Mama knows better.

It’s code for “Stumpy will be round at Midnight with your ‘goods’. Leave the back door unlocked, along with seventy treats on an unmarked dish.”

I used to have a lovely Hermes typewriter. However, in the morning, I would find the keys all jammed up. It took a while to find out it was the Siamese who was a frustrated author. Eventually, when I could afford it, I bought an unjammable IBM Selectric typewriter. I was curious to see if the Siamese would try it. I left it on all night with paper in the platen. Occasionally I heard typing during the night. In the morning, over coffee, I studied what he had done. I was disappointed, of course. The plots were thin, it was very cat-centric, the characters were weak and conversed in onomatopoeia. That’s Siamese for you. :)
