"I will take that as a definite yes." Max smiled and raised his cup to the cat. If the private eye weren't working under the idea that this was all a dream, he might have been a little embarrassed to be caught talking to a cat. AT the moment, he didn't really care.
"Well, yes, we've been having a lovely conversation about milk and coffee. He likes his milk in a saucer; I like my coffee without milk." He nodded. Yeah, he got the dame who was...familiar. She had been at the meeting; his mind was working overtime with the details.
"You should try it. The talking to a cat, or any animal. Or the saucer of milk of that's your thing." He shrugged; oddly, this was not the strangest conversation he'd ever had. Perhaps odder still was that he would probably have this conversation even if he were awake. That was something of an eye opener. He was truly one of the touched.
