Hello! I am country girl living in the big city. Where are you from?
Speaker 2
I grew up completely different, in the city. Where do you like to visit?
Speaker 1
I have one dog and enjoy visiting dog parks with him cross-country.
Speaker 2
My cat just gave birth to a kitten. I love seeing animals at the zoo.
Speaker 1
I'm very athletic and run when I'm not having my favorite drink, which is coffee.
Speaker 2
Iced tea is what I prefer to drink. Have you done anything fun recently?
Speaker 1
I am a local artist and recenlt held a major drawing con.
Speaker 2
Interesting! I just colored my hair, as well as got it cut.
Speaker 1
Cool! What's a fun fact about yourself?
Speaker 2
I have one pet, a cat. She goes with me everywhere, along with her kitten.
Speaker 1
Oh okay, I just have my dog. My best friend.

Speaker 1
How are the kittens doing today?
Speaker 2
They are wobbling around here and there but mostly sleeping a lot! They are the most adorable things I've ever seen!!
Speaker 1
How cute? All baby animals are so adorable? How many kittens do you have?
Speaker 2
I have one from my cat and my friends cat also had kittens so we thought we would put them all together for a few weeks to let them play and get adjusted to the world. How's your dog doing? You go to any interesting spots in the city?
Speaker 1
He is doing just fine. He really likes going to dog parks and play with other dogs.  I also started taking him with me when I go running or hiking.
Speaker 2
Thats amazing! He must be loving all that exercise! I always wondered about dog parks... like if the dogs would actually get along there or just bark at each other haha
Speaker 1
Haha I thought about that too before I got my dog. Surprisingly most of them get along just fine.  I guess all those dog owners know their dogs and they don't bring the ones that bark a lot. When are you going to the zoo?
Speaker 2
I haven't decided on going anytime too soon because of the kittens. I know they're safe in their mammas paws but I can't bare to leave them alone yet. The zoo is the one place I can't take mamma and her kitten so I've been holding off on going. I miss seeing all the apes and giraffes though!
Speaker 1
You are so sweet for taking care of all those kittens so much. I am sure they will became more independent soon and you will be able to do more things. I guess it is like having a baby or babies haha Do you need to feed them anything or does mama cat take care of everything?
Speaker 2
haha I love them too much. They are more independent than I want them to be. (I am so the crazy cat lady!) Luckily mama cat (Spiral) is nursing her kitten well and shes even helped nurse my friends kittens!
Speaker 1
That's great! Not all animals will accept other animal's babies. Are you just watching a lot of TV since you are staying home with them?
Speaker 2
I know! I thought that our cats wouldnt get along when they were younger but they actually got along famously and have known each other nearly since birth. I actually have been watching a lot of tv and playing board games with my friend- she's been staying over too.

I grew up in the city. I have a cat who just had kittens. I like going to the zoo. I take care of my responsibilities. I like iced tea. I just cut and colored my hair. I don't know much about dog parks. I have too many cats. My cats name is spiral. I have a house. I watch tv. I play bored games. I have friends.
Speaker 1
My art might be chosen for an art gallery 
Speaker 2
That's so cool.  What did you create? I've only known one other person whose work got into a gallery.
Speaker 1
I paint landscape scenes with UFOs in them.  It's my commentary on the beauty of nature and the invasiveness of technology on nature.
Speaker 2
Wow, that is original!  No wonder your work got chosen.  I see your angle on it, why did you choose extra-terrestrial tech and not ours to make the commentary?  
Speaker 1
I wanted to underscore how foreign we as humans often are to the places our communities and industries bleed into.  Also, I felt like the UFOs would be startling and maybe thought-provoking in terms of thinking about how everything on earth, and the universe as a whole, fits together.  Also, UFOs are easy to paint.
Speaker 2
Deep thinker and pragmatic too, if anyone deserves to get exhibited, someone like that does.  Well done!  Anyway, what's your next piece going to be about? 
Speaker 1
I'm going to take my dog with me on a trip to Teddy Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota.  I'm going to try to do some painting there, though I'll have to see the terrain before I know what I'd ultimately like to paint.  I've never been to North Dakota so I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 2
Me neither, but the pictures I've seen look impressive.  I don't have a dog, I'm more of a cat person.  Although, I do regret not having a pet that can accompany on walks into the countryside. 
Speaker 1
What do you think you're going to do with all your kittens?  Are you going to give them away eventually?
Speaker 2
That's a good question.  They are so cute it's hard to give them away, but I don't have room for so many cats.  Are you interested in having one?
Speaker 1
Hmm, that's a good question.  I think I'd have to pass because I couldn't bring the cat everywhere I take my dog.  But I have a few family members who might be willing if you need more taken off your hands.
Speaker 2
Yes please ask them.  They grow so quickly and it won't be long when they are ready to go to a new home.  Well what have you planned for later today?

I have family members that like cats. I'm very athletic. I run. My favorite drink is coffee. I'm a local artist. I exercise outdoors. I paint UFO landscapes. My art has a deeper meaning about technology. My art examines the unfamiliarity of humans in the natural world. I find painting UFOs easy. I'm going to be starting a new art piece. I'm going on a trip to North Dakota to a national park. I've never been to North Dakota before.

I play bored games. I have friends. I've never been to North Dakota.
Speaker 1
I spoke to my sister, she would like a kitten.
Speaker 2
Is she looking for a specific breed? Would she be interested in more than one?
Speaker 1
Yes, actually. She is specifically looking for a Siamese. And potentially a breeding pair. Is that something you could offer?
Speaker 2
Not that type specifically but I do know some one that has pure breeds and might have what you are looking for. Does your sister have a price range that she would like to stay in?
Speaker 1
Yes, she can really only afford probably $300-500 for each kitten at the very most. Do you think you could work with a budget like that?
Speaker 2
I will have to check, that is midrange so there is a strong possibility that he works within that price point. If not are there any other breeds your sister will consider?
Speaker 1
I know she did express some interest in the Persian breeds as well, do you have any of those? 
Speaker 2
He does have those but I am afraid those are too expensive for how much your sister is willing to spend. He does have some Oriental Shorthair's that would be at the top of her range but doable.
Speaker 1
I'm afraid I'm more of a dog person, so I'm not really familiar with that breed. I would really have to get in touch with her and see what her thoughts are, if that is alright?
Speaker 2
Absolutely. Let me contact him and get a list together with all of his available breeds and their pricing. Then your sister can look it over and decide.
Speaker 1
Thanks, that would be great. I appreciate it. What can you tell me about the Oriental Shorthair that I could relay to her in the meantime?
Speaker 2
I think it is your best bet. Not only do they resemble the Siamese in appearance but this breed is incredibly fun loving and playful.

Speaker 1
My sister and I met up with your friend to pick up the kitten and she loves it, thank you!
Speaker 2
Excellent! Let me know if you know anybody else that wants a cat
Speaker 1
Will do! I wish I could offer to take one, but you know... Maybe my sister will want another one, though, to keep the first one company!
Speaker 2
I bet your dog would hate them, too! Do you take your dog on trips?
Speaker 1
I do when it's a short trip, but I won't be able to take him to North Dakota, so he'll stay in a pet hotel. Normally my sister would care for him when I'm away, but that won't be possible anymore. I don't suppose you've ever taken your cat on a trip?
Speaker 2
No, too much work. I have a friend who checks up on them daily and I let her stay at my house. I wonder what North Dakota is like
Speaker 1
A lot of open space, which will be a nice change of pace from the city. Been feeling a bit suffocated with all the people and traffic lately. Looking forward to painting outside there. Have you been to many states?
Speaker 2
Not really, I stayed in the city my whole life. Any ideas for your new art piece?
Speaker 1
That's too bad -- you should pick a few places for a road trip this year! I haven't decided what I'm going to paint yet, but I already have a color scheme in mind. I want to use dark shades, which I find really challenging compared to bright colors. It's tough to make a painting pop if you're working with brown or black or gray only.
Speaker 2
Will there be UFO's in it? I am interested in a road trip, somewhere warm
Speaker 1
Definitely UFOs, but I want to try something subtle this time. Like you have to look carefully to realize what it is. Not sure if I can do it well! For your trip, perhaps you can try southern Louisiana and head towards Florida. A lot of great food along the coast there.
Speaker 2
I'd enjoy that if someone came with me. Your new piece will be related to the natural world, then?
