I imagine the original trio will probably stay indoors for this, but I have this scenario in my head of the Construction Workers’ “Little Princess” distracting the old woman from Sophie long enough to spirit the latter away.
I wonder if she tried to escape or if the cage was the default. I wonder if she’s ever petted or if she’s just a decoration; the woman did initially say how beautiful Sophie was. And, while solitary confinement is evil and inhumane, at least this isn’t a collector situation wherein she’s in a cage with hostile cats who haven’t been declawed. Argh. I’m going to go hug Zoë (my cat who was recued from a collector situation).
That’s what Violet is for. She must be just off-screen.
