Thanks for the CFS (Cats Feigning Singing) there in the Courtyard of the Almost Idyllic Inn.  There must have been some inner turmoil to have caused the carousing; In one of their Nine lives it is possible they sang - upright of course - and that they provided the voices of the choir in Carmina Burana.  I must admit it comes to mind, Miss Blue, as I study the peculiar and savage expressions they exhibit.  The agonizing truth, Miss Blue, cannot be avoided.  They were singing in Italian, Latin, and German.  Cat/Swiss - had you known the language - wouldn't have helped anyway.I have received the recipe for the elegant soup you mentioned when we last met, Miss Blue.  Also referred to as CFS - Carrot Fennel Soup - an odd coincidence, don'cha think?  Anyway, I have always wanted to slice up the Fennel Bulb.  My friends in the Village will be properly impressed with my many culinary skills in addition to my involvement with the Senator and the Rep. And that's the tall and short of it!
