The chapter opens with a description of how a cat thinks a cat is doing. It's not clear what the cat is thinking, but it seems to be thinking that the cat has come to have a chat with a girl. The cat doesn't know what the girl is talking about, but she does know that the girl isn't a friend of hers, so she's worried about what she'll say to the girl when she gets home. She's also worried about the girl's reaction to the cat's presence in her room. She wonders if the girl would be upset if she found out that she'd been talking to a cat instead of a girl, and she wonders if she would be more upset if the cat found out she was talking to another girl instead of the girl she was supposed to be talking to. She also wonders if it would be better for the girl if she gave the cat an extension so that she could talk to the other girl while the cat was away.
