ClubFloyd Transcript:
New Cat by Poster
As played on ifMUD on March 11 and 18, 2018

The idea behind ClubFloyd is that each week at a pre-arranged time, a group of people meet online to cooperatively play a game of interactive fiction.

Below is a transcript of New Cat written by Poster. You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting IFDB.


WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing this game, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played this game, and think you might like to at some point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead, you might want to return to the interactive fiction page.

Floyd | I do not have a name, but I think that someday soon I will. I have
Floyd | heard Him talk many times of other things that have names, things like
Floyd | Mom, Dad, Emily, Stuart, God. So I think I will have a name someday
Floyd | soon, although I do not know how I get a name. Is it something I have
Floyd | to do? Is there somewhere I have to go? All I know is that for now, He
Floyd | calls me just one thing: Cat.

Floyd | Soft Place
Floyd | You live in a nice soft place inside a bigger space that has three
Floyd | ows, and one moveable ow. You call these things ows because they hurt
Floyd | when you run into them, and the moving ow (mow) only He can move. The
Floyd | soft place is where you sleep and it smells like you. Outside the soft
Floyd | space is where He puts the food and water. The food is ok, but the
Floyd | milk you used to have was much better. You wonder if He could get some
Floyd | of that again.
Floyd |
Floyd | He always shuts the mow, but today he has left it open. You do not
Floyd | know what is beyond it, except what you have heard him talk about.
Floyd | There is another thing called GoodCat/BadCat. It must have another
Floyd | name as well, because it was here when you got here, but it is far
Floyd | away and when He talks to it, you can only hear GoodCat or BadCat. You
Floyd | must be related, because you both are called Cat.
Floyd |
Floyd | You have always wondered where He goes when He closes the mow and what
Floyd | lies beyond it. "Could there be even more mows and ows? Could my place
Floyd | be just one place inside a much bigger place? I want to find out.
Floyd | Maybe if I find out, I can get a name," you think.

Iria has had her fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge.
Plover arrives, full of fun and funk.
Guenni says (to Floyd), "x me"
Floyd | You look at yourself and see your black fur from head to toe. You feel
Floyd | that your tail is a little long for you, but you haven't seen many
Floyd | other cats. Maybe that is normal. You are small, but you know you will
Floyd | get bigger someday, and someday you will have a name.
Floyd | >
DavidW says (to Floyd), "about"
Floyd | New Cat is a game of interactive fiction, where you are the new cat in
Floyd | the household. Explore your world by using relative directions
Floyd | (forward, back, left, and right). Use jump to to jump to things higher
Floyd | or lower than you are. Make sure that the game window is wide enough
Floyd | to display Score and Turns on the right side. For more information
Floyd | about the game, and how to play interactive fiction games in general,
Floyd | type HELP. For hints, type HINTS. Enjoy!

Plover asks, "What game are we playing?"
DavidW says, "huh. relative directions."
Jacqueline says (to Plover), "A New Cat"
Guenni says (to Floyd), "out"
Floyd |
Floyd | Your Place
Floyd | Your Place surrounds the soft place. It's much bigger and it is soft
Floyd | on your feet, but not as soft as the soft place. You can run around
Floyd | here but the three ows stop you. Nothing has changed from this morning
Floyd | when He left -- the food dish, the water bowl, the sandbox, and the
Floyd | ledge are in their same places and they smell the same. The most
Floyd | interesting thing, though, is the mow. It's wide open in front of you
Floyd | and smells from outside are rushing in.
Floyd |

Jacqueline says, "You can type WHO FLOYD to see what we're playing, by the way."
Guenni says (to Floyd), "f"
Floyd |
Floyd | New Hall
Floyd | This is a strange place. It's long, like maybe if your place were
Floyd | stretched out to your right and to your left taller than He is. The
Floyd | scents that invaded your place came from here, or at least some of
Floyd | them did. The ows are dabbed with white that doesn't go with the rest
Floyd | of the ow and they smell new somehow. The floor is soft like it is in
Floyd | your place but it smells wild -- images sweep over you of Him, others
Floyd | like Him, a world filled with flying things and grass, clean scents
Floyd | and many others that you've never smelled before. Faintly, you also
Floyd | detect a sweet yet salty wild smell that can only be Goodcat/Badcat.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
DavidW says, "I'm going to guess that an 'ow' is simply a wall, and 'mow' is obviously a door."
Jacqueline says, "Oh, huh. I did not do sleepmask, so we do not see our score. I wonder if that actually matters."
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "score"
Floyd | You have so far scored 0 out of a possible 20, in 4 turns.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Jacqueline says, "Enh. We can ask the game, so I'm not going to worry about it."
DavidW says (to Floyd), "smell floor"
Floyd | It smells wild -- images sweep over you of Him, others like Him, a
Floyd | world filled with flying things and grass, clean scents and many
Floyd | others that you've never smelled before. Faintly, you also detect a

Jacqueline says, "Hm. Well, this game is trying to do a couple of interesting things. So there's that."
Guenni says (to Floyd), "f"
Floyd | You can go to your right and to your left down the hall, and behind
Floyd | you back to your place.

Floyd |
Floyd | Midway Hall
Floyd | You are halfway down the hall, up to a good speed when you see
Floyd | something that compels you to stop and look. Here two mows face each
Floyd | other -- one that is not completely solid and one that doesn't reach
Floyd | the floor. The non-solid mow has slats from the top to the bottom,
Floyd | like what is on the window in your place. It has a wonderful fresh
Floyd | smell that makes you want to lie down and go to sleep, if only there
Floyd | were something soft enough to sleep on.  Mmrrow. You can't help
Floyd | yourself and rub lazily against it. It feels good. The solid mow on
Floyd | the opposite side greets you with a welcoming and familiar scent from
Floyd | between it and the floor. You would know it anywhere -- it is Him. He
Floyd | is not here, but beyond is surely His lair.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Guenni says (to Floyd), "push moo"
Floyd | You don't see any such thing here.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Guenni says (to Floyd), "push mow"
Floyd | What do you want to push: the solid mow or the slatted mow?
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Guenni says (to Floyd), "slatted"
Floyd | It's much too large and heavy for you to move it.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Guenni says (to Floyd), "x slatted"
Floyd | It is a mow, but you're not sure how He moves it, because there is no
Floyd | blob of metal halfway up. It's not solid, like other mows are, and you
Floyd | can see fluffy colored things beyond; an almost-dizzying sleepy fresh
Floyd | smell comes from beyond it.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
DavidW says (to Floyd), "smell slatted"
Floyd | The sleepy fresh smell comes from beyond the mow. It's so good that it
Floyd | almost makes you dizzy.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Plover takes a sip of coffee.
Jacqueline asks, "So mows are doors?"
Guenni says (to Floyd), "r"
Floyd | You can go behind you back to New Hall and in front of you to the end
Floyd | of the hall.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
DavidW says, "yes"
Guenni says, "Some exit mentions in the text wouldn't be a miss."
Guenni says (to Floyd), "f"
Floyd | You are up to a good speed before you notice the ow coming at you. You
Floyd | come to a butt-burning halt. Youch!
Floyd |
Floyd | End Hall
Floyd | The long room ends here at an ow with one room on either side. The one
Floyd | to your right has sun filtering in through slats that make you want to
Floyd | rest in its warm spaces and play with the shadows. The room to your
Floyd | left is dark and presents several different smells relating to water.
Floyd | The ows seem really tall here and you feel fenced in and nervous.
Floyd |

Plover asks, "the driver?"
Jacqueline says, "No specific driver right now, Plover."
Guenni says (to Floyd), "r"
Floyd |
Floyd | Sun Room
Floyd | The air is warm here, and light spills in across the room from the
Floyd | window on the far side of the room. Shadows and light play across the
Floyd | floor in hypnotizing patterns, threatening to lull you to sleep.
Floyd | Scattered across the room are brown boxes, arranged in no particular
Floyd | order, some of which are very tall. You get the feeling that the boxes
Floyd | were just moved here and that the room wasn't built too long ago: the
Floyd | whole place smells new.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can see a short box, a tall box and a towering box here.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Jacqueline says, "BOXES"
Guenni says (to Floyd), "x short"
Floyd | This is shortest box. It is held closed by a brown stripe, and you can
Floyd | easily jump up to it from the floor.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Jacqueline says, "We are a cat. We probably love boxes."
DavidW says, "I want to get on top of the towering box."
Jacqueline says, "Yes, let's."
Guenni says (to Floyd), "jump on short"
Floyd | You leap up to the box and then look around, surveying your new
Floyd | surroundings.
Floyd |

Plover says (to Floyd), "x me"
Floyd | You look at yourself and see your black fur from head to toe. You feel
Floyd | that your tail is a little long for you, but you haven't seen many

Floyd | get bigger someday, and someday you will have a name.

Jacqueline says, "Let's channel our inner Maru."
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x tall box"
Floyd | You're too far away from it. Maybe if you were on it, you could do
Floyd | that.

DavidW says (to Floyd), "x tall box"
Floyd | This is the second-tallest box. It is held closed by a green stripe.
Floyd |

DavidW says (to Floyd), "open tall"
Floyd | You're not sure how. The box is held together with a stripe that keeps
Floyd | it shut everywhere.

Jacqueline says, "They recently tested how high Maru can jump... [LINK]"
DavidW says (to Floyd), "pull stripe"
Floyd | What do you want to pull: brown stripe or green stripe?

Floyd | Sun Room (on the tall box)
Floyd | The air is warm here, and light spills in across the room from the
Floyd | window on the far side of the room. Shadows and light play across the
Floyd | floor in hypnotizing patterns, threatening to lull you to sleep.
Floyd | Scattered across the room are brown boxes, arranged in no particular
Floyd | order, some of which are very tall. You get the feeling that the boxes
Floyd | were just moved here and that the room wasn't built too long ago: the
Floyd | whole place smells new.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can see a short box and a towering box here.
Floyd |

DavidW says, "I guess L is short for LEFT, not LOOK."
Jacqueline says, "Yeah"
Jacqueline says, "That is one downside to the relative directions thing, I guess."
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "jump on short"
Floyd | You move your head up and down a few times, judging the distance, and
Floyd | then decide to go for it. You feel a few moments of glorious
Floyd | weightlessness and then you settle on the box with a gentle "thump".
Floyd |

Guenni nods.

Guenni says (to Floyd), "scratch brown stripe"

Jacqueline says, "By all means, play with the boxes."

Floyd |
Floyd | Bathroom
Floyd | This room is darker than the others, and a whole plethora of scents
Floyd | rush out to find you. You take a moment perched on the threshold to
Floyd | decipher what they all mean. The first smell smells like He does
Floyd | sometimes -- like growing things, like the outside. It's too strong
Floyd | for you and it causes your nose to wrinkle involuntarily. The next
Floyd | strongest smell is a fresh, clean smell that must be some kind of
Floyd | water. You know by the third smell that this is His place, because He
Floyd | has marked it. Mixed in with that territorial odor are lesser notes
Floyd | that smell like all sorts of yummy things. You're so glad he marked
Floyd | the area so you'd know where they are! It's odd, though. You look
Floyd | around but don't see a litterbox anywhere.
Floyd |
Floyd | Instead, off to the right you see what looks like a very long water
Floyd | bowl. It has sides so you can jump up on it and take look inside. It
Floyd | smells like that water smell. Opposite it is a fat water bowl, where
Floyd | the territorial smell and the yummy smells come from. You could jump
Floyd | up on it, too. Right beside you are wooden boxes, and on top of them
Floyd | is a tall dark window.
Floyd |
Floyd |  Wait! There's something in the window. Your hackles rise and your fur
Floyd | poofs out. It's another cat, the same size as you!

Guenni smiles about the "window".
Guenni says (to Floyd), "jump on long bowl"
Floyd | You don't see any such thing here.

DavidW says (to Floyd), "hiss"
Floyd | You let out a bloodcurdling meow of warning, but she doesn't respond.

DavidW says, "yeah, that "window" is a mirror."
Guenni says (to Floyd), "look"
Floyd | Bathroom
Floyd | The hallway light provides the only light in this dark room. Your eyes
Floyd | adjust and your nose comes alive with the many different scents
Floyd | inside. The first smell smells like He does sometimes -- like growing
Floyd | things, like the outside. It's too strong for you and it causes your
Floyd | nose to wrinkle involuntarily. The next strongest smell is a fresh,
Floyd | clean smell that must be some kind of water. You know by the third

Floyd |  The other cat mimics your motions, her eyes fixed on you. You'll have
Floyd | to respond to her challenge somehow.

DavidW says (to Floyd), "jump on toilet"
Floyd | (the toilet)
Floyd | With feline agility, you leap up to the deep water bowl.
Floyd |
Floyd | Toilet Rim
Floyd | You are halfway between the dark window and the floor, perched on the
Floyd | fat water bowl. It's not soft, but it is fairly slick. The wonderful
Floyd | smells rise up from the hollow center, down in the water. You see
Floyd | above you a wide ledge that runs underneath the window. You could
Floyd | easily jump to it, or jump down to the bathroom floor.
Floyd |
Floyd | The house settles and creaks, giving you a start.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
DavidW says (to Floyd), "jump on ledge"
Floyd | With amazing grace, you land on the space above the handles with a
Floyd | solid "whump".
Floyd |
Floyd | Bathroom Counter
Floyd | You barely notice the rest of the surface except for the sink, which
Floyd | smells like his breath and some sort of plant. The dark window takes
Floyd | up the entire wall and inside there is another cat! Her fur is poofed
Floyd | out just like yours and her green eyes stare back at you in challenge.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
DavidW says (to Floyd), "hit cat"
Floyd | You can't quite reach her. She seems to be on the other side of the
Floyd | window. She can't quite reach you, either.
Floyd |
Floyd | The house settles and creaks, giving you a start.
Floyd |
Floyd | You hear a faint ring coming from somewhere from somewhere far away.
Floyd |

DavidW says (to Floyd), "meow"
Floyd | You warn her off, but she doesn't reply. She must be unable to speak.
Floyd |

DavidW says (to Floyd), "smell cat"
Floyd | You lean your nose in to smell her and she does the exact same thing.
Floyd | Then you realize what seemed so strange about all of this: you never
Floyd | once smelled her. How can she have no scent and no voice? What sort of
Floyd | cat is that? You realize, too, that she only does what you do. If you
Floyd | stop, she stops; if you groom yourself, she grooms herself; if you
Floyd | blink, she blinks. She does whatever you do because she is you,
Floyd | somehow. Only not you and only in the dark window. It's weird, but
Floyd | you're glad you're not a human and have to deal with such
Floyd | complexities.
Floyd |
Floyd | You hear a faint ring coming from elsewhere.
Floyd |

Guenni says (to Floyd), "jump down"
Floyd | You raise and lower your head a few times, estimating the distance. On

Floyd |
Floyd | Bathroom
Floyd | The hallway light provides the only light in this dark room. Your eyes
Floyd | adjust and your nose comes alive with the many different scents
Floyd | inside. The first smell smells like He does sometimes -- like growing
Floyd | things, like the outside. It's too strong for you and it causes your
Floyd | nose to wrinkle involuntarily. The next strongest smell is a fresh,
Floyd | clean smell that must be some kind of water. You know by the third
Floyd | smell that this is His place, because He has marked it. Mixed in with
Floyd | that territorial odor are lesser notes that smell like all sorts of
Floyd | yummy things. You're so glad he marked the area so you'd know where
Floyd | they are! It's odd, though. You look around but don't see a litterbox
Floyd | anywhere.
Floyd |
Floyd | Instead, off to the right you see what looks like a very long water
Floyd | bowl. It has sides so you can jump up on it and take look inside. It
Floyd | smells like that water smell. Opposite it is a fat water bowl, where
Floyd | the territorial smell and the yummy smells come from. You could jump
Floyd | up on it, too. Right beside you are wooden boxes, and on top of them
Floyd | is a tall dark window.

Floyd |
Floyd | Tub Edge
Floyd | You are perched uncomfortably on the narrow ledge around the  tub. The

Floyd | Inside Tub
Floyd | You walk around inside the tub and notice, strangely, that this place
Floyd | smells like His paws. Does He stand up in it? It looks long enough for
Floyd | him to lie down in it. The water smell saturates the area, and you
Floyd | know that this place must usually be wet. Right now it is only damp.

Floyd | Edge of Kitchen
Floyd | Just to your right, the shiny and slippery floor begins and the large

Floyd | Kitchen
Floyd | Here enormous metal boxes reach upward from a shiny floor that you can
Floyd | skid across if you run fast enough and suddenly stop. The tallest box
Floyd | is cold, vibrates, and smells like food! The shorter boxes also smell
Floyd | like food, but not as strongly. The whole area smells like trees -- a
Floyd | fresh, outdoors kind of scent, which doesn't make sense, because this
Floyd | is indoors. Goodcat/Badcat is in this room; his scent is strong. You
Floyd | whip your head around but don't see him anywhere. Is he waiting to
Floyd | pounce you? You continue looking around carefully.
Floyd |
Floyd | Halfway to the ceiling (it seems) a shiny surface ledge runs like a
Floyd | pathway, over a shorter box and connects to the tallest one. It's
Floyd | wider than the ledge in your place. In the middle of the floor is a
Floyd | large brown circle held up by four legs. Underneath it are two smaller
Floyd | versions, with one pulled away from the other. You wind your way
Floyd | around these things and quickly smell what their names are. The large
Floyd | thing is called a table. The smaller things are called chairs (one is
Floyd | His and the other is guest). The names seem strong, but dull. You hope
Floyd | He doesn't name you any of those names.

Floyd |
Floyd | Brown Table
Floyd | This is a small place, a little bit larger than the soft place but not
Floyd | as large as the place around it. If you ran around here, you'd
Floyd | definitely fall off the edges. The floor feels like a bunch of string,
Floyd | tightly wound together and it is arranged in colors and in patterns of
Floyd | things you don't recognize. From here, you can see a shiny surface you
Floyd | could easily jump to, and you can view most of the room and the next
Floyd | room over, which pulls your kittenish heart with what looks like large
Floyd | and soft beds. Taking a quick sniff, you realize that this area is
Floyd | used for eating food, but there is no food here now. You also realize
Floyd | the names of the two objects on the table, and your interest is
Floyd | piqued.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can see a phone and a remote here.
Floyd |

DavidW says (to Floyd), "x phone"
Floyd | A curvy thing on a square thing that He uses for talking to people
Floyd | when they are not here. You're not sure how that works, but you know
Floyd | by sniffing it that that's what He does. Goodcat/Badcat says that it
Floyd | can be annoyingly loud.
Floyd | >
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x remote"
Floyd | A black bar about half as long as you are, filled with a lot of
Floyd | buttons. It's obviously made for hands like His as the buttons are too
Floyd | small for you to push individually.
Floyd |

DavidW says (to Floyd), "push remote"

Plover says, "I’ll be in the lounge if anyone wants me, but I will disconect, so there’s no use in talking o me. Should be back online at around 10:00"
Plover disappears through an invisible gap in the MUD. You think you may have heard the sounds of chatting before the gap closed again. DavidW says, "I suppose this phone was ringing earlier."
DavidW says, "Perhaps if it rings again we can answer it."
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x fridge"
Floyd | Brr! It's cold, but it smells like all kinds of yummy things. He calls
Floyd | this "fridge". Goodcat/Badcat agrees with your assessment, so you
Floyd | naturally rub against it to add your opinion officially to his.
Floyd |
Floyd | The phone right next to you suddenly starts Ringing VeRy LOUDLY. You
Floyd | almost involuntarily leap off the table in surprise.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
DavidW says (to Floyd), "touch phone"
Floyd | You brush your whiskers by it, but nothing amazing happens.
Floyd |
Floyd | The phone rings right beside you. It's loud!
Floyd |
Floyd | >
DavidW says (to Floyd), "hit phone"
Floyd | You attack the phone, trying to Make The Ringing Stop. You smack the
Floyd | curvy part with your paw and send it flying. The ringing stops! But
Floyd | then you hear a concerned female voice talking out of it. It's saying
Floyd | some kind of greeting.
Floyd |
Floyd | A concerned female voice speaks from the phone right beside you.
Floyd |
Floyd | You feel like you have achieved something particularly kittenish.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Knight_Otu says, "Well, our cat managed to start a skype call once."
Jacqueline exclaims, "Level up!"
DavidW says (to Floyd), "meow"
Floyd | You say "Meowr?" to let the voice know that you are here and want to
Floyd | know what's going on. The voice asks you a question that you don't
Floyd | understand, laughs, and then says some other things, and finally it
Floyd | says "goodbye". You know then it will go away and it does.
Floyd |
Floyd | An artificial voice from the phone repeats itself with strange quiet
Floyd | parts between.
Floyd |
Floyd | You feel like you have achieved something particularly kittenish.

DavidW says (to Floyd), "jump down"
Floyd | After a few moments of weightless falling and the rude impact, you are
Floyd | once again walking around on the shiny floor.
Floyd |
Floyd | Kitchen
Floyd | Here enormous metal boxes reach upward from a shiny floor that you can
Floyd | skid across if you run fast enough and suddenly stop. The tallest box
Floyd | is cold, vibrates, and smells like food! The shorter boxes also smell
Floyd | like food, but not as strongly. The whole area smells like trees -- a
Floyd | fresh, outdoors kind of scent, which doesn't make sense, because this
Floyd | is indoors.
Floyd |
Floyd | Halfway to the ceiling (it seems) a shiny surface ledge runs like a
Floyd | pathway, over a shorter box and connects to the tallest one. It's
Floyd | wider than the ledge in your place. In the middle of the floor the
Floyd | brown table towers over you. The guest chair sits underneath it, and
Floyd | His chair is nearby.
Floyd |
Floyd | You hear the sound of a cat scratching itself and know that it must be
Floyd | Goodcat/Badcat.
Floyd |
Floyd | A horrible grating sound comes from the phone on the table!
Floyd |
Floyd | >
DavidW says (to Floyd), "open fridge"
Floyd | You claw at what seems to be the weakest point of the cold box, but
Floyd | you can't get it open.
Floyd |
Floyd | You hear the sound of grooming coming from somewhere nearby.
Floyd |
Floyd | A horrible grating sound comes from the phone on the table!
Floyd |
Floyd | >
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x boxes"
Floyd | One of them smells more like water than food, and the other smells
Floyd | like fire and food.
Floyd |  Both of them have parts that stick out that look like you could walk
Floyd | on them, but they are too narrow.
Floyd | Goodcat/Badcat indicates that these are interesting only when open,
Floyd | but the hot-smelling one hurts.
Floyd |
Floyd | You hear the sound of grooming coming from somewhere nearby.

DavidW says (to Floyd), "u"
Floyd |
Floyd | Brown Table
Floyd | This is a small place, a little bit larger than the soft place but not
Floyd | as large as the place around it. If you ran around here, you'd
Floyd | definitely fall off the edges. The floor feels like a bunch of string,
Floyd | tightly wound together and it is arranged in colors and in patterns of
Floyd | things you don't recognize. From here, you can see a shiny surface you
Floyd | could easily jump to, and you can view most of the room and the next
Floyd | room over, which pulls your kittenish heart with what looks like large
Floyd | and soft beds. Taking a quick sniff, you realize that this area is
Floyd | used for eating food, but there is no food here now.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can see a remote and a phone here.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
DavidW says (to Floyd), "jump to shiny surface"
Floyd | That doesn't look far away. You take a quick look and with a little
Floyd | jump you land safely on the countertop.
Floyd |
Floyd | Countertop
Floyd | From up here, you can see the entire shiny place.  It makes you feel
Floyd | powerful and important, like perhaps you controlled the whole area and
Floyd | had a few cat soldiers to do your bidding as well. If it was softer
Floyd | and not so narrow, it would make a great bed. From here, you can jump
Floyd | up to the metal box. The most distinctive smell is the scent of
Floyd | Goodcat/Badcat. He is near.

Floyd |
Floyd | Refrigerator Top
Floyd | On top of this cold metal cube, you find what you've been expecting
Floyd | the whole time: Goodcat/Badcat. He is a refined grey cat with black
Floyd | stripes who sits with his body perpendicular to yours, his head facing
Floyd | you. He has two large yellow eyes and seems unaffected by your
Floyd | arrival, as though he had been expecting you.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can see Goodcat/Badcat here.

Guenni says, "back."
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x goodcat"
Floyd | You don't see any such thing here.

Floyd | seems angry; you feel decidedly nervous.
Floyd |

DavidW says (to Floyd), "purr"
Floyd | You only do that when you are talking to Him. That's the fun part.
Floyd | When He gets back, you let out all the purrs you have saved up the
Floyd | whole day.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
DavidW says (to Floyd), "smell cat"
Floyd | You approach him but at the last moment, back off. His fierce stare
Floyd | seems to shout, "How dare you approach when we have not properly
Floyd | greeted one another yet!"
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Knight_Otu says, "Aww."
DavidW says (to Floyd), "meow"
Floyd | You're not sure how you talk with another cat, after all, your only
Floyd | memories are hazy and indistinct ones of your littermates and mom. So

DavidW says (to Floyd), "scratch cat"
Floyd | Looking back on it, you realize that this was one of those things that

Floyd | bloodcurdling hiss and a swift paw that sent you flying right off the
Floyd | vibrating metal box. You landed on the ledge below and backed away
Floyd | just in time to avoid him jumping on you. Fear and adrenaline ran
Floyd | through your veins and you jumped, jumped, and ran like your tail was
Floyd | on fire. Now you're on the other side of that stringy ow, catching
Floyd | your breath, the image of him turning away with a refined departing
Floyd | spit echoing in your ears. His departing words were, "And don't come

Floyd |
Floyd | Gated Hall
Floyd | The hall from  ends here at a soft ow about half as tall as an

Floyd | Just in front of you, the shiny and slippery floor begins and the

Floyd | them did. The ows are dabbed with white that doesn't go with the rest
Floyd | of the ow and they smell new somehow. The floor is soft like it is in
Floyd | your place but it smells wild -- full of scents that draw you to

Floyd | smell that can only be Goodcat/Badcat.

Floyd | fresh smell that makes you want to lie down and go to sleep, if only
Floyd | there were something soft enough to sleep on.  The solid mow on the
Floyd | opposite side greets you with a welcoming and familiar scent from
Floyd | between it and the floor. You would know it anywhere -- it is Him. He

Floyd | The air is warm here, and light spills in across the room from the
Floyd | window on the far side of the room. Shadows and light play across the
Floyd | floor in hypnotizing patterns, threatening to lull you to sleep.
Floyd | Scattered across the room are brown boxes, arranged in no particular
Floyd | order, some of which are very tall. You get the feeling that the boxes
Floyd | were just moved here and that the room wasn't built too long ago: the
Floyd | whole place smells new.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can see a short box, a tall box and a towering box here.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Guenni says (to Floyd), "jump on short"
Floyd | You leap up to the box and then look around, surveying your new
Floyd | surroundings.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Guenni says (to Floyd), "nap"
Floyd | You lie down and curl yourself into a little ball. You squinch your
Floyd | eyelids shut and feel your limbs go slack. As the haze of sleep comes
Floyd | over you, before you know it, you are somewhere else entirely.
Floyd |
Floyd | Palace (in a catnap) (on the golden oval)
Floyd | Here, the sun shines in from above to form a golden oval in the center
Floyd | of a stone dais. Around you are furry and soft places, but none as
Floyd | soft as the golden oval, which is why you're relaxing upon it. On one
Floyd | side is a milkfall where milk falls down over squares and all you have
Floyd | to do is turn your head to one side to drink. On the other side is a
Floyd | waterfall of clear and cool water. As you wait, smaller cats wearing
Floyd | bells and silly red-and-green clothes over their fur nose delicate
Floyd | trays up to you to eat, should you care to. It is early morning in
Floyd | this wonderful palace, where you are the Queen.
Floyd |
Floyd | On the delicate trays are choice meats.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Jacqueline says, "Choice. Meats."
DavidW says, "oh my."
Guenni says, "WhowK"
Guenni says (to Floyd), "drink milk"
Floyd | You incline your head ever-so-slightly and take a refreshing drink,
Floyd | making sure to lick your mouth daintily afterwards.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Guenni says (to Floyd), "eat meat"
Floyd | As you're not particularly hungry, you nibble several different
Floyd | offerings distractedly, enjoying the various tastes and textures.
Floyd |
Floyd | With a sudden "bang" the dream world disappears and your eyes flit
Floyd | open. You hear His voice, talking to Goodcat/Badcat. You stretch and
Floyd | lazily mewl to let him know you are here.
Floyd |
Floyd | He discovers you and then picks you up. He is surprised, and then
Floyd | kind. He pets you over and over again, chuckling at some of the things
Floyd | you have done. "I suppose I will have to name you now," he says. He
Floyd | holds you high in the air and then triumphantly christens you, "Merry.
Floyd | Yes, that's the perfect name for you." You nuzzle your face into his
Floyd | arms, turning the name around and around in your mind. Merry. It's a
Floyd | good name, well, as good as humans get at these things, you think. You
Floyd | beam up at Him as He carries you.

Jacqueline says, "huh."
Jacqueline says, "So, five is enough to be named."
Jacqueline says, "And we were on a timer."
Jacqueline says, "Eeenteresting."
DavidW says, "I think that sleeping has to be done last."
Guenni says, "I think it was more about napping being the end of our day."
DavidW says, "yeah."
Jacqueline says, "Oh, yeah."
Jacqueline says, "That's a good point."
Jacqueline says, "Duh"
Knight_Otu says, "Yeah, that seems the most likely."
Jacqueline says, "So, um, crap, the game ended with no undo."
Guenni asks, "So, once more?"
Jacqueline asks, "And no save, right?"
Jacqueline says (to Guenni), "Sure"
Jacqueline says, "It won't be hard to get the points back quickly."
Guenni says, "Have to use the litter box, but go ehead."

Floyd | Soft Place
Floyd | You live in a nice soft place inside a bigger space that has three
Floyd | ows, and one moveable ow. You call these things ows because they hurt
Floyd | when you run into them, and the moving ow (mow) only He can move. The
Floyd | soft place is where you sleep and it smells like you. Outside the soft
Floyd | space is where He puts the food and water. The food is ok, but the
Floyd | milk you used to have was much better. You wonder if He could get some
Floyd | of that again.
Floyd |
Floyd | He always shuts the mow, but today he has left it open. You do not
Floyd | know what is beyond it, except what you have heard him talk about.
Floyd | There is another thing called GoodCat/BadCat. It must have another
Floyd | name as well, because it was here when you got here, but it is far
Floyd | away and when He talks to it, you can only hear GoodCat or BadCat. You
Floyd | must be related, because you both are called Cat.
Floyd |
Floyd | You have always wondered where He goes when He closes the mow and what
Floyd | lies beyond it. "Could there be even more mows and ows? Could my place
Floyd | be just one place inside a much bigger place? I want to find out.
Floyd | Maybe if I find out, I can get a name," you think.

DavidW says, "I wasn't sure if there's anything in this first room or not."

Floyd | Your Place
Floyd | Your Place surrounds the soft place. It's much bigger and it is soft
Floyd | on your feet, but not as soft as the soft place. You can run around
Floyd | here but the three ows stop you. Nothing has changed from this morning
Floyd | when He left -- the food dish, the water bowl, the sandbox, and the
Floyd | ledge are in their same places and they smell the same. The most
Floyd | interesting thing, though, is the mow. It's wide open in front of you

Floyd | New Hall
Floyd | This is a strange place. It's long, like maybe if your place were
Floyd | stretched out to your right and to your left taller than He is. The
Floyd | scents that invaded your place came from here, or at least some of
Floyd | them did. The ows are dabbed with white that doesn't go with the rest
Floyd | of the ow and they smell new somehow. The floor is soft like it is in
Floyd | your place but it smells wild -- images sweep over you of Him, others
Floyd | like Him, a world filled with flying things and grass, clean scents
Floyd | and many others that you've never smelled before. Faintly, you also
Floyd | detect a sweet yet salty wild smell that can only be Goodcat/Badcat.

Knight_Otu says, "You'll get there, little kitten."

Floyd | Midway Hall
Floyd | You are halfway down the hall, up to a good speed when you see
Floyd | something that compels you to stop and look. Here two mows face each
Floyd | other -- one that is not completely solid and one that doesn't reach
Floyd | the floor. The non-solid mow has slats from the top to the bottom,
Floyd | like what is on the window in your place. It has a wonderful fresh
Floyd | smell that makes you want to lie down and go to sleep, if only there
Floyd | were something soft enough to sleep on.  Mmrrow. You can't help
Floyd | yourself and rub lazily against it. It feels good. The solid mow on
Floyd | the opposite side greets you with a welcoming and familiar scent from
Floyd | between it and the floor. You would know it anywhere -- it is Him. He
Floyd | is not here, but beyond is surely His lair.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Guenni says (to Floyd), "x solid"
Floyd | It's a large mow (like they all are) with a metal handle about
Floyd | half-way up. It doesn't reach the floor, and  underneath it is a white
Floyd | thing. Beyond it is his lair.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x white thing"
Floyd | You can't get your nose close enough to really tell much about it,
Floyd | except that it's a covering for His paws and it smells like it.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
DavidW asks, "a sock?"
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x sock"
Floyd | You can't get your nose close enough to really tell much about it,

Guenni says (to Floyd), "x metal handle"
Floyd | You don't see any such thing here.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "pull sock"
Floyd | You reach out for it and snag it in your claws; surprised, you pull
Floyd | back and pull it out into the room. You smell it more carefully and
Floyd | know that He put this on his paw two suns ago, had circular meat-bread
Floyd | for dinner, and generally felt happy. You remember that day. The
Floyd | covering itself is soft and yet stretchy. He calls this "sock". You
Floyd | look at it curiously, trying to understand why He needs a covering for
Floyd | his paws.
Floyd |
Floyd | You feel like you have achieved something particularly kittenish.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
DavidW asks, "There's a sock on the door?"
DavidW asks, "What is He doing in there?"
Guenni says (to Floyd), "x solid"
Floyd | It's a large mow (like they all are) with a metal handle about
Floyd | half-way up. It doesn't reach the floor. Beyond it is his lair.
Floyd |

Knight_Otu says, "I think it was under the door."
DavidW says (to Floyd), "look under door"
Floyd | You see something that must be an enormous bed, coverings for his
Floyd | paws, boxes, and shiny things as intricate as bugs, but they don't
Floyd | move around.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
DavidW says, "oh. hm."
DavidW says, "I guess my mind was in the gutter again."
Guenni says, "I wonder if we could fit through."

Floyd | when you really had to. Fortunately, this is not one of those times.

DavidW says (to Floyd), "x keyhole"
Floyd | You don't see any such thing here.
Floyd |

Guenni says, "The door handle is kind of a phantom."
DavidW says, "I guess."
Guenni says (to Floyd), "x slats"
Floyd | It is a mow, but you're not sure how He moves it, because there is no
Floyd | blob of metal halfway up. It's not solid, like other mows are, and you
Floyd | can see fluffy colored things beyond; an almost-dizzying sleepy fresh
Floyd | smell comes from beyond it.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Guenni says (to Floyd), "move slats"
Floyd | It's much too large and heavy for you to move it.
Floyd |

DavidW says, "I just wanted to doublecheck that it wasn't the setup for a newspaper under the door, key in the other side of the keyhole puzzle."
Knight_Otu asks, "How would we use a key, anyway?"
Guenni says (to Floyd), "paw slats"
Floyd | You try for a few moments, but don't make any appreciable impact.

Guenni says (to Floyd), "squeeze throuh slats"

Floyd | Kitchen
Floyd | Here enormous metal boxes reach upward from a shiny floor that you can

Floyd | is cold, vibrates, and smells like food! The shorter boxes also smell
Floyd | like food, but not as strongly. The whole area smells like trees -- a
Floyd | fresh, outdoors kind of scent, which doesn't make sense, because this
Floyd | is indoors. Goodcat/Badcat is in this room; his scent is strong. You
Floyd | whip your head around but don't see him anywhere. Is he waiting to
Floyd | pounce you? You continue looking around carefully.
Floyd |
Floyd | Halfway to the ceiling (it seems) a shiny surface ledge runs like a
Floyd | pathway, over a shorter box and connects to the tallest one. It's
Floyd | wider than the ledge in your place. In the middle of the floor is a
Floyd | large brown circle held up by four legs. Underneath it are two smaller
Floyd | versions, with one pulled away from the other. You wind your way
Floyd | around these things and quickly smell what their names are. The large
Floyd | thing is called a table. The smaller things are called chairs (one is
Floyd | His and the other is guest). The names seem strong, but dull. You hope
Floyd | He doesn't name you any of those names.
Floyd |
Floyd | You hear the sound of grooming coming from somewhere nearby.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Guenni says (to Floyd), "jump up"
Floyd | You must name something more substantial.
Floyd |
Floyd | You hear the sound of a cat scratching itself and know that it must be
Floyd | Goodcat/Badcat.
Floyd |

Guenni says (to Floyd), "jump on table"
Floyd | That's too far away. You ponder jumping to something closer instead.
Floyd |

DavidW says, "Jump on his chair, then jump on the table, then jump on the countertop, then jump on the ftop."
Guenni says (to Floyd), "jump on chair"
Floyd | What do you want to jump on: the guest chair or His chair?
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Guenni says (to Floyd), "guest"
Floyd | You don't think you'll make it, but you go for it anyways. YOW! You
Floyd | bop your head on the underside of the table and spend a few moments
Floyd | wincing away the pain.

Guenni says (to Floyd), "jump on table"
Floyd | You easily jump up on the table, your claws clutching the threaded
Floyd | surface.
Floyd |
Floyd | Brown Table
Floyd | This is a small place, a little bit larger than the soft place but not
Floyd | as large as the place around it. If you ran around here, you'd
Floyd | definitely fall off the edges. The floor feels like a bunch of string,
Floyd | tightly wound together and it is arranged in colors and in patterns of
Floyd | things you don't recognize. From here, you can see a shiny surface you
Floyd | could easily jump to, and you can view most of the room and the next
Floyd | room over, which pulls your kittenish heart with what looks like large
Floyd | and soft beds. Taking a quick sniff, you realize that this area is
Floyd | used for eating food, but there is no food here now. You also realize
Floyd | the names of the two objects on the table, and your interest is
Floyd | piqued.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can see a phone and a remote here.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Guenni says (to Floyd), "jump on counter"
Floyd | That doesn't look far away. You take a quick look and with a little
Floyd | jump you land safely on the countertop.
Floyd |
Floyd | Countertop
Floyd | From up here, you can see the entire shiny place.  It makes you feel
Floyd | powerful and important, like perhaps you controlled the whole area and
Floyd | had a few cat soldiers to do your bidding as well. If it was softer
Floyd | and not so narrow, it would make a great bed. From here, you can jump
Floyd | up to the metal box. The most distinctive smell is the scent of
Floyd | Goodcat/Badcat. He is near.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Guenni says (to Floyd), "jump on top"
Floyd | >
DavidW says, "ftop"
Guenni says (to Floyd), "jump on ftop"
Floyd | You leap up to the top with the greatest of ease.
Floyd |
Floyd | Refrigerator Top
Floyd | On top of this cold metal cube, you find what you've been expecting
Floyd | the whole time: Goodcat/Badcat. He is a refined grey cat with black
Floyd | stripes who sits with his body perpendicular to yours, his head facing
Floyd | you. He has two large yellow eyes and seems unaffected by your
Floyd | arrival, as though he had been expecting you.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can see Goodcat/Badcat here.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Guenni says (to Floyd), "give sock to cat"
Floyd | Goodcat/Badcat sniffs the air and then sniffs the sock, taking his
Floyd | time to inhale all of its scents. He looks thoughtful for a moment and
Floyd | then rubs you, pressing into your fur one of his secrets. Fascinated,
Floyd | you ponder all the fun you'll have when you chew off a piece of
Floyd | meat-bread and leave it behind the vibrating box for twenty suns so
Floyd | that you too can have a smelly play toy!
Floyd |
Floyd | You feel like you have achieved something particularly kittenish.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
DavidW says, "WOOT!"
Knight_Otu exclaims, "Woo!"
DavidW says, "That actually worked!"
Guenni exclaims, "Meow!!"
Guenni says (to Floyd), "smell cat"
Floyd | You approach him but at the last moment, back off. His fierce stare
Floyd | seems to shout, "How dare you approach when we have not properly
Floyd | greeted one another yet!"
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Jacqueline says, "Well done."
Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "rub cat"
Floyd | You approach him but at the last moment, back off. His fierce stare
Floyd | seems to shout, "How dare you approach when we have not properly
Floyd | greeted one another yet!"
Floyd |
Floyd | >
DavidW says, "oh, it doesn't count as a greeting, though."
Guenni says, "But something is still missing."
Jacqueline asks, "Maybe we are not meant to be friend?"
Jacqueline asks, "er, friends?"
Jacqueline asks, "i can haz friend?"
Guenni says, "Hm the message sounds like we could be."
DavidW says (to Floyd), "talk to cat"
Floyd | You're not sure how you talk with another cat, after all, your only
Floyd | memories are hazy and indistinct ones of your littermates and mom. So
Floyd | you try talking to Goodcat/Badcat like you were talking to Him. You
Floyd | let out a curious "Meowr". His eyes fix upon you.
Floyd |
Floyd | Suddenly a loud ringing sound comes from the table and it startles you
Floyd | a foot into the air.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
DavidW says (to Floyd), "cat, hi"
Floyd | There is no reply.
Floyd |
Floyd | The phone on the table nearby rings, and it's loud!

Guenni says (to Floyd), "jump on counter"
Floyd | You jump down and land on the countertop with a noticeable "thud".
Floyd |
Floyd | Countertop
Floyd | From up here, you can see the entire shiny place. Only the
Floyd | refrigerator top gives a better view. It makes you feel powerful and
Floyd | important, like perhaps you controlled the whole area and had a few
Floyd | cat soldiers to do your bidding as well. If it was softer and not so
Floyd | narrow, it would make a great bed. From here, you can jump up to the

Floyd |
Floyd | The phone on the table nearby rings, and it's loud!

Guenni says (to Floyd), "jump on table"
Floyd | You span the distance with a soft jump and skid to a stop on the
Floyd | table.

DavidW says, "oops. too late."
Knight_Otu says, "Damn impatient phoners."
DavidW says, "At least we weren't in the shower."
Guenni says, "But in the middle of a greeting ritual."

Floyd | You don't see any such thing here.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Guenni says (to Floyd), "x phone"
Floyd | A curvy thing on a square thing that He uses for talking to people
Floyd | when they are not here. You're not sure how that works, but you know
Floyd | by sniffing it that that's what He does. Goodcat/Badcat says that it
Floyd | can be annoyingly loud.
Floyd | >
Guenni asks, "So now what! Earn our mirror point?"
DavidW says, "if you like."
DavidW says, "We still haven't seen all the kitchen or the living room yet."
Guenni says, "It's more a case of cannot think of anything better to do."
Knight_Otu says, "I was about to ask about the points you earned in he first playthrough."
Guenni says (to Floyd), "jump on chair"
Floyd | What do you want to jump on: the guest chair or His chair?
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Guenni says (to Floyd), "his"
Floyd | You gracefully jump down into the chair.
Floyd |
Floyd | You hear the sound of a cat scratching itself and know that it must be
Floyd | Goodcat/Badcat.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Guenni says (to Floyd), "jump down"
Floyd | You don't see how to do that from where you are.
Floyd |
Floyd | You hear the sound of grooming coming from somewhere nearby.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
DavidW says, "We got a point for looking in the bathroom mirror and another point drinking from the toilet and a third for having a phone conversation."
Guenni says (to Floyd), "jump on floor"
Floyd | You jump on it for a moment, but quickly tire of the one-sided play.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Knight_Otu says, "The phone conversation I saw."
Ellison arrives, ready to play with the toys. Jacqueline says, "I'm going to step out while you all drink from the toilet and enjoy it."
Guenni says (to Floyd), "climb gate"
Floyd | You don't see any such thing here.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Knight_Otu says, "I think just down"
Guenni says (to Floyd), "d"
Floyd | You don't see how to do that from where you are.
Floyd |
Floyd | You hear the sound of a cat scratching itself and know that it must be
Floyd | Goodcat/Badcat.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
DavidW says, "You're on the kitchen floor near the fridge, not the gate."
Guenni resists the urge to sigh again.
Guenni says (to Floyd), "look"
Floyd | Kitchen (on His chair)
Floyd | Here enormous metal boxes reach upward from a shiny floor that you can
Floyd | skid across if you run fast enough and suddenly stop. The tallest box
Floyd | is cold, vibrates, and smells like food! The shorter boxes also smell
Floyd | like food, but not as strongly. The whole area smells like trees -- a
Floyd | fresh, outdoors kind of scent, which doesn't make sense, because this
Floyd | is indoors.
Floyd |
Floyd | Halfway to the ceiling (it seems) a shiny surface ledge runs like a
Floyd | pathway, over a shorter box and connects to the tallest one. It's
Floyd | wider than the ledge in your place. In the middle of the floor the
Floyd | brown table towers over you. The guest chair sits underneath it, and
Floyd | His chair is nearby.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Guenni says (to Floyd), "jump off chair"

Floyd |
Floyd | >
Guenni asks, "Erm...???"
Knight_Otu asks, "Maybe we can only jump down from the table?"
DavidW says, "weird. that really should have worked."
Knight_Otu says, "Silly as it would be."
Guenni says (to Floyd), "jump on table"
Floyd | You easily jump up on the table, your claws clutching the threaded

Guenni says (to Floyd), "b"
Floyd |
Floyd | Edge of Kitchen
Floyd | Just behind you, the shiny and slippery floor begins and the large
Floyd | shiny things sit. The opposite way, you see softer but equally large
Floyd | things, but also a plant that sits in what looks like a square water
Floyd | bowl. The carpet is soft and it leads to your right, but to your left
Floyd | is the stringy ow that you'll have to climb to get over.
Floyd |
Floyd | The tall stringy gate bars progress to your left.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
DavidW asks, "okay, what's right from here? The living room?"
Guenni says (to Floyd), "climb gate"
Floyd | You clamber over the gate again, quickly, but not silently.
Floyd |
Floyd | Gated Hall
Floyd | The hall from in front of you ends here at a soft ow about half as
Floyd | tall as an ordinary ow. This ow is made of crossed strings and you can
Floyd | see through it; beyond are shiny tall metal boxes, almost taller than
Floyd | Him, on a shiny floor. You instinctively sniff the ow. Goodcat/Badcat
Floyd | has left a scent message that welcomes you to his world if you can get
Floyd | over the ow. He calls it something rather impolite.
Floyd |
Floyd | The tall stringy gate bars progress behind you.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
DavidW says, "drat."
Guenni says (to Floyd), "f"
Floyd |
Floyd | New Hall
Floyd | This is a strange place. It's long, like maybe if your place were
Floyd | stretched out in front of you and behind you taller than He is. The
Floyd | scents that invaded your place came from here, or at least some of
Floyd | them did. The ows are dabbed with white that doesn't go with the rest
Floyd | of the ow and they smell new somehow. The floor is soft like it is in
Floyd | your place but it smells wild -- full of scents that draw you to
Floyd | investigate them. Faintly, you also detect a sweet yet salty wild
Floyd | smell that can only be Goodcat/Badcat.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Guenni says (to Floyd), "f"
Floyd |
Floyd | Midway Hall
Floyd | Halfway down the hall, the non-solid mow has slats from the top to the
Floyd | bottom, like what is on the window in your place. It has a wonderful
Floyd | fresh smell that makes you want to lie down and go to sleep, if only
Floyd | there were something soft enough to sleep on.  The solid mow on the
Floyd | opposite side greets you with a welcoming and familiar scent from
Floyd | between it and the floor. You would know it anywhere -- it is Him. He
Floyd | is not here, but beyond is surely His lair.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Guenni says (to Floyd), "f"
Floyd |
Floyd | End Hall
Floyd | The long room ends here at an ow with one room on either side. The one
Floyd | to your right has sun filtering in through slats that make you want to
Floyd | rest in its warm spaces and play with the shadows. The room to your
Floyd | left is dark and presents several different smells relating to water.
Floyd | The ows seem really tall here and you feel fenced in and nervous.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Guenni says (to Floyd), "l"
Floyd |
Floyd | Bathroom
Floyd | This room is darker than the others, and a whole plethora of scents
Floyd | rush out to find you. You take a moment perched on the threshold to
Floyd | decipher what they all mean. The first smell smells like He does
Floyd | sometimes -- like growing things, like the outside. It's too strong
Floyd | for you and it causes your nose to wrinkle involuntarily. The next
Floyd | strongest smell is a fresh, clean smell that must be some kind of
Floyd | water. You know by the third smell that this is His place, because He
Floyd | has marked it. Mixed in with that territorial odor are lesser notes
Floyd | that smell like all sorts of yummy things. You're so glad he marked
Floyd | the area so you'd know where they are! It's odd, though. You look
Floyd | around but don't see a litterbox anywhere.
Floyd |
Floyd | Instead, off to the right you see what looks like a very long water
Floyd | bowl. It has sides so you can jump up on it and take look inside. It
Floyd | smells like that water smell. Opposite it is a giant white chair that
Floyd | is hollow in the middle, where the territorial smell and the yummy
Floyd | smells come from. You could jump up on it, too. Right beside you are
Floyd | wooden boxes, and on top of them is a tall dark window.
Floyd |
Floyd |  Wait! There's something in the window. Your hackles rise and your fur
Floyd | poofs out. It's another cat, the same size as you!
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Guenni says (to Floyd), "jump on toilet"
Floyd | (the toilet)
Floyd | With feline agility, you leap up to the deep water bowl.
Floyd |
Floyd | Toilet Rim
Floyd | You are halfway between the dark window and the floor, perched on the
Floyd | white chair. It's not soft, but it is fairly slick. The wonderful
Floyd | smells rise up from the hollow center, down in the water. You see
Floyd | above you a wide ledge that runs underneath the window. You could
Floyd | easily jump to it, or jump down to the bathroom floor.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Guenni says (to Floyd), "drink water"
Floyd | You're not thirsty, but you can't pass this opportunity up -- the
Floyd | smells are too interesting. Carefully you lower yourself into the
Floyd | toilet and take ten deep laps of the water. Then you pull yourself
Floyd | back up on the rim and luxuriate in the taste of tea, yogurt, and
Floyd | submarine sandwiches. You're thankful again that He was so kind to
Floyd | mark the area so that you'd know to find it.
Floyd |
Floyd | You feel like you have achieved something particularly kittenish.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Guenni says (to Floyd), "jump down"
Floyd | You jump down to the tiled floor below with matchless ease.
Floyd |
Floyd | Bathroom
Floyd | The hallway light provides the only light in this dark room. Your eyes
Floyd | adjust and your nose comes alive with the many different scents
Floyd | inside. The first smell smells like He does sometimes -- like growing
Floyd | things, like the outside. It's too strong for you and it causes your
Floyd | nose to wrinkle involuntarily. The next strongest smell is a fresh,
Floyd | clean smell that must be some kind of water. You know by the third

Floyd | to respond to her challenge somehow.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Guenni says (to Floyd), "jump on tub"
Floyd | You're a bit hesitant to jump where you can't see, so you jump up on
Floyd | the surrounding ledge instead.
Floyd |
Floyd | Tub Edge
Floyd | You are perched uncomfortably on the narrow ledge around the  tub. The
Floyd | surface beneath you is hard and damp, and that clean water smell comes
Floyd | from all around you. You can either enter the tub, or jump down back
Floyd | into the bathroom.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Guenni says (to Floyd), "jump down"
Floyd | You jump down with a faint "oof".
Floyd |

Floyd |
Floyd | Bathroom Counter
Floyd | You barely notice the rest of the surface except for the sink, which
Floyd | smells like his breath and some sort of plant. The dark window takes
Floyd | up the entire wall and inside there is another cat! Her fur is poofed
Floyd | out just like yours and her green eyes stare back at you in challenge.

Guenni asks, "What did we do the last time?"
DavidW says, "We meowed."

DavidW says (to Floyd), "smell cat"
Floyd | You lean your nose in to smell her and she does the exact same thing.
Floyd | Then you realize what seemed so strange about all of this: you never
Floyd | once smelled her. How can she have no scent and no voice? What sort of
Floyd | cat is that? You realize, too, that she only does what you do. If you
Floyd | stop, she stops; if you groom yourself, she grooms herself; if you
Floyd | blink, she blinks. She does whatever you do because she is you,
Floyd | somehow. Only not you and only in the dark window. It's weird, but
Floyd | you're glad you're not a human and have to deal with such
Floyd | complexities.
Floyd |
Floyd | You feel like you have achieved something particularly kittenish.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Jacqueline says, "There we go."
DavidW says, "The staring idea is new, though."
Guenni says (to Floyd), "x sink"

Floyd | his breath and some sort of fresh plant.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Guenni says (to Floyd), "jump down"

Floyd | End Hall
Floyd | The long room ends here at an ow with one room on either side. The one
Floyd | in front of you has sun filtering in through slats that make you want
Floyd | to rest in its warm spaces and play with the shadows. The room behind
Floyd | you is dark and presents several different smells relating to water.

Floyd | Sun Room
Floyd | The air is warm here, and light spills in across the room from the
Floyd | window on the far side of the room. Shadows and light play across the
Floyd | floor in hypnotizing patterns, threatening to lull you to sleep.
Floyd | Scattered across the room are brown boxes, arranged in no particular
Floyd | order, some of which are very tall. You get the feeling that the boxes
Floyd | were just moved here and that the room wasn't built too long ago: the
Floyd | whole place smells new.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can see a short box, a tall box and a towering box here.

Floyd | You turn to face to your left and bound away.
Floyd |
Floyd | Midway Hall
Floyd | Halfway down the hall, the non-solid mow has slats from the top to the
Floyd | bottom, like what is on the window in your place. It has a wonderful
Floyd | fresh smell that makes you want to lie down and go to sleep, if only
Floyd | there were something soft enough to sleep on.  The solid mow on the
Floyd | opposite side greets you with a welcoming and familiar scent from
Floyd | between it and the floor. You would know it anywhere -- it is Him. He
Floyd | is not here, but beyond is surely His lair.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Guenni says (to Floyd), "f"
Floyd |
Floyd | New Hall
Floyd | This is a strange place. It's long, like maybe if your place were
Floyd | stretched out behind you and in front of you taller than He is. The
Floyd | scents that invaded your place came from here, or at least some of
Floyd | them did. The ows are dabbed with white that doesn't go with the rest
Floyd | of the ow and they smell new somehow. The floor is soft like it is in
Floyd | your place but it smells wild -- full of scents that draw you to
Floyd | investigate them. Faintly, you also detect a sweet yet salty wild
Floyd | smell that can only be Goodcat/Badcat.
Floyd |

Guenni says (to Floyd), "f"
Floyd |
Floyd | Gated Hall
Floyd | The hall from behind you ends here at a soft ow about half as tall as
Floyd | an ordinary ow. This ow is made of crossed strings and you can see
Floyd | through it; beyond are shiny tall metal boxes, almost taller than Him,
Floyd | on a shiny floor. You instinctively sniff the ow. Goodcat/Badcat has
Floyd | left a scent message that welcomes you to his world if you can get
Floyd | over the ow. He calls it something rather impolite.
Floyd |
Floyd | The tall stringy gate bars progress in front of you.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Guenni says (to Floyd), "climb gate"
Floyd | You clamber over the gate again, quickly, but unfortunately not
Floyd | silently.
Floyd |
Floyd | Edge of Kitchen
Floyd | Just to your right, the shiny and slippery floor begins and the large
Floyd | shiny things sit. The opposite way, you see softer but equally large
Floyd | things, but also a plant that sits in what looks like a square water
Floyd | bowl. The carpet is soft and it leads in front of you, but behind you
Floyd | is the stringy ow that you'll have to climb to get over.
Floyd |

Floyd |
Floyd | Kitchen
Floyd | Here enormous metal boxes reach upward from a shiny floor that you can
Floyd | skid across if you run fast enough and suddenly stop. The tallest box
Floyd | is cold, vibrates, and smells like food! The shorter boxes also smell
Floyd | like food, but not as strongly. The whole area smells like trees -- a
Floyd | fresh, outdoors kind of scent, which doesn't make sense, because this
Floyd | is indoors.
Floyd |
Floyd | Halfway to the ceiling (it seems) a shiny surface ledge runs like a
Floyd | pathway, over a shorter box and connects to the tallest one. It's
Floyd | wider than the ledge in your place. In the middle of the floor the
Floyd | brown table towers over you. The guest chair sits underneath it, and
Floyd | His chair is nearby.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Guenni says (to Floyd), "jump on his"
Floyd | You agilely leap upwards into the chair.
Floyd |
Floyd | You hear the sound of grooming coming from somewhere nearby.
Floyd |

Guenni says (to Floyd), "jump on table"
Floyd | You easily jump up on the table, your claws clutching the threaded
Floyd | surface.
Floyd |
Floyd | Brown Table
Floyd | This is a small place, a little bit larger than the soft place but not
Floyd | as large as the place around it. If you ran around here, you'd
Floyd | definitely fall off the edges. The floor feels like a bunch of string,
Floyd | tightly wound together and it is arranged in colors and in patterns of
Floyd | things you don't recognize. From here, you can see a shiny surface you
Floyd | could easily jump to, and you can view most of the room and the next
Floyd | room over, which pulls your kittenish heart with what looks like large
Floyd | and soft beds. Taking a quick sniff, you realize that this area is
Floyd | used for eating food, but there is no food here now.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can see a phone and a remote here.

Guenni says (to Floyd), "jump on counter"
Floyd | That doesn't look far away. You take a quick look and with a little
Floyd | jump you land safely on the countertop.
Floyd |
Floyd | Countertop
Floyd | From up here, you can see the entire shiny place. Only the
Floyd | refrigerator top gives a better view. It makes you feel powerful and
Floyd | important, like perhaps you controlled the whole area and had a few
Floyd | cat soldiers to do your bidding as well. If it was softer and not so
Floyd | narrow, it would make a great bed. From here, you can jump up to the
Floyd | metal box. The most distinctive smell is the scent of Goodcat/Badcat.
Floyd | He is near.

Guenni says (to Floyd), "jump on ftop"
Floyd | You leap up to the top with the greatest of ease.
Floyd |
Floyd | Refrigerator Top
Floyd | You are on top of the cold metal cube, better known as "refrigerator"
Floyd | and "Goodcat/Badcat's lair". Strangely, it is not cold here, but

Floyd | This is a comfortable room that also has strange things in it. The

Floyd | it changes colors too.  A narrow cloth bed (it looks like your bed,
Floyd | but it is so large that it must be for Him) touches the hall and
Floyd | beyond it is a wide cloth bed. Far away is a mow through which you can
Floyd | see the outside. Beside it is a plant that grows in a tall water dish.
Floyd | Near the plant there is a large black shiny square and a frozen bug on
Floyd | top of it, and beside the narrow bed is a puffy ball held in place by
Floyd | some kind of stick. The smells here fuse into one onrush of aroma that
Floyd | makes you feel relaxed and at home.
Floyd |
Floyd | You hear some kind of metallic scratching sound and then you see the
Floyd | mow in the tiled area open. There He is! He shuts the mow, puts down
Floyd | His bag and greets Goodcat/Badcat. You meow energetically to let him
Floyd | know that you are here.
Floyd |
Floyd | He discovers you and picks you up. He strokes kindly you as He walks
Floyd | through the house, laughing at all the things you have done. "You are
Floyd | quite the little explorer, aren't you?" he asks. You purr. "That
Floyd | effort deserves nothing less than a name!" He holds you high in the
Floyd | air and then triumphantly christens you, "Isabella. Yes, Isabella is
Floyd | your name." You nuzzle your face into his arms, turning the name
Floyd | around and around in your mind. Isabella. It's a good name, well, as
Floyd | good as humans get at these things, you think. You beam up at Him as
Floyd | He carries you.

Floyd |
Floyd | He always shuts the mow, but today he has left it open. You do not
Floyd | know what is beyond it, except what you have heard him talk about.
Floyd | There is another thing called GoodCat/BadCat. It must have another

Floyd | must be related, because you both are called Cat.

Floyd | Soft Place
Floyd | You live in a nice soft place inside a bigger space that has three

Floyd | when you run into them, and the moving ow (mow) only He can move. The
Floyd | soft place is where you sleep and it smells like you. Outside the soft
Floyd | space is where He puts the food and water. The food is ok, but the
Floyd | milk you used to have was much better. You wonder if He could get some
Floyd | of that again.
Floyd |
Floyd | He always shuts the mow, but today he has left it open. You do not
Floyd | know what is beyond it, except what you have heard him talk about.
Floyd | There is another thing called GoodCat/BadCat. It must have another
Floyd | name as well, because it was here when you got here, but it is far
Floyd | away and when He talks to it, you can only hear GoodCat or BadCat. You
Floyd | must be related, because you both are called Cat.
Floyd |
Floyd | You have always wondered where He goes when He closes the mow and what
Floyd | lies beyond it. "Could there be even more mows and ows? Could my place
Floyd | be just one place inside a much bigger place? I want to find out.
Floyd | Maybe if I find out, I can get a name," you think.

Floyd | New Cat is a ethereal, Romantic, wistful, slice-of-life game told from
Floyd | the eyes of the new cat in the household, who as yet does not have a
Floyd | name.
Floyd |
Floyd | Directions are: forward, back(ward), left, right, up, and down. Most
Floyd | rooms will tell you where the exits are, and if you're in a room with
Floyd | only one way out, OUT works as well. Other new verbs of note are rub
Floyd | (against), scratch, bat, paw, jump to, jump over, jump down, meow
Floyd | (talk), and lick.
Floyd |
Floyd | The point of the game is to explore the new world that is yours. The
Floyd | game ends when your master returns.
Floyd |
Floyd | Score represents experience, and not all experiences are pleasant. You
Floyd | don't need a perfect score to win. Finally, responses surrounded in
Floyd [brackets] are informational messages from the game.

Floyd | when you run into them, and the moving ow (mow) only He can move. The
Floyd | soft place is where you sleep and it smells like you. Outside the soft
Floyd | space is where He puts the food and water. The food is ok, but the
Floyd | milk you used to have was much better. You wonder if He could get some
Floyd | of that again.
Floyd |
Floyd | He always shuts the mow, but today he has left it open. You do not
Floyd | know what is beyond it, except what you have heard him talk about.
Floyd | There is another thing called GoodCat/BadCat. It must have another
Floyd | name as well, because it was here when you got here, but it is far
Floyd | away and when He talks to it, you can only hear GoodCat or BadCat. You
Floyd | must be related, because you both are called Cat.
Floyd |
Floyd | You have always wondered where He goes when He closes the mow and what
Floyd | lies beyond it. "Could there be even more mows and ows? Could my place
Floyd | be just one place inside a much bigger place? I want to find out.
Floyd | Maybe if I find out, I can get a name," you think.

Floyd | The hallway light provides the only light in this dark room. Your eyes

Floyd | clean smell that must be some kind of water. You know by the third

Floyd | that territorial odor are lesser notes that smell like all sorts of
Floyd | yummy things. You're so glad he marked the area so you'd know where

Floyd | Just to your right, the shiny and slippery floor begins and the large

Floyd | Sniffing the edges, you realize that it is a gateway to the outside.
Floyd | Images of grass, bright sunshine, concern, danger, and burden roll

Floyd | Here enormous metal boxes reach upward from a shiny floor that you can

Floyd | is cold, vibrates, and smells like food! The shorter boxes also smell
Floyd | like food, but not as strongly. The whole area smells like trees -- a

Floyd | is indoors.
Floyd |
Floyd | Halfway to the ceiling (it seems) a shiny surface ledge runs like a

Floyd | tightly wound together and it is arranged in colors and in patterns of
