She was dazzling, all right--a real heart-stopping beauty with a long fluffy tail--and I stood looking back at her like salmon looks at bait. After a while I got the fish-look off my face and said, "To start with, what's your name?""Antoinette," she said primly. "It's my stage name, of course.""You're an actress?""Not yet. I take classes at the Cat Actors Studio," she said, "but at the moment I'm a model. You might have seen my picture in the carpet-cleaner ad or for Snag-Pruf pantyhose or Dr. Katz's Soap?""I must've missed that," I mumbled."That's impossible," she said. "I get asked for my pawtograph everywhere I go."
