**General**

* (**Basil** is licking their fur gently.)
 **Infant** | * "Can you make a funny face? I wanna see a funny face! / **Bob** makes funny faces and I laugh and laugh and laugh. **Buttercup** says I laugh loud."
* "Do you know Elli? Elli is nice and gives me gifts sometimes. / Maybe you can give me lots of gifts, too! Can you? Can you can you can you pleeeeease?"
 **1 Star** | * "Can you hear my thoughts? I'll bet I can hear yours. / Or maybe those are just my own thoughts in my head. I never really know. / Are you thinking about butterflies? If so then I think it works!"
* "I have two siblings! I can count them. **Beau**, that's one. **Bubby**, that's two! / I am good at counting. **Buttercup** says I'm very good at counting. I can even count up to three! Wanna see? Do you wanna see, (Name)? / One, two... three! Hehe."
* "I wanna be a bird! Then I could fly around and see the town from the sky. / And I could catch fish to give to **Bob** and they would be so happy about it. / I heard that birds are very good at catching fish. I don't know if that's true because I don't think birds know how to swim. Maybe fish know how to fly?"
* "I've got a big family! Some cats don't have a family. That makes me sad to think about. / So I'm not going to think about it! I'm going to do a silly dance instead. Wanna watch, (Name)? I can dance good! I promise!"
 **2 Stars** | * "When you were a little small kitten like me, did you have any friends? What were they like? / I have lots of friends! Plus I have **Bubby** and **Beau**, though they don't really count since they're my siblings. But I still think they're good friends."
* "How do adult cats remember so many things? I forget what my parents tell me all the time. / Oh, that reminds me, I'm not supposed to be here right now! I'm supposed to be doing something else to help out. Don't tell **Buttercup** you saw me here, OK?"
* "Can I tell you a secret? / I like to hide seashells under my bed and look at them when I'm supposed to be sleeping. They're so pretty! / Do you hide stuff under your bed, (Name)?"
* "Why does **Bob** call **Buttercup** 'sweetheart'? That's not their name. Their name is **Buttercup**! / I think **Bob** forgets sometimes. How else do you explain that?"
 **3 Stars** | * "Most big cats just ignore little cats like me, but not you. I like that you talk to me. You're a cool big cat, (Name). / Maybe they don't see me because I'm little. They probably look right over me and forget to look down."
* "I'm boooored! So I'm gonna sing about being bored! / That's what I do whenever I get bored. It always works. / *[bouncy]I'm singing! I'm bored! I'm singing and I'm bored! La la la, a doo doo doo... Not bored anymore! Now I'm just singing... La la la!* / See? It totally works."
* "Wanna see who can meow the loudest? I'm super good at this game! I always beat **Bubby** when we play this game. / Here I go, listen to me, OK (Name)? / **MEOW!** How was that? / OK, now it's your turn! Your turn, your turn, your turn!"
* "I had a dream about a weird cloud that was pink and then it started raining and the raindrops were pink, too. The cloud was shaped like a butterfly. / Krampy said something about how dreams have meanings so I've been trying to understand what mine was about, but I can't figure it out. / What do you dream about, (Name)?"
 **4 Stars** | * "I wish I was born a butterfly. They're a lot prettier than cats. / But I think I'm a pretty cat, as far as cats go. / Maybe I could be a cat with butterfly wings! That would be totally awesome."
* "I look a lot like **Buttercup**. / I like that I look a lot like **Buttercup** because I love **Buttercup**. They are the best parent a kitten like me could ask for."
* "I saw a really really really cool rock yesterday that I almost picked up. It looked just like you, (Name). Same color as your fur. / I didn't pick it up though and when I went back to find it the rock was already gone. Maybe somebody else picked it up and is going to give it to you. I don't really know what happened."
* "What did you do yesterday? What are you gonna do tomorrow? What are you up to today? / I'm supposed to go around town and ask every cat what their schedule is like. / **Bob** wants me to learn all there is to know about how the (colony title) operates so that I can find my 'niche' when I'm grown up. I don't really know what that means."
* "What color are my eyes? **Bubby** kept telling me that they're white but I think they were just messing with me. / I'm pretty sure they're yellow but I don't know for sure. I can't really see my own eyes, that's the problem. / Maybe I'll never know for sure."

**Gifts**

**Misc.**

* "Can I keep adventuring with you? Can I can I can I can I pretty pretty pleeeeeeeease? I promise I won't even get in your way! I promise!" ***(Current Buddy)***

 **Festivals** | * "I wanna buy a really big blanket with my Festival Tokens. I want one that's blue and sparkly and has butterflies on it. / I want it to be big enough that me and **Beau** and **Bubby** and **Bob** and **Buttercup** can all snuggle in it. / Do you think Coco sells those? Do you?" ***(All festivals)***
 **Storming** | "Your fur is all wet! Why is your fur all wet? / Oh, it's storming out. That makes sense. / I honestly hadn't noticed. How did I not notice, huh (Name)? I can be kinda silly sometimes."
