    Natasha just nailed it. Time for Sophie to paint the scariest image of her life.

    In this corner……hailing from the depths of your own despair, where all your nightmares go for their summer holidays…..The one that scares even the things that go bump in the night. The one. The only…. THE EXISTENTIAL DREAD !

    Exactly, this is what conceptual art is! It’s not what you are or what you do, it’s what your audience perceives! She will know about this from her many abstract installations.

    OK, Sophie, start with

    “If there were no eternal consciousness in a cat, if at the bottom of everything there were only a wild ferment, a power that twisting in dark passions produced everything great or inconsequential; if an unfathomable, insatiable emptiness lay hid beneath everything, what would life be but despair?”

    And when they have absorbed that, follow up with

    “What is meant here by saying that existence precedes essence? It means first of all, cat exists, turns up, appears on the scene, and, only afterwards, defines himself. If cat, as the existentialist conceives her, is indefinable, it is because at first she is nothing. Only afterward will she be something, and she herself will have made what she will be.”

    And then

    “Dasein is a being that does not simply occur among other beings. Rather it is ontically distinguished by the fact that in its being this being is concerned about its very being. Thus it is constitutive of the being of Dasein to have, in its very being, a relation of being to this being. “

    That should finish them off.

    Stevie Nicks: Rhiannon

    Sophie waits with her friends in the night

    She knows that we all love her

    Chitter, Chatter, and Jules in flight

    Outside we know they hover

    All her life she’s never seen

    How much she’s needed them

    Can she help with Gutter’s rescue now?

    Are they gonna win?

    Are they gonna win?

    Go Sophie!

    Yay Sophie!

    …….

    Sophie is a cat in the dark

    Natasha in the darkness

    Giving Soph encouragement

    Creating on blank canvas

    All her life she’s never seen

    How much she has to offer

    Can she help with Gutter’s rescue now?

    Are they gonna win?

    Are they gonna win?

    Go Sophie!

    Yay Sophie!

    Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

    At the Happy Healthy Hospital Pyramid Auditorium

    Pink Lupinium: Welcome, kitties, to Vacation Scroll School. We’re going to learn all about how Cat loves us. And have lots of fun as well.

    Iggy: First of all, we’re going to pretend sail on the Good Ship Treasure. I’m Captain Iggy, and this is my good friend Captain Elvis.

    Elvis: Hello, kitties! First we’ll get in line and march on board the ship. Ready? Hup two, three four….

    Kitten Isis: Are we really gonna sail on the Nile.

    Iggy: Well, yes and no. The ship is on the Nile, but we’re going to stay anchored. But we’ll still learn a lot about sailing. And how Cat takes care of us.

    Sometime Later

    Elvis: Great job doing the Sailor Dance. Now let’s all head back to the Auditorium for songs and games with Pink Lupinium.

    To all my Orb Friends of all faiths or no faiths: Cat bless you all, sending all the best.

    Dear Sophie, you’ve already shown us all that “pretend” is your hidden super power. An Oscar-worthy theatrical performance is exactly what’s needed here. Time to instill some EXISTENTIAL DREAD into Those Tidy People’s complacent lives!

    Can someone give me the dates of the Existential Dread wrestling story. I think it might have been after they moved in to the BPH? (Which was January 2023, I believe). But maybe I’m remembering wrong (not out of the question!).
