Haw youse !!

I am a perfectly bootiful wee cat, long haired, with feline aristocratic connections in terms of a probable Burmese connection somewhere in my very recent ancestry, before I was rescued from a year living in the wild by my new humans, - sadly abandoned by my previous humans, - so just watch it, ken, in terms of how you refer to my brilliant wee name, otherwise I'll come across and mollicate you, ken, and be warned, my claws are very sharp.
