Dwnn:
Fur instance, our furrst night in our home we climbed up the drapes in the bedroom and walked across the rod at the top. When we met each other in the middle, we yowled and jumped down on the hoomin bean's bed. We did this three times that night and only stopped when the rod fell off and landed on top of our new meowmie!

Taliesin:
Yeah, then we hid her watch and stuff under the bath mat before going downstairs and pushing a couple of hundred books off the shelves.

Twins:
Of course, we have other names too. Dwnn (rhymes with twin) and Taliesin are the names meowmie uses at home and we use online. Our v*t records list us as Thing I and Thing II. Visitors sometimes call us shocking things!

Freya:
My goodness, that is so sad. I hopes someone luffs you.

Twins:
Oh YES! Our winkwinks do.

Freya:
Oh, tell me 'bout them.

Taliesin:
My winkwink is Widgy and Dwnn's is Tommye. They live with Queen Bitsy, you know. We weren't sure she'd purrmit us to become their winkwinks since we're only Dukes of CLAW. We'd heard she's a turribell snob, but she's been most gracious to us.

Dwnn:
I made a web page about how Taliesin met his winkwink, Widgy.

Freya:
Dat is such a romantic story. It made me cry. I just luffs romance. Sigh ....

Taliesin:
Yes, it's pretty amazing how Widgy and I got together. Fate smiled upon us. 'Course, all the time Dwnn pretended he was pleading my case with Widgy, he was really courting Tommye.

Dwnn:
Unfair! Opie and I were furry clever in bringing Taliesin and Widgy together, Freya. It was my good fortune to meet Tommye and have her agree to become my winkwink.

Twins:
They sent us the most beeyootifull Christmas card with their photographs on it. Widgy and Tommye make us feel so lucky to be in love!

Freya:
I went to your Ninja Warriers School and took all of them courses. Really, I did. Here's my certificate.

Twins:
Freya, we were both students of Sensei Sass A. Frass who named us valedictorians. Attaining the highest levels of Ninja Training was impurrtant to us. Our page tells how we apply his training to CAD 2000. We are such excellent Feline Ninja Warriors that many cats come to us fur private lessons, but we haven't opened our own school. YET. Purhaps we should because we certainly have much lore fur the advanced student.

Freya:
Henry is really indebted to yur contributions to CAD 2000 an I betcha he'd send lots of students to yu.

Taliesin:
We are convinced that ninja training is impurrtant fur all cats. As ladycats develop their meditation and cattitude skills, they become more feminine. Feline femme fatales.

Freya:
Wells ... ahem ... yes, I do feels more femme fatales now. But, there is something that really worries me. Maybe you ken helps me wiff it, Dwnn. I went to yur Chinese Horoscope page and I hates to say this, buts I found out that I am an Ox. Me, cute liddle Freya, an ugly old Ox. Maybe I is really a Tiger. I feels like a tiger - loving parties and good food and being the center of attention. Cud der be a mistake?

Dwnn:
You could have some traits of both. For example, an Ox is furry focused and determined to succeed (you HAF become a famous reporter).

Freya:
Thank you, Dwnn. And I is focused, isn't I?

Dwnn:
And an Ox likes to live in comfort, enjoying emeralds and jade.

Freya:
Emeralds ... and jade ... luxery ... oh yes, yes, yes. Tell me more!

Dwnn:
An Ox is furry popular socially, and you haf to admit, Freya, that you are liked by cats all ovfur the planet!

Freya:
{Blush} Ah ... my goodness, thank you. Dwnn, just think - maybe the Ox is a Fairy in disquise. Maybe the Ox is a magical being with supernatural powers and charms, a superior being with great beauty and journalistic ability. Maybe he dons the disguise of an Ox to avoid da Pavarottcies taking his pichure. Cud dat be, Dwnn?

Dwnn:
There are many aspects to Chinese Horoscopes not on my page yet. I keep adding throughout the year. One of the topics I want to add during the Year of the Dragon is the impact of Elements on Horoscopes.

Freya:
In a different horoscope I is a Capricorn. And DAT is even worse - a GOAT. Hummphs. Strangely though, the Capricorn woman is ultra-feminine, fliratatious and charming. Now DAT sounds like me. Don't you think so, Dwnn?

Dwnn:
Another thing that I'll be adding to the pages is what happens when Western horoscopes and Chinese horoscopes are combined. Fur example, Freya, A Capricorn Ox is implacable! Fur example, you will fight to save Henry as long as it takes -- you are a Capricorn Ox.

Freya:
I thought dat. I always thought dat I wuz special in some way.

Taliesin:
I'd like to add that we Twins are Rabbits *hehehe* We are tranquil by nature. Imaginative. Sensitive to our environment: hence, our frequent redecoration of upholstery. Rabbits do well in literature, the arts, or as counsellors. Our hoomin bean is a Horse. Horses like a lot of romance and are easily charmed. Our knowledge of this has enabled us to gain TOTAL control ovfur our meowmie.

Dwnn:
Yes, a couple of purrs and head bumps, and she follows our evfur wish. When we are wicked, we just mew and rub up against her, and all if furgiven. What a pushovfur!

Freya:
You two are so smart. I may haff to study some more on that stuff. Taliesin, I knows you were sick but haff made a good recovery. Do you live real healthy now?

Taliesin:
Oh yes. We both exercise. That is extremely impurrtant. Our program involves getting on our purrson's bed around dawn for a lively wrestling match and fight between us Twins. We then chase each other up and down stairs - returning to jump on the bed until meowmie gives up and gets up.

Dwnn:
Frequent exercise is impurrtant. We repeat this program when our purrson first turns off the lights at 11:00 pm and again around 3:00 am.

Taliesin:
We also keep young by regular visits to the Trail's End Bar!!

Dwnn:
You, maybe, they won't let me inside anymore.

Taliesin:
You shouldn't have gotten caught cheating at cards -- four times -- and you certainly shouldn't have stacked chairs on the table, jumped up on them, and started singing.

Freya:
Hahaha - I luff it, I luff it. What other funny stories do you haff to share wiff our readers?

Taliesin:
Dwnn once got shut in the refrigerator. Meowmie put her coffee cream in and was about to leave for her job when she had the feeling that there was something odd. So she went back, opened the frig door and found Dwnn in there eating the salmon mousse she'd prepared for her dinner guests to have later.

Freya:
Hahahaha - that's a good one. Dwnn, don't you haff something to tells on Taliesin?

Dwnn:
I sure do. Taliesin once spent the day in the closet. He went in fur a little nap while meowmie was dressing and got shut in. When she found him that night, he strolled out like it was soooo ordinary.

Freya:
Befur we close, tell me 'bout yur plans fur dis year of 2000.

Twins:
We plan to take more naps than last year. In 1999, there were many days we only slept 16-17 hours. That can't continue!

Dwnn:
I'm furry busy these days getting my Chinese Horoscopes web page ready fur The Year of the Dragon which begins on Feb 5. In addition to the usual information, I'm preparing special predictions fur the coming year. You can all read them for yourselves and fur your hoomins. I think you might pick up something helpful.

Taliesin:
I'm working on a treatise about the influence of Confucius's cat on his philosophical system.

Freya:
Treatease? .... 'bout Confusions and philawsofee? Well - dat is sure wonderfurr. And I betcha it'll be a bestest seller. If it's skeery, maybe it'll even becomes a movie.

Twins:
And there's the reinforcement of our control ovfur our purrson. Frankly, Freya, hoomin beans need a lot of reminders or their little brains forget some of their impurrtant duties to us cats!

Freya:
It has been a real pleasure interviewing you. I feel like I've been to college just talking to you. I admires you lots fur all the things you do. And I hopes all our readers will visit your pages and learn, learn, learn. We cats haff gots to be smart in order to take over in this new millennium.
