The Governess and the Governess's cat are on their way back from a dinner party, and the cat is clearly drunk. The cat, however, does not want to be left in the care of a friend who is in love with the cat. In fact, if the friend were to kill the cat, the cat would also die, since it would be close enough to the friend that she would be able to see her friend's death. This is not the first time that the cat has tried to kill a friend, but it is the most extreme example of the kind of cruelty that can be inflicted on a cat.
