Hello, my name is Duchess.  I also go by chaser of string, catcher of toy mice, and destroyer of feather toys. I was born into the royal cat family, the Pawtagues, as Princess Mimi. However, I was whisked away by the enemies of my family, the Catulets, and was dumped on the streets. I survived by being observant and crafty, relying on my beauty to coax my human victims into giving me the freshest cans of food. When I was about seven months old, I fell in love. A young male cat named Sir Thomas O’Malley, who also learned to survive like I had. As I would come to learn, Thomas got into trouble. A lot. He even caught the attention of some human mobsters. They cornered us in an alley, and shot a BB pellet right at Thomas. I jumped in front of him, catching the BB in my right arm. I currently still have a limp from my battle wound. But it was all worth it. I was pregnant a few months later. Thomas and I were over joyed. But we caught the attention of some worried humans. They came to find us. Thomas and I ran underneath a fence, but because of my pregnant belly, I got stuck, and while Thomas was crying for me, I was loaded onto an ARF transport. I was so worried, but on April 23rd, I came into my new foster home. Four days later I gave birth to five beautiful kittens, and saw Thomas in every one of them. I was dubbed Duchess, after they discovered my royalty (I couldn’t hide how regal I am). And so, I have been waiting here, watching my children, each a prince and princess in their own rights, raising and preparing them to rule and conquer their new kingdoms. I am now ready for my kingdom, ready to handle any and all cat related business worthy of a duchesses touch
