Kitty
Finally, something interesting happen, we had just finished selling the good we obtain from a Navy ship off the Boston cost when I spotted her on my railing. She was the queerest cat I have ever seen, she is a black panther, at least I think she is a panther, with a white star on her chest and pierce earrings. When I saw the earring I assumed she was the pet of some pompous fool, but I was wrong. Now the ideal of meeting a human who is arrogant fool who is all powerful really agitates me, so I was going to show “the fool” who really had power by killing his cat. Sarcastically I apologized to the cat, “Sorry little one but I don’t like your master, and so I am going to kill you.” To my surprise, the cat responded to my apology, “I have no master and I am only looking for a ride, your ship intrigued me so I decide to hitch a ride. Beside who are you calling little one, I am probably older then you.” That cheered me up right away; she was arrogant but not flashy. The more I examined her I realized that she was strong, but did not have a superior air to her. I granted her passage on my ship and in return she is to be one of my crew for one year.
