People and fur people who like The Leader Otis,
It’s Thomas. Oh my gosh! There she is, just ten feet away! All this time I have been in the presence of royalty and I was not even aware!
It all makes sense now. Leader Otis must have known that Mama Cat was The Queen. The Cult of Otis needed a knight, not only to lead the crusade to keep cats happy, healthy, and safely confined, but also to protect Her Majesty! This is a knight’s greatest honor! I am so happy right now!
What was that? I heard something! Oh my gosh! Does the LF(W)DU know that The Queen is here? Are they, at this very moment, secretly training a bunch of regicidal Rottweilers?
Well, they shall not succeed! Not so long as this knight draws breath! To The Mongrel Horde I say, “Do your worst!” All who threaten Her Majesty shall be slain by my mighty blades!
Oh, my heart swells with pride at this great honor. I must bow before Her Majesty and pledge my allegiance to her! Your Majesty! I am at your service! Your will, my paw!
Wait… Your Majesty… why are you growling?
Thomas Out
*sigh*
Even a Knight can’t get no respect!
Her Majesty is a bit grumpy, but I am still sworn to protect Her, Katnip Lounge! – Thomas
Sir Thomas, the best thing ever is the fact you treated Mama Cat as a Queen from the beginning, well before you overheard the fact of her royal position. But remember, Her Royal Highness had walked among the commoners in the world without walls for many a day, keeping her status a secret to protect herself. We wonder if she is prepared for your knightly devotion after the trials she has endured. May we suggest that you keep your allegiance to Her Majesty to yourself, perhaps confiding in Leader Otis as he is in the position to assist you. Plus, he might appreciate the distraction. As Her Highness, Mama Cat, relaxes among the Cult of Otis, then you might make your loyalty known. But springing your knowledge of her rank to soon might only raise her hackles and cause her to strike out in suspicion. Good Luck, Sir Thomas. Your quest is fraught with danger, not the least of which is Her Ladyship, herself.
Hmmmm… I will ponder your advice Mistletoe and Hitch, but it is hard not to be in awe when I am in Her presence! – Thomas
Aw Sir Thomas, Knight of the O(tis) Table, you are so special! When the knight was ready, the queen arrived. Don’t worry about her growling, royalty has a reputation of being touchy. I have no doubt that your brand of deference to the queen will win her heart one day. (maybe even before a certain pushy brother.. hee hee)
Do I notice in that one picture that you are still doing that thing where you lift the one side of your lip where your tooth was removed? It’s so cute when you do that!
I hope you are right, Andrea. Ummm… yes. My lip still kinda does that sometimes. I am not sure how to make it stop… – Thomas
I’m sure Mama Cat will learn to appreciate your gallantry, Sir Thomas. Perhaps you’ll even be the “gateway kitty” who teaches her that it’s okay to make friends with Brother Henry. 🙂
Do you think so, Rhiannon!? I am not sure a simple knight can actually be friends with The Queen though. My only wish is to serve her honorably… and not get bopped on the head by her. – Thomas
Oh sir Thomas that is so wonderful you have an added mission. Remember don’t look the queen in the eye she hates that.
I will try to remember, Peacelovenwhiskers! – Thomas
Sweet Thomas has gotten so much friendlier and more curious since the Guardians took him in. Wish Mamma Cat would see that.
I have, Pezcita? Thank you for saying so! – Thomas
ummmm…I’m kind’a thinking that MC has all the boys watching their p’s and q’s so to meow
The Queen rules with an iron paw, Savannah! – Thomas
