This was another excellent chapter, Heidi! I like the plot twist and learning more about Mr. Serval and his family. Looking forward to the Chapter 8!

We are relieved that Mr. Serval has his memory back, and he is reunited with Clementine. Jasper Kitten and Critters, we are ready to help you if you need it. Be very careful. Those men down on the dock sound very mean and nasty.

We have a new little brother. His name is Travis. He's four months old, 13.8 pounds and he's an Australian Shepherd Terrier cross. He still has his puppy teeth so they are very sharp and he's willing to gnaw on bad men for you Jasper Kitten. He doesn't like bad men because one of them dumped him on the highway and drove away! Our mom and dad rescued him though and now he has all of us.

We're on 24 hour call for you J Kitten and Critters. Your friends, William, Emily, Julie Rae the Cat and Travis

Thank you, Lois & Critters! Gosh! A new little brother! Congrats on giving Travis a Furever Home! How wonderful. We so appreciate the ongoing support of the Bowersock Furbabies for their support and backup. Those sharp puppy teeth might just come in handy.

Anytime Heidi! You just let us know when and we’ll be ready for action. Young Travis is practicing chewing everything in sight in preparation of assisting Jasper Kitten and Critters. Julie Rae is sharpening her claws. Emily will make sure they are all ready to go and William will lead the way! T

The plot thickens, the mystery continues...I'm glad the critters are OK, and that Cecil Serval has regained his memory.

Well written, Heidi. I'm already looking forward to the next instalment.

Now, this is a nice plot twist. Arya and I are glad that Clementine and Cecil have been reunited. Now the critter detectives, with the help of Clementine, and perhaps Papa Cecil, will be hot on the trail of the criminal perps, by the docks, to find the missing sister and mother.
