"You're gonna have to make it super convincing. They're smart. I think they'd know otherwise." And in his experience, limited as it was, cats liked things that moved. Made them want to chase.

"What if we put the treats down? Sparky ate that last one just fine. Maybe he's got room for more. Or, Aslan looks trained enough, would he follow you if you crawled through everything before him?"

At the end of the day, he didn't know so.

"Let's use your idea."


His name was most certainly not "Sparky" and he most certainly had no intention of doing much work today. He wanted to be fed more treats, have a nap, get a few scratches behind his ear, go back for another nap, maybe play with a few toys.

That was it.

At least he was no longer being dangled about. This boy was almost comfortable.
Can he play dead too? Hm.. Maybe? Noah glanced down at Aslan with a questioning look as if the question extended to him; however, Aslan turned his head and looked away. "I think that's a no to playing dead. Can Sparky.. here do that?" he glanced at the kneazle now seated in Kitt's lap.

Noah nodded not once but twice at Kitt's statement. That was very, very true. They weren't dealing with a dog here A dog would have been much easier to convince. He remained quiet, listening to Kitt explain that they ought to try putting a trail of food down. He nodded at that idea. "I like the food idea but I think it would only last for so long... We may have to get some sort of toy that they feel like they need to pounce on... I doubt that the Professor has a laser pointer lying around... That works on the family cat at home." Jinx would go absolutely BANANAS for the laser. It was a game that lasted hours for both him and Noah. "But right. The mouse!"

With mice in hand, he returned back to Kitt. "I grabbed two?" he said as he held one out to Kitt. Now how would he get the mouse to move... Hmm... OH WAIT. "We don't need string... We could use the Locomotion charm.. Do you know it?" he asked Kitt. He brought out his wand and pointed it at said toy, "Locomotor." Hmm.. The mouse now hovered an inch or two off of his hand. Noah bit his lip, wondering how long the kneazles would be entertained for.

Aslan was not going to play dead. He liked this kid but that was going too far. Nope. No way, Jose or Mr. Human. MY NAME is Aslan. I'm feeeeline royalty. Pleaase. He couldn't dare tarnish such a royal name. He turned away from the sweet boy to show that he was not pleased by the suggestion. Moments later, he watched as the two humans discuss an idea back and forth. His eyes flicked to the other kneazle.. Sparky wasn't his name... He could have chuckled. "Hey Spark Spark," he teased as he watched the other kneazle settle on the boy's lap. To anyone who heard him, he just sounded as if he was meowing.

Then he saw something float. The kneazle jumped when he saw something moving above the boy's hand.... What. WAS. THAT. He needed to get a closer look. What to climb... What to climb.... Ah there was a tree nearby. Maybe if he CLIMBED that - he could get to whatever was floating.
