Sitting back on my haunches, looking at the list, I was rather impressed with the sophistication of the typing (I’d figured out capital letters with the help of the “caps lock” key); it was also dangerously brave, a list that would push me out of my comfort zone. Sure, I could have added more – a note about music or dancing or extreme sports. I could’ve written a never-ending list, because weren’t there so many things? How could one possibly choose between the splendour of a midnight countdown, with party poppers (very tempting), and the humanness of baking a cake?

But we only had so much time.

Five things seemed good enough.

“A cheese sandwich?” Olive said, cross-legged in her striped pyjamas. “I think we can give you a bite of one, but aren’t cats lactose intolerant?”

I wasn’t familiar with the word “lactose”, so I shrugged this off with a shiver of my fur.

Olive cocked her head. “The dinner party thing we can do. How many guests do you want, though? Because I don’t really know anyone here, besides Norma and Q. It would have to be small.”

Small is good, I typed at the bottom of the list. Thank you thank you.

“Welcome, welcome,” Olive said, scratching just behind my ear. She was smiling in this peculiar way. “I still can’t really believe this – any of it. I don’t think that anything this extraordinary will ever happen to me again.”

Probably not, I typed.

And for some reason, she laughed.
