There is a strange man here!

 'Rudy' is the kleenex box holder! The cats seemed to recognize that he had human features. Firefly was quite amused, Sparrow was unfazed and Plum was a bit frightened of him!

Rudy had never been on the bed before.

 I'm Sparrow and I'm not frightened!

I'm Plum and I am a bit scared of Rudy. Does that make me a 'scaredy cat'?

I was glad when mommy put this man away.
