he ate one pump. he poops a thousand.
Pump Poop Cat is an orange tabby whose middle is a green capsule. a pump goes in the front, it gets digested for about four seconds, and it comes out the back as a pile of small green capsules. every capsule is a tiny pump, and the pile is the whole supply of $PPCAT.
he does not sell, because he never bought anything. he just eats what the market leaves on the floor and hands it back out in a size everyone can carry. he is not proud of the pile. he is a cat. he simply walked away from it.
a pump shows up somewhere on the chain and he eats it. whole. no chewing, no questions, tail straight up the entire time. he has never once looked at a chart before eating. he looks at the chart after, the way a cat looks at anything: briefly, and then he leaves.
his middle is a real capsule, green half, white half, one shine on top. inside it the big pump gets divided into small pumps of equal size. it takes about four seconds. nobody knows how it works and he will not explain it because he is a cat and he does not owe you that.
out the back comes a pile of small green capsules. that pile is the supply. everyone gets to pick one up, nobody gets the whole thing, and he keeps making more as long as somebody keeps feeding him pumps. he does not bury it. he wants you to see it.
the knob winds while you hold it. release inside the green zone and he guarantees a prize you do not have yet. release anywhere else and you get whatever he has ready, which is sometimes just brown, because he felt like it.
space bar works too. hold, watch the needle, let go in the green.
the back half. this is where the business happens. he does not look back at it.
you got all eight. he digested a whole pump just for you and then left the room, which is how cats say thank you. the pile is yours now. carry it carefully.
