"Well, I wouldn't say the world, exactly." You give him a funny look. "That's not much to go on."
"World'sabigplace." Scat stares out at nothing. "Bigger'n'wecanunderstand."
"How do you know?"
"Betyouthoughttheworldendedoutsideyourturf." He looks back to you. To your surprise, he has an incredibly crooked grin that nearly splits his little face in half. "Nobodythinksoutsidetheboxtheywerebornin. EvenCharlie, evenThimble. 'Speciallyyou."
You're not exactly sure what he's getting at, so you just wait.
"There'recatswhocanthough." He turns his head and watches the glowing eyes of the cars speed past each other in the distance. "Mommaalwaystoldme'boutthem. Nomads."
"Nomads," you repeat quietly. Why does that word fill you with emotions you can't name?
"Travelers." Scat nods. "Theyseealot. Cities. Towns. Roads. Forests. Lakes."
Your eyes widen.
Scat stands up and faces you, speaking slowly (that is, normally). "So, if a nomad is here..."
"They can show me where home is!" You jump up as well, ignoring your back leg's stumbling. "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
"Thoughtyou'dask." Scat somehow does that twoleg motion you've taken to mean indifference or confusion with his shoulders. You think it's called a shrug. "Decidedtostepinfinally."
"Scat, this is perfect." Your bad mood is hardly a memory now. You could almost start dancing like Thimble. "Do you think one will be here?"
"Maybe. Dunno. Gottacombthecity."
"Well, I don't have anything else to do!" you almost shout in excitement. Your voice reverberates and you automatically flinch.
Scat isn't grinning anymore, but he looks quite pleased with himself. "What'stheplan?"
Call for Charlie to help.
Ask around the neighborhood.
Go down to the city.

"Call for Charlie to help." She's sure to know a nomad, or a cat who knows a nomad, right? Besides, she's queen of the streets. Nobody will deny information to her.
