Will The Real Aliens Please Stand Up -- Page Two

I pondered this remarkable development for a few minutes, but something about it just didn’t seem quite right. Feral cats would certainly seem, at first glance, to be the most likely group of aliens. They live on city streets and have no real homes. And nobody is quite sure where they came from. So it would be logical to assume that they are the aliens.
But something deep down inside was telling me that this was not true – indeed that the absolute opposite might well be the case.
"Bear with me for a moment," I said to Tammy. "Have you ever noticed how, whenever any non-cat – especially the PTB (Powers That Be) – steps into the WildCats Village, the cats instantly treat them like they’re the aliens?"
"I think I see where you’re going, Boss," exclaimed Tammy.
"Exactly," I said. "My own theory is that feral cats are, in fact, indigenous to this planet, while the PTB, and perhaps most other species, are the aliens."
"Maybe we need to talk to Professor Barkalot about this," said Tammy . . .
. . . Professor Barkalot, you may remember, met secretly with Tammy and me two years ago, after his extended visit to Transylvania where he had uncovered the remarkable truth about the cat who created the universe.
He told us that he was on the track of many other dangerous secrets and that we should feel free to contact him in Transylvania should anything come up that might need his help.
Since it now seemed like we might really be onto something, I agreed that Tammy should contact the Professor at once . . .
