We're back in Studio 71, this wonderful new environment for us.
Christian's still staying with me, with me and Kate at a beautiful la.
And he's getting to know the situation.
We call it the menagerie.
We have two cats, as discussed, and a large 85 pound dog.
It's funny just to observe you getting to know their behavior and their personalities.
And the other day we were just, you were sitting like very comfortably on the couch and Tik, our cat, just jumped right up, just out of nowhere.
I mean, they're silent, you don't hear them coming.
So he just leapt up right next to you, probably centimeters from your face, with a little like.
And you, you startled in a way that made me laugh so hard.
I fell off the couch laughing.
Key part of the story that you're forgetting is that seconds earlier you were telling me that there was a bobcat in the neighborhood and that it was obviously extremely dangerous.
Right, right.
So I had that in my head.
The idea of a dangerous bobcat, that was the freshest thought that was in my head at the time.
Right.
Why would I leave that out?
That is a key part of the story.
Maybe.
The key part of the story, yes.
