June 9. “Button, have you seen how MoJo welcomes her immediate family members back home?”

“Not really. How?”

“Have you seen the pink ball she plays with often? It’s one of her favourite possessions.”

“I’ve seen the ball.”

“Whenever she hears one of us enter the house—no matter where she is—she runs, fetches the ball and comes and offers it to us.”

“What happens when she’s sleeping?”

“She does exactly the same thing after waking up in a fraction of a second. They hear much before we do. In fact, they realize we’ve arrived from hearing the sound of the vehicle: They are that much more sensitive. In fact cats have a more acute hearing sense.”

“MoJo’s really cute.”

“I agree one hundred percent.”
