You'd know - if one got it, and it was untreated, every one
would get it. And when you have a bunch of critters running
around the house with red eyes, bumping into things and
trying to wash their faces all the time, you know it.

Quite a similarity, but these are high-class expensive waifs
and strays, and each one ends up costing close to a grand
not including maintenance, so quite a difference, too. The
cat breeder has a really good deal here, as she gets Annie
to pay the expenses.

The versions of Bahasa (Malayan and Indonesian for "language")
are more interchangeable, and speakers of the various forms
can usually communicate, more so than say French and Italian
speakers.
