“The only things one never regrets are one’s mistakes.” -Oscar Wilde
———————-Alt Text———————-
Knox, Rodrigo, Jo, Val, and Audri were running away, when Knox looked back and saw Purrloin sitting and cleaning himself in the middle of the road as the trucks quickly approach. Knox ran back and swooped up Purrloin, and ran away with Purrloin under his arm. As Purrloin began purring, Knox said, “I’d say that i’m going to come to regret this, except that I already do.”

D’aw. He’s a sweetheart.
Seriously! None of my cats, even the most placid one we ever had, would have taken being scooped up like that and purred. What a good kitty!
Purrloin will thank him later.
Now they think he wants to eat the cat.
Awesome.
A literal “save the cat” moment!
Now, see, Rodrigo might not have *looked* surprised, but he’s in the front of the pack. He was ready to go if he had to. This will help him if and when he ends up in space, which means if only one of them ends up in space, it’s going to be Knox. ????
That’s one mellow cat. Try scooping up a regulation cat and things get… interesting. Best to have bandages, disinfectant, etc. handy.
That was a test. Knoxy has proven that he cares even though he has a gruff exterior. He also has made a friend for life whether he wants one or not. I bet Purrloin will let him know soon enough. 🙂
Assumptions – the vigilantes intercepted the radio transmission, which included a phone number, and possibly an address, but not the phone call, so once they lose the vigilantes, they can go to the meeting.
Possible twist – the vigilantes find them, they all leave on spaceship.
We must have a pretty mellow cat compared to those mentioned in the comments. Like Purrloin, he would be purring as well. He loves to hike with me in our woods and loves to play hard – the harder you play the more he purrs. When he has had enough he walks away. More like a dog than a cat.
I love impromptu chase scenes. They can solidify opinions the same time they open new possibilities. Of escape, capture, misdirection, injury, the scattering of protagonists, the revelation of new peril. By the same token they can put the former plot into a Mixmaster and reduce it to bits needing reassembly, and possibly new parts. Everything is up in the air… or shortly will be here, as we’ve been told.
Yes the obligatory animal joins the crew!
My male cats would have let you pick them up, even be put up on a shoulder for a while. The female will tolerate picking up only about as long as it takes you to set her down somewhere else.
Male cats are attention whores.
