Growing up in Japan he was the cat at a school for human ninjas.

His family had been cats in the temple for five generations ever since his great, great, great, great grandmother was adopted by one of the acolytes.

He watched their ways … their stealthiness … their commitment to justice.

He learned all the techniques of a human ninja and applied them to the natural stealthiness of a cat where the techniques became even more powerful.

The runt of his litter, he was teased and taunted by other cats for his small stature … until one day a group of his classmates were chasing birds.

He sat still and silent while the other cats darted around as the birds flew up out of their grasp.

Suddenly he sprinted across a field faster than anyone knew, and swatted a bird, several of its feathers exploding in the air before it flew away.

His friends looked on in amazement … no one knew such speed could explode from such a small cat body. From that day on he was known as Mr. Feathers, from those feathers that flew in the air.

Trouble was born on a rooftop on a hot summer night in Istanbul. Her mother liked the rooftops. They were cool and quiet. A good place to deliver a litter.
 
Below in the streets, thousands of cats roamed freely. The humans of Istanbul revered their felines, treating them with the highest esteem. On every street, humans left food and drink for their cats.
 
Within a few months, Trouble and her brothers and sisters were exploring Istanbul. It was an exciting city, a crossroads, filled with cats from Asia and Europe, of all breeds and temperaments.
 
Trouble’s mother always told her “Look out for your brothers and sisters, there is nothing more important than family. Defend them with your life!” Trouble revered her mother, and took those words deep into her heart.
 
With thousands of cats living in the streets, it was necessary for Istanbul to have rules of law. These rules were set by three wise felines, the Council of Elders.
 
One rule was, “Do not bite the hand that feeds.” It meant never retaliate if a human treated a cat badly. Humans were the source of food and drink, and that goodwill could not be put at risk.
 
There came a day when Trouble walked the streets with her brother Aziz and sister Serafina. As they stopped by a storefront to drink from a bowl of fresh water, a young human man bustled hurriedly across their path, accidentally pushing Aziz into a wall.
 
Aziz was not harmed, but Trouble struck out instinctively, biting hard into the young man’s ankle, drawing blood. “Ouch!” He yelped, “You’ve hurt me! I apologize my feline friends. I mean you no harm. We are all brothers and sisters here. Do not be so quick to perceive a slight!”
 
Trouble was embarrassed. She did not know she could be so unmeasured, so impulsive. Within hours, news of the biting spread across the city. Trouble was summoned to appear before the Council of Elders. She was afraid, but when she stepped before the Council, their reaction was unexpected.
 
“Young feline,” said Marius, the eldest of the Elders. “We have seen young cats like you before, filled with spirit, impulsive, ready to strike to defend your tribe. You shall not be punished today. But go to the rooftops, search within yourself, recognize your impulsive nature and think about how you may become its master instead of its servant.”
 
And with that, Trouble was dismissed. She climbed to the rooftop where she was born and looked out over beautiful Istanbul. She understood she had a fire deep within her, a fierce passion to protect those she loved. She vowed to honor the Elders, to control the storms inside her that caused her to lash  out.
 
But as she grew into adulthood those storms would only grow stronger. It was her nature. Her quickness to act, to strike, would become her greatest weakness … and her greatest strength.

A kitten was born into a litter in Central Park in New York City. She was raised in the shadows of the famous Delacorte theater, an outdoor stage renowned for plays by a human called Shakespeare.

The kitten watched as human actors rehearsed and performed. She didn’t understand their strange words and accents, but she delighted in how they transformed when they arrived on stage.

She observed fascinated, how they contorted their bodies to appear strong or weak, healthy or frail. How they altered their voices to project different attitudes … joy, despair, anger, desire.

As she learned from the humans, she practiced altering her own body and voice to become someone new. At nine months of age, now nearly an adult, she decided to test her skill on other cats.

Adopting the posture of an ancient cripple with a voice filled with pain that matched a broken body, she entered a crowd of felines and, approaching the strongest amongst them, nipped his hindquarters.

“Cursed old beast!” yelled the bitten cat. “How dare you strike me unprovoked! Out of my sight!” The deceiver hobbled away, bent and broken but secretly delighting in having been perceived as elderly and frail.

The following day she entered amongst a different group of cats, adopting the posture and voice of a cat with a scattered mind. She approached a powerful female and, as she had the previous day, nipped her hindquarters.
‍
“Away with you, pitiable thing!” hollered the female. “Be gone before I nip you back twice as hard!” The young cat slipped away, delighted with her success.

The next day the community of Central Park cats could talk of nothing but the mysterious “Nipper”. Who was this old beast, this crazy crone? Where did she come from, and where did she disappear to?

The following day the young cat returned to mingle with the same cats she had deceived, using her natural posture and voice. The other cats did not recognize her. None knew she and the Nipper were one and the same.

She recognized then, that she was a master of disguise who could come and go as she pleased, adopt any posture and excel in deception. “I am the Nipper,” she thought in her heart. “And I will use this talent to make a difference in this world.”

From the time he was a tiny kitten Houdini loved puzzles. He and his littermates were born into a wonderfully stimulating environment. Everyday they would run through complex mazes in search of a treat or food. They would run up ropes, ring bells, leap and jump, and crawl through tight spaces where a treat would always await at the finish line.

In the room next to them lived a family of white mice. One day a mouse squeezed under the door of their room, panicked looking back-and-forth.

“What’s wrong,” asked Houdini. “Why are you upset?”

“I’m trying to escape,” said the mouse. “I’m trying to get out of this place!”

“Why,” asked Houdini. “Why would you want to leave such a wonderful place as this?”

“Don’t you know what this place is?” asked the mouse. “This is a laboratory built by humans. We have no future here. We are being tested for our intelligence and reflexes. We have no lives of our own.”

Houdini was filled with horror. All the puzzles, the running, jumping and playing. It was all a lie. Part of someone else’s game.

That night Houdini used his dexterous claws to pick the lock of the laboratory. “We have to leave now” he said to his family, “before the morning comes and the humans return.“ But they were afraid. They would not come. The laboratory was all they had ever known.

Houdini ran down the corridor, escaping through a small hole in the wall and found his way outside to the sewers and daylight. He never saw his family again but he was free. Never again would he be a pawn in someone else’s game.

An audience of cultured humans watched the stage as beautiful music rose from a symphonic orchestra. On the podium before them, an elderly woman, Marguerite conducted the musicians, leading them through soaring notes.

Perched on a rafter, looking down upon the stage, the kitten Meriwether blinked slowly as the music engulfed her. Deep in a trance, she allowed the music to unlock her fierce perception and intellect. It always did. Enraptured in music, she felt the universe open before her.

Meriwether had been adopted and raised by Marguerite, who treated her with great love and kindness. Meriwether thrived, growing strong in mind and spirit. Because of the music that surrounded her every day, her brain developed differently from other kittens. When Marguerite’s friends visited, Meriwether perceived unspoken connections between them… joyous patterns of admiration and affection, but also troubling patterns … resentment, envy, even fear. She would later see those patterns not just in humans but in cats and other animals. She could detect hidden selves.

One day Meriwether felt something wrong with Marguerite. The elderly woman was crying. Meriwether buried herself in Marguerite’s lap, trying to comfort her.

“Oh Meriwether, what will we do?” sobbed the old woman. Meriwether was confused. What could possibly be sad in their lives, surrounded by beautiful music?

“Our concert hall is being torn down. This wonderful place where I have conducted music for 40 years, will be torn down by powerful people who will destroy anything, anyone who stands in their way. There’s nothing we can do.”

Meriwether didn’t understand the meaning of the words, but she would never forget them. She knew Marguerite’s heart, and could feel it had been shattered.

Over the next several months, Meriwether and Marguerite watched as their beloved concert hall was torn to the ground, replaced by a tall building where wealthy humans lived. Marguerite and her friends spoke many times over those months, of how the mayor of the city had used his wealth and power to put up the new building.

Two years later, Meriwether was no longer a kitten when her beloved Marguerite went to sleep and never woke. Meriwether went out into the world that night, feeling sadness but also the power to make the world better, to protect the weak and vulnerable from powerful forces determined to destroy anything, anyone who stands in their way.

Cheshire was teased every day when she was a kitten. She was the runt of the litter, but she was smaller than other runts, and the other cats wouldn’t let her forget it.

But Cheshire knew something the other cats didn’t. Because she was small and compact, she was extraordinarily balanced and agile. She dreamed of becoming an acrobat.

Cheshire had heard that the Flying Whiskers, a great feline acrobatic team, was coming to her city of Sydney Australia. She was determined to audition and join their ranks.

The day of the audition arrived and Cheshire presented herself to the troupe. She was about to start a tumbling routine when their leader, Claudette, interrupted her with a haughty cough. “She could never be one of us,” she said. “Just look at her… she’s so… small.”

The room grew silent as cats shuffled their paws with embarrassment. But not Cheshire. She had heard this remark many times before and this time, it made her laugh.

“Small,” she said, “I marvel at your creativity! Such an inventive insult you chose when you could have picked from so many more boring ones.”

She troupe chuckled, nervously.

“You might’ve said,” she continued, “this cat is so diminutive that when she stands next to a miniature poodle, other dogs mistake it for a Great Dane!”

The rest of the troupe stood still, unsure how to respond. Then one member, a powerfully built, stocky cat name Octavius broke out in a hearty laugh. The rest of the troupe began to smile.

“Or you might have said,” Cheshire continued, “she’s so microscopic, other cats mistake the fleas in her fur for elephants!” The troupe laughed loudly. Claudette began to blush. “Or,” Cheshire said, “this cat is so scrawny, when other contestants hear she’s entered the Runt of the Litter Pageant, they don’t bother to show up!”

Hoots erupted from the acrobats. They fell to the floor, howling in delight.

“Enough!” bellowed Claudette. Then a sly grin broke over her face. “You win,little one. You will have your audition today.”

And with those words, a beaming grin broke out on Cheshire’s face. Surveying her surroundings, she darted up a towering scaffold, and climbed out in a bristling wind, onto a clothing line for a daring high-wire act. Channeling her extraordinary balance, she set out to cross the line.

The acrobats hushed in silence below, knowing a strong gust of wind, could blow Cheshire into a dangerous free fall. But within minutes, she reached the other side with grace and confidence. Standing still, she awaited further taunts and tasks from the troupe. But instead a joyous cheer erupted from the gathered felines.

“Congratulations my dear,” said Claudette. “You are our sister. You are one of us now.”

As part of the Flying Whiskers, Cheshire grew in her acrobatic skill, and became renowned for her ability to use humor to gather allies and confidantes. But she would never forget the feeling of being taunted and teased. It would become her mission to defend other cats who were shunned and belittled because they were different.

Bruno grew up in a shelter, in a cage. He had no recollection of his parents or siblings. There were other cats in the shelter, each one waiting to find a home.

Bruno would watch them come and go. But he was very plain in his appearance with a flat gray coat, dark eyes and a restrained, thoughtful nature that left him largely unnoticed while other cats got attention and were adopted.

Bruno was in the shelter for eight months before an elderly man saw him and perceived intelligence in his eyes. The old man, whose name was Sigmund, brought Bruno home.

Every day Sigmund’s friends would visit their home to play a mysterious game, chess.

Bruno would sit perched on a bookshelf looking down as the game was played. In the beginning he didn’t understand the meaning or intent, but over time he discovered how the pieces moved and the objective of coordinating their movement as part of a broader strategy to checkmate the king.

Sometimes the players, both men and women, would even talk to Bruno about chess, noticing he was following the game with a level of concentration they themselves could not muster.

Within a year, Bruno had come to understand that all living creatures could be coordinated in a strategy to achieve great things. The thing Bruno wanted to do, the greatest achievement of all, was to help other cats in shelters and in situations of sadness and peril all over the world.

He would devote his life to it.
