agreed to be a vocalist.]

Hercule: Mme. Pi2nya, would you mind terribly providing the beat with
your rocks? A nice, steady beat, if you please.

[Pi2nya starts click-click-clinking her bag of rocks. Hercule directs
the kitties in some simple songs. Pi2nya improvises some very
elaborate sequences while also maintaining the beat. The woodwinds
and brass start out a little bit discordant, but quickly get in sync.
The keyboards and strings quickly follow suit. ]

Hercule: Very nice, kitties. I would say zat you all are ready to
perform!

Luko listens then joins in with his tamborine with no chimes, used like
a drum and in low simple beat keeps pace with the rocks. He's doing a
beat like the song 'My kinda lovah' but not so loud as to drown out any
others. Mona meantime, tries to match her raspy purr with Milton.
She's careful to be a little less loud in case it's not wanted.
