Hmm

"One cat at a time is good," and Neptune noted the one Lexi had chosen. She approved. "Maybe we should think like a cat. See us as he sees us, you know? Maybe ... maybe we should try to ... domesticate him. Quickly. Throw all our womenly wiles and charms at him." Giggle.

Neptune tossed her curls over her shoulder, like that might show the cat how sophisticated she was. "Like.... coax... tackle... love... deliver."
This was SO going to be like a lion stalking a gazelle... only it was a lion stalking a little lion. Or something like that. Yeah.

"What exactly do you think it would mean to think like a cat... Like do we need to crawl around and meow and stuff to get into character or something? I think you are right about the domesticating bit there. I think if we love them enough they will turn nice." Logic. She had it.

Lexi took a few steps toward the kitty target and stopped short as she had a thought. "What if one of us runs at the cat shouting and makes it run off in the opposite direction toward the tackler?" FEW STEPS CLOSER TO THE KITTEH.

Maybe she could use her shoe strings to hog tie the kitty if it refused to be domesticated. That would keep it from scratching her and infecting her with kneazle pox.
