[A soft breeze blows as a pearly glow spreads in the sky to the east,
over the ocean. A small brown tabby times her arrival at the podium
to coincide with the sun's edge appearing on the horizon.]

She whispers "auf wiedersehen, deeer frends".

[As the last echoes of the Final Calling of Names fade away, all of
the gathered kitties and guests are silent and meditative. There are
many teary eyes.

The first rays of the approaching sunrise start to light the sky. The
clouds that had been covering most of the sky part and the light fog
that formed with the night blows away in response to the gentle dawn
winds.
Those who look into the morning sky are treated to a faint vision of
a rainbow-colored arch - could this be the Rainbow Bridge? Lining the
edges of the bridge are kitties and others missing from our lives. A
long-eared Springer Spaniel looks down, and Amelia see her and waves
a greeting - "be safe, Maggie!". Cleopatra catches a glimpse of DD
and waves a paw in her direction. Other kitties catch sight of their
loved ones, and meows of greeting can be heard from everycat. The soft
sounds of a catly chorale can be be heard.

All of the critters visible from the Bridge are waving and meowing
words of encouragement, strength and love. As the sun continues to
rise in the eastern sky the vision of the Rainbow Bridge begins to
fade. The music of the chorale is the last to disappear.]

Cleo then speaks to the assembled crowd:
My brothers and sisters, cousins and friends, we have been truly
blessed. Let us always keep the memories of our loved ones safe
in our hearts. We will see them again another day, when the time
is right. Until then it is our responsibility to comfort and protect
each other and our humans. Let's allow love to be our byword until
we next gather to celebrate the Jellicle Ball.

Puddi Cat bows her head during the final calling, rememfuring all her
friends and family who have gone on before her, tears trickle down her
cheeks.

<Wascal is relieved that Puddi Cat has so many Kleenex because he has
run out of his bright white handkerchiefs. He waves to a large rough-
looking dog, completely surrounded by cats>
"Hewo Konrad; I seee dat yoo r stil protecing us barn-cats. Yooo iz da
bestest."

<WooToo is staring at a short pretty blond lady who is also
surrounded, by dogs and cats. It looks as if she never crosses the
bridge, just stays on this side and greets those new arrivals who have
no one to greet them. She waves at WooToo and blows a kiss>
"We GODDA tell mine Uncl Bill dat wee seen Meowmie. Hee missss hur sew

with a neat little white boy Persian, who is standing in the crowd
