Puzzle 196

Puzzle 196
Are you ready for a new puzzle? Enjoy!

To newcomers: Read the rules before you join,please!

Here are the rules:
1. You may only guess one letter at a time.

2. After you have guessed a letter, you must wait for another player to guess a letter before you can go again. (see also rule #9)

3. The host of the game responding to a guess does not count as a turn. Should you choose a letter, then receive a response from the member host, you must wait for the next member to guess a letter.

4. One point will be awarded for each correct letter, 2 points for vowels.

5. Only six misses are allowed in the game.

6. If you wish to guess the phrase, send it to me via Pet Talk personal email. [This is accessible via the 'PM' or 'Profile' buttons on any of my posts.]
DO NOT post it on the forum If you wish to guess a letter, post it on the forum.

7. You must have submitted a correct letter to submit your solution. Unlike letters, if you submit a wrong solution, you are disqualified from continuing in that puzzle

8. The player who correctly guesses the phrase wins the game. If no one has guessed it correctly after six then the player with the most points wins the game.

9. Only 5 guesses allowed in total until the host updates the puzzle. Any guess after 5, before the next update, won't be counted as a guess. And as always, someone else has to guess a letter before you can guess another letter.

And here is what you win...you get to create the next puzzle. (Should you win the game, and do not
care to host the next puzzle, you may pass your puzzle play to the member with the next highest points)

Here is the puzzle:
"-------- --- --- ----- ---- ----- ----- --- -------, ----- ---- ---- --- ---------- ------. --- ---, -- ------, ----- ------ - ----. -- -- ---- --- ------ ---------, ---- ------ ----- -- --- ------- - --- ---- --- -- -- -- -- --- -- ----- -- ------- -- --- ---- --- ---- -- --------."
~ ------ ------

Congrats Koxka!!!
Here is the puzzle

"Although all cat games have their rules and rituals, these vary with the individual player. The cat, of course, never breaks a rule. If it does not follow precedent, that simply means it has created a new rule and it is up to you to learn it quickly if you want the game to continue."

Wait a minute.... I'm looking for a quote that makes sense out of the main text. Not much english books at home and related to animals 2 or 3...uuhhh:D

Koxka --

I just finished a novel that had an account that made me think of these puzzles. It's rather long, but I thought it would be great for one of these puzzles otherwise. Would you like me to email or PM you the extract, or would you like me to host the next puzzle for you? (Sorry if this sounds pushy... I generally have a hard time figuring out a good quote for these, so got excited when I read this one.) If you're interested, PM me or answer in this post, ok?

Sorry too late

AmberLee thanks a lot, I would accepted your proposal yesterday, but it happens I have just finished the quote, well to be exact is an story, but it worth the work it gave me.

I hope you all will enjoy the tale as much I did.
