Kat: Miaow!
Hails: Good morning, Kat.
Kat: Miaow!
Hails: Are you hungry?
Kat: Miaow!
Hails: I’m getting up in a minute.
Kat: Miaow!

Hails: Right! Right! I’m up, are you happy, now, are you?
Kat: Miaow!
Hails: Let’s go then. (stomping angrily down the stairs) What would you like? Bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon? Hmm?
Kat: Miaow! Miiiiiiiaaaaaaaowwwwww!
