flashback - two weeks ago
shalini -"hey mark, i think mommacat's pregnant again.'
mark - "no way."
shalini - "yeah... look at her belly... see how it's rounder toward the bottom?"
mark - [shrugging] i dunno... maybe she's just eaten something big?"
shalini - "..."

flash forward to present time
shalini - "hello mommacat, you're looking sleek and svel... oh, crap."
mommacat - "mmmmprrooaawwrrrr?"
shalini - "alright, alright... i have a can of tuna."
mommacat - "pprrrroaawr!"

in background, five skinny little kittens whinge shrilly, either because they're head butting each other, or because they're burning their tongues as they try to suckle the galvanised iron fence.
end.
