A KITCHEN CAT SPEAKS
Liam Gillick

There will be a cat that can speak. All the people of the town will be very proud of their speaking cat.

People will come every day to hear what it has to say.

It will be very cynical but never mean.

It will see everything and understand it all.

After a while people will only come on the weekends or drop by on the way home from work or school.

During quiet times people will come and read all the newspapers to the cat or surf the Internet and find good stories about world affairs that might be of interest.

One morning it will rain.

Things will have been very quiet in the world and the cat will have nothing to say. You might even think that the cat will be mildly depressed.
