The young boy servant usually just lies there, with that plug stuck in his mouth. It's a good thing, too, because without it... Whoa. Does that boy have some lungs!
The big servants try to distract him with a rattle. It's quite amazing, really. This little thing that they shake at him makes him happy as can be. Why, he can even spit out his plug and still smile at that rattle. It's a small miracle.

I thought he pulled my tail clear off for a second. I was banished to the basement for a few hours after that "incident." But it's okay.

Wait. What's that? Frenzied Ninja Cat Mode, commence! Must catch the magical red dot of random motion.
Hey, what are <i>you</i> laughing at?
