A sample of the cat dialog--
Narration: What should I say to the cat?
@addChoice "Reassure her."
Narration: I tell the little cat that thought he has had a harrowing experience, she is safe now.
@addChoice "Admire her."
Narration: I tell the little cat that she is still a very pretty lady, even though she is covered in soot. Her inner dignity shines through.
@addChoice "Just make friendly, nonsense noises."
Narration: I relate the many little absurdities that we humans inevitably feel compelled to communicate to cats. It tell her repeatedly how small she is.
@stop
Holmes is 500% jealous of how much attention Watson is giving the cat, but he's being mature about it.
