I am a quick and agile creature. I like to eat rats and mice and also milk, specially milk. I like to run all over the wildlands. I am afraid of dogs and tigers.
meow 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
