AILUROPHILE ENTERPRISES "The Purrfect Communications Company" INTERNAL MEMO To: All Ailurophile Enterprises Staff From: Management We regret to inform you that our newest staff member, Sophie Catt, is on leave of absence, undergoing treatment at the Kitty Ford Clinic for decapoda addiction. In other words, Ms. Catt is a shrimp junkie. This was first noticed by the sole human member of the Ailurophile Enterprises staff when he was on a lunch break in the kitchen a floor below the firm’s home office. He opened a container of cooked shrimp, and from all that distance, down the stairs a little black thunderbolt shot into the kitchen and circled his legs, meowing desperately for shrimp. He knew Sophie Catt is somewhat overweight, but her pleas melted him and he chopped up a single shrimp and placed the bits on a cat plate, hoping this would slow down her demands. In seconds she was back for more, and grudgingly received it. The human employee used the temporary lull to bolt into another room and shut the door, but her howls of frustration impaired the enjoyment of his meal, and his digestion. This pattern repeated itself over several lunch hours. A management meeting was called, and after medical consultation, Sophie Catt is now on a shrimp withdrawal program. If it does not work, the human says he will change his lunch menus. It is a selfless gesture, but not unexpected in a society where cats rule.
