dumb dogs you've known? Well, I mean,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: I've known some dumb dogs. I used to sit on
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: top of the washing machine and do that. The other
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: thing I used to do with my, well, the dogs
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: that I know is like, but you know what? I
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: talked about this with Smokey where you say to him, hey,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: look at that. It looks like an airplane or something.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: You start eating their food.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I'll catch to that.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Especially cats that live with dogs, yeah. You always fool
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: a dog if you want to have some of its food.
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: The problem is dogs eat that. I don't like the
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: stuff they eat. They eat a lot of stuff that's
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: got too much grains in it, you know? Cats have
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: got to have meat. Always the meat.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, so the next call is here from Josephine on
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: the Catscape show. Okay, let's... Josephine, go ahead.
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: Oh, hello.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Josephine, what do you got for us?
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: Well, this is a story that I have about a dog,
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: two dogs that we lived with at one time, and
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: they were both Welsh Corgis. And we loved, my brother
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: and I, my name is Joseph, and my brother was Blackie.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Is Blackie still with us?
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: He is, but now he's very old. He sits back
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: in a basket someplace in the back of the house.
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: I go back occasionally and talk to him. But when
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: we were younger, we would let these two Welsh Corgis
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: chase us outside.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's a good one. I've done this before.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what I mean?
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: And once they get outside, you turn around and you
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: run back in, and.
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: You kick the door shut.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's a great... You put the dogs outside, huh?
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: You put them outside, so they don't know what happened.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: And, well, Blackie, I'm talking about you, Blackie. You just
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: got up from business. I'm talking about you. By the
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: time we chase down the... I'm talking on the Cascades Hill. Hey,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: how are you guys doing? Hey, is this Blackie? Yeah. Hey, Blackie,
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: I was just talking to your sister, Josephine. She says
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: you used to let the Welsh Corgis... Yeah, yeah, that dumbass.
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: You go on back to sleep. So we let the
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: Welsh Corgis chase us, and then we closed the door
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: on them. They spent all night out there. And the owner,
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: you know, the human in the house said, what happened
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: to those dogs? And I'd say, I don't know. You know,
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: I'd look real dumb, like we can do.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great one. So the dogs, you chase
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: the dogs outside, then you run back inside. Yeah, Blackie said... Oh,
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: he'd kick the door. You just got to bump the
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: door with your body because you can't do it.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: You don't got no hands, you know.
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: We don't have no hands. We're cats.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Well, neither do dogs, either. You got to remember that one.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Neither do dogs.
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. He said neither do dogs.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: Oh, no shit.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's great. So there you have Josephine.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: That's her brother, Blackie, talking about chasing the dog. Let
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: the dog chase you outside, and then you turn around
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: and go back inside.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: And the dogs are outside.
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: All right, there's our last story now.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: This one's from Whiskers, and Whiskers is up in Manitoba,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: up there in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Hey, how you doing, Whiskers? What's going on? Welcome to Catscapes. Yeah,
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: I've got a story here about a cat that, when
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: they're sleeping, is this the Catscapes show? Yeah, it's Catscapes.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: So, this is the story.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: Where are you from originally, Whiskers?
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: I come from Canada originally, but to my honest, they're
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: all German. So I just pick up... Oh, so you
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: picked up their accent, huh? Yeah. But, so anyway, where
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: was I? You talk about the dog when they're sleeping?
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: So do I tell the story now? Yeah, go ahead.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: So the dog is sleeping, and when he sleeps, you
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: can jump on their head and then run away, you know?
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: So they are, like, sleeping. Then you come up and go, whee!
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: And you leap on the dog, and then you run.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Just like that. And the dog wakes up, doesn't know
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: what hit him, huh? The dog doesn't know what hit him, yeah.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: It's a lot of fun. Yeah, I've done that before.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Dogs will go, oh, then they know like you're playing,
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: and then they want to play with you. Yeah, well,
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: the only problem is you have to stick around and
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: play with them then. And dogs are okay, but they're
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: not the greatest... in the world when it comes to playing, because,
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: you know, cats, we move. We move like the.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: Wind, you know?
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Well, we're pretty fast, there's no question. Dogs never going
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: to chase us down or nothing like that.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: No, no, unless we get pinned in, you know, by something. But, yeah,
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: that is a lot of fun. Okay, well, listen, thanks
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: so much, Whiskers. Do I win the prize, or do I... No,
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: we're going to figure that out, and then we'll give
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: you a call, okay?
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: You want my number?
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: Didn't we get it off the air? It's 22... All right,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: but get his number there.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: What's your number?
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: So, although, dude, just pretend like you're getting his number
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: because you don't win. Okay, you don't. But don't tell
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: him that. Don't tell him that, kid.
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: What's your number?
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Anyway, what do you think, Smokey? Well, I mean, I
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: think the cats that ran outside and kicked the door back. Yeah,
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: the cats that ran outside had the dogs chase them.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: And that was Josephine and Blackie, huh? Yeah, yeah, right there.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Josephine and Blackie.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know him.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Get off the phone with him, okay? What are you doing?
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: I just want to know what's going on.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: He don't have to know what's going on. Was that
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: that Whiskers? What's with this Whiskers with the German... Hey. Well,
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: the guy is in Canada.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: So it doesn't mean you've got to sound like you're German. So, anyway,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: the winner is Josephine and her brother Blackie. They would
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: run outside, make the dog chase them outside, and the
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: next thing you know, they're, you know, outside. Yeah, they're outside,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: but the dog's outside. They go back in.

  Speaker 4: Huh?
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: Were you listening?
