 That's like in the world of nicknames. That's the best nickname I've come across. My mother, Essie Perkins, and my father, Fred Perkins, they gave me that name when I was born. But that's my name. My name is Mama Cat. When she was in her early 20s, Mama Cat spent a lot of nights hanging out at T's Place. When you walk into the door, that's my spot right there. It's on the right-hand side. Every time I got there, that was my spot. Me and my friend, Melanie Takui Sanders, we was together.
