There’s plenty of room here for a couple of couches, maybe some shelves, and a TV . . .

Rosie

Oh, my! What happened!

Oh Yay! The curse has been lifted! I’m back to normal.

Rosie

Pickles

I still like camping, but can’t cook because I’m a cat now.

Rosie

Are you litter trained?

Pickles

Of course!

Rosie

Well, then come on in!
