As the night comes near midway, Luko calls to the guests.

'Mine friends, if I could have your attention, pleeze. It has become
time
for a very special part of the Jellicle Ball - the Local Cat Chorale
will now perform "Cat Angel" for us. And if we are furry lucky, we might
be blessed with a chance to see our loved ones who have preceeded us to
the Bridge.'

[The Cat Chorale starts to assemble on the stage. It takes a few
minutes, as it is a LARGE group.

They take position, then begin to sing...]

[The singers pause and everyone looks up to the sky. The full moon
shines brightly. At first the surrounding sky seems jet black, then
something starts to appear... it is the Rainbow Bridge! After a minute,
it appears more brightly and distant voices can be heard coming from
it...]

Deerhartz, we kin heer yew

Deerhartz, we kin see yewww

We ar weighting up abuv

Ana we ar still yewr own tru luvz.

[Zorian leads everybody to a stairway against the side wall, allowing
everybody to climb to the roof. A small elevator is hidden in the
corner, allowing the more elderly members of the party to avoid the stairs.]

Milton: Look, Ranger, look! It's Freddie! He's waving down to us. And
he's tossing a fuzzy mouse toy - he's learning to play!

Francesca: There's Miranda! She is just as beautiful and commanding as
always.

Milton, do you see that little orange kitty, playing with Fred's tail?
You never got to meet her, but that's Harri Roadcat. If Harri has been
playing with Fred, then he is in very good paws.

[Ranger then waves at Harri, who waves back.]

Francesca: There's Miranda! She is just as beautiful and commanding as always.

Francesca, just a couple kitties away from Miranda, do you see that
regal silver kitty? That's Her Royal Highness Cleopatra Silvercat. I
suspect that Cleo and Miranda have probably become best buddies by now.

Luko and Jack follow. Luko waves at Hari and Freddie and several
others he knows. Then he sees his sisifur. He smiles as she is looking
well now.

A lovely white cat named Daisy-chan with green eyes and a little green
snake pendant waves and says "hello Luko and Gentle Jack! We wait for
Meowmie. This is Aunti Mabel (a stately Beagle waves, she is obviously
a fine lady), This is Roscoe (a perfect Himalayan waves), Face (a
lovely black cat waves), Iowna (an athletic looking Beagle) and Cash (a
country gent with mixed Beagle background waves). We'll be here for
Meowmie 2foot anna Daddy-2foot".

[Lurking hoomin Anti Sandy looks up at the Brij and sees her RB family. There's Sundance with Rebecca and Cassidy, and also Doc, Hickory, and Jennifer who came before them. There's one more little tabby guy with them... could it be? It's Sneakers, Anti
Sandy's very first kitty!

Sundance and Rebecca look all around for Pitoonya. When they spot her, they wave and send her their love.]

[Sammy Redcat looks fondly at all of his departed loved ones at the
Rainbow Bridge. He waves at Unka Serge and Mme Anais, Amelia, Tiger,
Miss Violette, and so many other dear, dear friends.]
