Leonard (My Life as a Cat)

Q offers to drive Olive to Yellowstone and works on convincing Norma. He appeals to her desire to spend more time with Olive. While Olive packs her bags, Leonard feels melancholy and reflects on how his species prioritizes logic over feeling. Leonard wishes he had some kind of memento to leave for Olive. He finds her a nice pebble and leaves it on her pillow. 

Q ushers them into his Winnebago motor home. Norma shows up with her rucksack and recommends Olive think of a good explanation for her mom.

Leonard feels alive on the road trip. Olive looks at the map for roadside attractions. Time is still tight but they don’t want Norma to get suspicious. Leonard thinks about how this road trip is both more stressful and more enjoyable than his trip by light. Norma keeps insisting they stop, first for biscuits, then for a long walk in the forest. They stop at a campsite and Q breaks out his ukulele despite Norma’s protests. They make up a silly theme song for the aquarium.
