The figure in bars 9-16 is a figure taken from the dance Seann Truibhas Willichan expanded to 3 couples. The people who end up in 2^nd place have to be awake for this figure.

The name of the dance comes from when one of our cats disappeared in the house> for several days. We nearly went crazy trying to find him until one day he just appeared. We are very glad to have him back.
