That is the most darling cat picture! I like it a lot!

Mew!
[giggles]
Mew!

Does Mew know other words? Would Mew like some milk?

[Mew shrugs, and decides that the best way to approach this subject would be to speak telepathically]

}Actually, I can absorb energy from ... { [insert incomprehensible telepathic image here] } ... from ... { [very similar incomprehensible image] } ... oh dear ... it seems as though your mind isn't adapted to mine. Not surprising, actually, since we're both from completely different species.{

}As for the other question, this must answer it. The reason I only -- verbally -- say my species name is because ... because ... I'm a ...{

[Mew uses his extremely long tail to make the word "embarrassed" in cursive, figures out Princess's mental matrix, and telepathically puts a picture of the words "Afraid to answer because it might ruin your opinion of me" into her mind]

I see. Well,
*telepathically* It is very nice to meet you. I hope that all is going well with you!

[Mew nods and flies off to find someone's alarm clock to shut off]

You ~are~ a cat, then?

}Am a Mew.{

Ah, I see. A Mew. I'm sorry if I offended you by calling you a cat.
If you're friendly you might like to meet Greebo T. Cat.. She's a cat and ~grins~ a lot.

¦M¦

}I already met Greebo and let her see the Rainbow Cloud. You can go, too; it's on the only page I made.{

Oh, I'm glad you get on... So many Mews and Cats I know don't.
I will, I'll just go over now...

¦M¦

}I seriously doubt that any other Mew than I has let many species of sentient being see more than his or her shadow for as long as it takes for the nerve impulses to get from the eye to the brain, let alone have a conversation.{

}Don't you ever hear anything about Pokémon?{

*confused*

[not confused]



}See, what I wasn't sure I wanted to confess to Princess Bride was that, being a Mew, I am a Pokémon, which might ruin her opinion of me and anything related to me. I am the only Mew I am aware of who has deliberately let himself be seen by a human for the length of time it takes to comprehend this. Well, maybe their shadows.{

}And that is why, Ming, it is impossible for you to know the relationships between any cat and any Mew.{

I knew you were a Pokemon but I don't know anything about pokemons so it was okay that i knew. my estimation of you is still high and i admire your courage to expose yourself to us humans. perhaps you could fill me in on some pokemon information?

}Sure! Mew and something whose Japanese name is Serebii are the rarest types of Pokémon in existence. Also, when the Gold and Silver versions of the gameboy game come out in America on 16SeptY2K, Psychic types won't be pretty much unchallenged, Type-wise. Er, look, go to http://www.pokemon.com/ and http://www.azureheights.com/ for better details.{

Oh. *not quite so confused*
*nods and pretends to understand*
No, I don't know anything about Pokemon. According to my sister that's just as well.

¦M¦

}It's a matter of opinion.{



|M|ew!
