Zombie arrives at his house from the pet store with his new cat.

Zombie

Zombie

Walks to kitchen
Cat

Zombie
Pours food into bowl
I should probably eat too before I get hungry and eat you…ha…ha
Cat

Meow Meow Meow
Zombie

Cat
Walks to door
Meow
Zombie
Err am I supposed to walk you?
Cat
Meow?
Zombie
Errr are you sure? Do you come with an instruction manuel errr something?
Cat
Meow. Meow?
Zombie
Puts leash on cat and opens door
Well errr lets go I guess.
Cat
Cautiously walks outside
Zombie

Cat
Tugs on leash

Zombie
Errr should I loosen your collar?
Takes leash off
Cat
Takes off down the street
Zombie

Disappears
Zombie
Ugh…now what?…stupid kitty.

Looks annoyed
Uhh yeah?  I don’t believe I stuttered, or did I?
Zombie
Looks confused
Errr…no…but…errr that cat you have there errr is kinda mine
Boy
Umm no he’s not. He’s mine.
Zombie
Errr look kid, that there is my errr kitty. I just brought home about errr half an hour ago. So if you can errr just give it back to me, I’ll err be on my way.
Boy
Look. I don’t know who you are or where you cam from and quite frankly you are not making any sense for this hear cat is my Billy. MY BIILY. Do you understand?
Cat
Meow
Zombie
Startled
Errr….
Boy
Now if you excuse me, I have to go feed my Billy now. Uhh…good day.
Walks towards house
Zombie
No wait!
Boy
What now?
Zombie
Kid, that there errr is my kitty so if I errr have to ask you again to give it errr back…I errr will have no other choice but to errr eat you…and im sure your errr mother will not like that and I errr don’t want any problems with her.
Boy
Standing with cat in arms, looking annoyed
So you say Billy’s you’re cat then?
Zombie
Errr yes?
Boy
Well then what is his name?
Zombie
Errr….Errr…Kitty?
Cat
Looks up
Meow?
Zombie
Happily
So you see, errr its mine
Takes cat away from boy
Errr goodbye
Boy
Wait a minute! Not so fast there…Billyyy!
Cat
Looks at boy
Meow?
Boy
Takes cat back
So you see, there’s really no proof who’s cat this belongs too. You say he’s yours and I say he’s mine. So I propose we have a race, from here to the park down the street. Whoever wins gets to keep Billy. Agreed?
Zombie
Confused
But…errr…ughhh fine.
