Meeting Mafioso Cat

What did you say Punk? I was horrified; my heart fell with a clunk. It was the ultimate hoodiest craziest out-of-control king. Mafioso Cat. He is usually the last one people see before they land in a black trunk. I began apologizing almost immediately, because I know he is quite Phat. He told his minions to bring me over, and two of them got on each side. I knew I could not outrun them, and frankly, there was nowhere to hide. I went with my head down, thinking I was going to be thrown in a ditch. Mafioso Cat said “Why did you think we were talking to you, you little Twitch?” I threw myself at him, begged for mercy, pledging him my allegiance for life. He's probably never before seen this loyalty from an unknown house wife. Mafioso Cat threw back his head and laughed until he was hiccupping now. I was just kidding, Lady, he said with a dapper gentleman’s kittenish bow. So when he got arrested and thrown in the slammer I brought him some fish. He asked me to bring kibble, and I baked a shank into a casserole dish. Now we share the same cell, my godfather, Mafioso Cat and me. Happy to work in the kitchen when we are not in Cell number Three.
