Old cats often have an endless supply of stories to recount. When one has nine lives in which to adventure and explore, it would be foolish to not take advantage of it. Misty has travelled all over and seen all sorts of things and escaped all sorts of perils, not that one would think it, to look at her.

Some of her stories are perhaps a little hard to believe – did she really fight off a tremendous mountain gryphon? Did she really pluck a scale from the back of a fiery dragon prince? Did she really escape a shipwreck and swim miles back to shore?

Maybe she did, long ago, but from the twinkle in her eyes sometimes I suspect there is a little more drama added to the tales as she recalls them, even if there’s a grain of truth.
