Default Aunti Mabel's sweet 16 birthday bash!

Amelia T Cat wrote in rec.pets.cats.community:

She looks about and sees Clarence dancing with Amelia. Grinning,
she cuts in. As they swirl off Amelia laughs. Aunti Mabel is
going a perfect Queen beat at the front end, but her back end seems
to be listening to Ray Charles and a deep slow soul beat. Somehow
they match in a way that is uniquely 'Miss Aunti Mabel'.


[Amelia whispers quietly to Aunt Mabel so that nobody else can hear]

Mabel do you think it would be appropriate for some no-foots to join
the two-foots and four-foots? I suspect that the ghosts living here
might be interested in participating.

Aunti Mabel whispers back as she's getting lovified by 2 kittahs who
went over the rainbow when she was a puppy. "sure, got an elderly
genteel one? I wanna dance! I'z a bit slow but I bets there's one who
wants to play wif me!"

Meantime a small himalayan who is not totally corporeal sniffs under
the curtin and tries to drag out a kittah. He's missing an eye and
makes Gruf and Clarence lok like pampered sorts.

Daisy-chan is dancing but as soon a foot is dragged out she stops.
Blushing she apologizes to her dance mate but it is obvious she is
watching the curtin and the foot...

At one time she was wild. At one time he seemed to be lost in the
wild. He was one handsome man-kittah just right for her but he passed
over the bridge.

Daisy-chan walks sedately to the edge and asks him for a dance. He
agrees and Orion and Daisy-chan finally get their dance. Swirling
about, there is no time but the soft patter of their feet and their
nails tapping the floor in time, paw by paw.

Daisy-chan purrs and silently morns that he passed over the rainbow but
loves that she got a chance to dance at last with him. It is very
possible she will never 'wink' as Orion was was who she loved though it
was from a distance, never a dance.

Orion slides to the side of Daisy-chan trusting her totally with his
blind side and rubs a cheek with a purr of promise then with a stern
look reminds her that he will be there, but to look to the living.
Daisy-chan starts to cry but Orion steps back with a stern glance and
hands her a hanky. "Now is the time for living and love and laughter
and not wasting it. Now stop waiting for me as i am on the other side.
Step out little lady and make us all proud as you always have."

With a long sniff and a lot of hanky blowing but finally a lovely grin
of fairwell, she sees Orion dance back behind the curtin. She dips her
head for a bit then remembers, THAT IS NOT WHAT HE WANTED.

She takes a few deep breaths then with a grin, comes back. If the grin
feels a bit thin for a bit, that doesn't last as it grows. It is time
to love and laugh. She flips her tail and jumps out on the dance floor
again.
