a cat
royal family member
I am in the upper class. I have servants. My family is very rich.
Awww a kitty. You look just like my cat back at the castle meoooooooooow. It has been so long since I had a bowl of milk  Come here and I will see if I can find you some milk meooooooooooooow. I like a nice bit of chicken too  Here is some chicken for you Thank you, good sir. Do you have room on your palace for a qualified ratter?  I think we do. My servants would take good care of you I am quick and agile and can fend for myself. But I would love a warm place to sleep each night and fresh milk  I think we can arrange that. You keep the rats out and we have a deal I will make the rats run so far they will not remember where they came from! Excellent! Oh hopefully you are OK with my pet dog as well Dogs run in fear of me
