The Truth?

In the book...The Book of Elsewhere by Jacqueline West, Olive has been figuring out many different new things but she doesn't know for sure to believe them or not. Olive goes back into the Linden Street painting and goes to see Morton to talk to him, but ends up fighting with him again....but this time the people in the other houses come out and talk to Olive about the cats and the man who put them there. I think that Olive needs to talk to the cats to either find out the truth or maybe bribe them or something like that because if she doesn't she won't be closer to finding out the truth. What I think will happen next is that she might talk to the cats because when a scene like this happens, usually the next part is having to face those people.
